How mock exam timing and format are set

Each mock follows the format that has been set for the sitting you choose. When you start a mock, we show which format is being simulated, including the number of questions per assessment, the number of sessions, the time allowed and the break between sessions.

Smaller mocks

Some mocks contain fewer questions than a full assessment, for example a short timed set. In that case:

• the mock is labelled as a smaller set, not a full exam;
• timing is scaled to the number of questions, and the mock tells you so;
• the result is a practice result for that set only.

If the format changes

When the SRA changes the format for a sitting, we update the format used for new mocks. A mock you have already taken keeps the format it was taken under, so you can always see what you sat.

The official source

Our mocks are practice tools. For the official format, dates and rules, always rely on the SRA's published assessment information.
