What the test engine actually does
A mock exam is only worth the hours it costs if the conditions match the real thing. These are the mechanics that make the match — and the ones that protect your work when something goes wrong.
While you sit the test
- Section timing, per the published clock
- Each section runs its own timer — 32 and 35 minutes for the SAT modules, 45 for each GMAT section. A section cannot be started early and its clock does not pause.
- Adaptive routing where the exam adapts
- The SAT and GMAT Focus route you into a second module based on your performance in the first, on the same rules the live tests use.
- Answers saved as you give them
- Every response is written the moment you make it, not when you submit. A dropped connection, a closed laptop or a flat battery costs you time, never answers.
- Flag anything to revisit
- Mark a question and it stays marked in the navigator, so the last two minutes go where they are worth most.
- Answered, blank and flagged at a glance
- The question navigator shows every question's state, so you never spend the end of a section discovering what you skipped.
- Safe auto-submit
- When the clock reaches zero the section submits with everything recorded to that instant. Running out of time never discards work already done.
- Every question format the exams use
- Single-answer and multiple-answer questions, numeric entry, passage-linked question sets, and questions built on tables and figures.
- Built for a phone as well as a laptop
- The full test works on a small screen: passages and questions stack rather than shrink, and the navigator collapses without hiding what you have answered.
When you read the result
- A score band, not a single number
- Results are reported as a range on the exam's real scale, because that is what a test score can honestly support. The band narrows as you complete more sections.
- Section scores, on their own scales
- Each section is reported the way the exam reports it, alongside the composite.
- Right, wrong and blank, counted separately
- A skipped question and a wrong one mean different things about your preparation, so they are never merged into one accuracy figure.
- Worked explanations
- Every question is explained after the section is scored — what the answer is, and why the attractive wrong option attracts.
When you come back
- Progress across attempts
- Your dashboard plots section scores over time on one scale, so you can see whether a change is real movement or ordinary variation.
- Retakes recorded honestly
- A retake is stored as a separate attempt and a form you have already seen is marked as such. A second score on the same form measures familiarity as much as ability.
- Question bank practice by weakness
- Targeted practice by domain and difficulty for the areas your results say are costing you the most.
- AI tutor on your own attempt
- Ask about a question you got wrong, in the context of the attempt you just sat, rather than in the abstract.
One account, one history
Your attempts, scores and question-bank progress live under a single account, so the record of what you have practised does not fragment across exams. See which exams are available.
