How it works

  1. Pick timed (90 minutes, auto-submits) or untimed practice. The clock pauses whenever you leave the page.
  2. Type every answer as you would on the real exam. Answers save in this browser only; nothing is sent anywhere.
  3. Submit to see a model answer and rubric for each part, then tick what you earned to get your score out of 100.
  4. Retake a test any time from its results screen.
