How this works

Answer every question — you can navigate freely and change answers before submitting.
You will not see correct answers during the test, just like the real exam.
After you submit, you get your percent correct, a readiness read against an 80% target, and a category-by-category diagnostic showing where you're ready and where you need work.
Every question is then revealed with the correct answer and a full rationale.

Enable the 120-minute timer for realistic pacing practice — the real exam allows 90 minutes for up to 90 questions, about one minute each (optional — you can keep going if it runs out)
