After completing the tests, you will receive a detailed score report that breaks down your performance in each section and suggests the best opportunities for improvement.

You May Be Asking...
What even is a practice test? Where do these tests come from?
A practice test is a full-length, proctored exam that lets you try out the test, and see what your starting point is. We give official exams from recent (in the last two years) exams.
How does taking practices tests help me?
Practice tests let you sharpen your skills, gauge your progress, and build up your testing endurance. They also provide valuable data to direct and customize your course of study.
I get extra time and other various accommodations; will my practice test include those accommodations?
Yes! We offer free diagnostic exams for time-and-a-half testing, testing with a reader, and many other accommodations. We also offer double-time multi-day testing for a small fee. When you sign up for a practice test, you’ll be directed to indicate which accommodations you require.
What will the practice test show me specifically? Just a general score or where my strengths and weaknesses are?
Our score reports offer you much more than a number. After your diagnostic, you will receive a 9-page report detailing your performance and indicating your greatest opportunities for improvement. There’s also a feature that allows students to indicate which questions they rushed through or guessed on and provides statistical analysis of the responses. You’ll also be contacted for a free consultation with one of our test prep experts to discuss your next steps.
