Tips for Getting the Most Out of Practice Exams

Time yourself

Use a timer to simulate real exam pressure. Knowing how long each section takes helps you pace yourself on test day.

Review every answer

Don't just check what you got wrong — review the correct answers too. Understanding why an answer is right is just as important.

Repeat weak sections

If you struggle with a particular topic, go back to the Grammar Lessons tab and study that rule before retaking the exam.

Write out your reasoning

For grammar questions, write a sentence explaining the rule. Teaching yourself the rule in writing locks it into memory.
