  • A timed, full-length EmSAT mock exam โ€” 60 questions in 120 minutes with a 55% pass mark, modeled on the official exam's question count and time limit, followed by a score report broken down by exam domain.
  • A fixed EmSAT question bank: the same test every attempt, so your score is comparable from one try to the next instead of changing with every regenerated quiz.
  • Progress saved on your device: completed tests, scores and missed questions stay in My Progress, so you can retake only what you got wrong.
  • EmSAT flashcards built from the same question bank.
