Before you begin

  1. 1In real-exam mode the timer runs on our server from the moment you start. Refreshing, closing the tab or losing the network does not pause or reset it — exactly like exam day.
  2. 2Every answer is saved on your device instantly and synced to our server within a second. Only answers our server receives before time ends are counted. The status chip shows exactly what is saved.
  3. 3Wrong answers carry negative marks. Unanswered questions score zero.
  4. 4Open one tab per attempt. If you open it elsewhere, you'll be asked which device should continue.
  5. 5Works on phones; a laptop gives the closest feel to computer-based exams.
