    Practice that feels like exam day

    Most certification exams are long, timed and full of scenario questions where two answers look right. The best way to get ready is to practice under the same conditions: the same pace, the same question styles, and no peeking at the answer until you're done. Then go through every explanation, including the questions you got right by luck.

    Exam Ascent gives you exactly that for each exam it covers, plus a study mode for when you'd rather learn as you go.

    Two ways to practice

    • Exam mode: full-length simulations drawn at random from the exam's question bank and timed at the real exam's pace. Mark questions for review, jump around with the question navigator, pause if life interrupts, and see your score and every explanation when you submit.
    • Study mode: no timer. Check each answer as you go and read its explanation straight away. Study sessions are kept out of your exam scores, so your progress chart shows how you do under exam conditions.

    What you get for every exam

    • Explanations for every option: why the right answer is right, and why each of the others is wrong.
    • All-or-nothing scoring: a multiple-response or matching question only counts when every part of your answer is right, so your score never flatters you.
    • Exam-day tools: mark questions for review, jump around with the question navigator, cross out options you've ruled out, and pause when you need to.
    • Keep going if your connection drops: answers are kept on your device and saved as soon as you're back online, even if you close the tab in the meantime.
    • Progress charts: your score and your time per question across tests, each with a trend line, so you can see whether you're getting more accurate and faster.
    • Review that targets your gaps: after a test, filter the review to just the questions you got wrong.
    • Short sessions too: quick sets of 10 or 20 questions, or the whole bank in 50-question blocks.
    • Any device: works in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.
