What is the difference between a practice test and a question bank?
A practice test is a full-length, timed sitting in the structure of the real exam. It tells you where you stand and ends in an exam-specific score report and a review of every question. A question bank is for targeted practice: you choose a section, topic, skill and difficulty, answer a set of questions, then review every answer with its worked explanation. Most students use the test to find weak areas and the bank to fix them.
Which exams can I practise for?
Digital SAT, ACT, TR-YOS, 31 AP subjects, GRE General Test, GMAT Exam, Law School Admission Test, IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT and PTE Academic. Full-length practice tests are available for the Digital SAT, ACT, TR-YOS, 31 AP subjects, GRE General Test, GMAT Exam, Law School Admission Test, IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT and PTE Academic, and question banks for the Digital SAT, ACT, TR-YOS, 2 AP subjects, GRE General Test, GMAT Exam, IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT and PTE Academic. Published tests open after payment; packs can also include tests sold before publication, with access starting when those tests open.
How many questions are in the question banks?
SAT: 9,000; ACT: 7,500; TR-YOS: 3,123; AP Chemistry: 8,294; AP Physics 1: 8,001; GRE: 20,314; GMAT: 11,271; IELTS: 7,890; TOEFL: 2,980; PTE: 6,605. The counts are read from the live question database and include only questions that are available to practise.
Are the practice tests adaptive?
Only where the real exam is, and in the same way. Your Module 1 score routes you to an easier or a harder Module 2 in each section, the same two-stage design the real test uses. On the GRE, after your first Verbal and first Quant section, you are routed to an easy, medium or hard second section based on how many you answered correctly. On the GMAT, questions are drawn from the GMAT bank while you work: difficulty steps up after a correct answer and down after a wrong one, with topics rotated so the same topic does not repeat back to back. On the TOEFL, Reading and Listening are two-stage, as on the real test: your first module routes you to an easier or a harder second module. Writing and Speaking are the same for everyone. ACT, TR-YOS, 31 AP subjects, Law School Admission Test, IELTS Academic and PTE Academic are not adaptive, and neither are our tests for them.
Practice tests
How many times can I take each test?
Each test can be sat up to 2 times. On the SAT, ACT, TR-YOS, 31 AP subjects, GRE, GMAT, LSAT and PTE tests, if you close the tab in the middle of a sitting, your answers are saved and the same sitting resumes when you return. On the IELTS and TOEFL tests, take each sitting in one go: closing the tab or reloading the page can lose the answers of the section you are in.
Are the scores official?
No. Your report gives an estimated score on each exam's own scale, converted from your answers by our scoring. It is a practice estimate, not a score from College Board, ACT, ÖSYM, ETS, GMAC, LSAC, IELTS or Pearson, and it is not a prediction of your result on test day.
Which tests do I get when I buy a bundle?
For published packs, you choose your tests at checkout. For a pack with fewer published tests, all published tests you do not hold open after payment and the remainder opens automatically once enough new tests are published. You cannot buy a test you already own.
Question banks
When do I see the answers?
When you finish a set, every answer is marked and you can review each question with the correct answer and its worked explanation, with filters for incorrect, skipped and slow answers.
Can I try a bank before buying?
The banks open with a plan.
How long does access last?
Question-bank access lasts 120 days (240 days for an AP subject's bank) from the day it opens. SAT, GRE, GMAT, PTE and the AP banks open after payment. ACT, IELTS, TOEFL and TR-YOS plans open when every section they cover has questions, straight away if they do now. It is a fixed window, not a subscription: it does not renew and you are never charged again automatically.
Account and payment
Do I need an account?
Yes, to take a test or practise, and to keep your history. It is free. The same sign-in also works on other TestPrep Group websites.
How do I pay?
Pay through Stripe by card or, depending on your country, other payment methods. The total is shown before you pay.
Can I get a refund?
Practice tests, question banks and AI Tutor time are digital content. You can ask for a refund of a digital product you have not used within 14 days of the payment date. A product counts as used once any practice test in the pack has been started, any question in a paid section of the question bank has been opened, or any second of AI Tutor time has been used; a used product is not refunded. If you are charged twice by mistake, contact us and the duplicate charge is refunded.
What do I need to take a test?
A free account and a current browser. Use a laptop or desktop for full-length tests, as on test day. The question banks also work on a phone. IELTS, TOEFL and PTE speaking tasks need a working microphone.
How do I contact you?
