The study system

Mock exams and how they are scored

Updated 2026-08-21

Mocks are full-length, blueprint-weighted, timed rehearsals of your real exam — the same domain mix, a real clock, and no hints. They're part of every paid pass (your free trial covers the study system; mocks unlock with purchase).

How scoring works — the same way the real exam does:

  • Your score is correct answers over the total number of questions.
  • Unanswered questions count as wrong. Budget your time; never leave blanks.
  • Your score is shown against your exam's pass threshold, and afterwards you can review every question with its full explanation.

Retakes are unlimited. Take any mock as many times as you like — there is no cap. We keep your best finished score for each mock, and the mocks page always recommends the one you've taken least, so you naturally rotate through fresh material.

Mocks and the SurePass Guarantee. The guarantee's bar is 80%+ on two different mocks — two attempts at the same mock are a memory test, not a readiness test, so they don't qualify. And timing matters: both qualifying attempts need to land within the 14 days before your real exam. See "Am I qualified yet?"

A good rhythm: don't burn all your mocks early. Use questions and flashcards to build, then place your full-length mocks in the final stretch — your Game Plan schedules exactly this when your exam date is set.
