The experience

What to expect on test day

Timed simulation
Every mock runs under real exam time pressure. No pauses, no hints — exactly like the day.
Randomised questions
Every attempt draws fresh questions. You cannot memorise your way to a pass — you have to understand.
Integrity monitoring
Tab switches are logged in mock mode. Three switches auto-submits — same discipline as a real proctor.
Detailed results
Topic-by-topic breakdown, every answer explained, and a personalised 5-day study plan when you finish.
How to prepare

Immigration study playbook

Four habits that move the needle most — pulled from how high-scorers actually study.

01
Read the official study guide cover-to-cover — every question comes directly from it.
02
Build a one-page cheat sheet of key dates, names, and numbers. Review it daily.
03
Practise under timed conditions from day one — speed matters as much as accuracy.
04
Review every wrong answer immediately. Write down the rule you missed.
