Timed Exams

Timed exams

Sit a timed paper like the real thing: change answers until you submit, results at the end.

A timed exam works like a real exam paper. You answer every question against the clock and see your score, the correct answers and the explanations only at the end. Timed exams are part of Premium.

Starting a timed exam

  1. Open New Session and choose your subjects, difficulty and number of questions.
  2. Under Timed exam, tick Enable timed session mode and set the total time.
  3. Press Start session. The clock starts straight away.

The rules

  • Move freely between questions and change any answer until you finish or time runs out.
  • You are not told whether an answer is right until the end.
  • The timer cannot be paused. Your answers save as you go, and the clock keeps running if you reload the page or switch device.
  • Unanswered questions score nothing.

Afterwards

  • Your results show your score, your timing and how you compare with other learners.
  • You can then go through every question with its correct answer and explanation.
