How our tests work

Original material

We replicate the format of each exam, never its content. Every passage and question is written for EnglishCBT.

Marked the way the exam marks

Spelling counts. Word limits are enforced. A three-word answer to a two-word question scores zero — exactly as on test day.

You can pause

Answers, flags and highlights are saved in your browser as you go, so a refresh or a dropped connection won't cost you the attempt.
