Practice exam

How it works

1. Keep the Act and the Code open beside you. Questions are written to be answered by finding the right section, table or sentence.
2. All 70 questions are on one page. You have 3 hours, as in the real exam. The clock starts when you press Start and counts down on our server; you’ll get a warning with 15 and 5 minutes left.
3. Flag any question with Unsure and use Next unsure to come back to it.
4. Submit at any time. At 3 hours your exam is submitted for you. Unanswered questions count as incorrect.
5. Your answers are scored when you submit. You’ll then see your score, a breakdown by topic, and the correct answer and Code or Act reference for every question.

If you leave before submitting

• Timer. The clock doesn’t pause. It keeps counting down on our server from the moment you press Start, so time away from the page comes out of your 3 hours.
• Your answers. Each answer is saved to your account a moment after you pick it. Come back to this page before your 3 hours are up and choose Resume it to carry on where you left off, on this or any other device.
• Your result. If your 3 hours run out while you’re away, your exam is scored with the answers saved by then, and unanswered questions count as incorrect. You’ll see the result the next time you open this page, and it’s added to your dashboard like any other attempt.
• Payment. Practice exams are free with an account for now, so leaving an exam costs you nothing.

Each attempt draws 70 questions you haven’t had yet in this cycle. When fewer than 70 are left, the next attempt uses all of them, tops up with earlier ones, and a new cycle begins. Questions are written for study, not taken from Ministry exams.
