Practice Tests & Exams

How long are the practice tests?
Practice test lengths vary by certification, typically matching the actual exam duration. For example, AWS Solutions Architect Associate is 130 minutes with 65 questions, while CompTIA Security+ is 90 minutes with 90 questions.
Can I pause and resume a practice test?
Yes! Your progress is automatically saved. You can close your browser and return later to continue where you left off.
Do practice tests have a timer?
Yes, each practice test includes a countdown timer matching the real exam duration. However, the timer is for practice purposes only - your test won't auto-submit when time expires.
How are practice tests scored?
You receive instant results showing your percentage score, number of correct answers, and whether you passed (based on official passing scores). Each question includes detailed explanations.

Certifications

Which certifications do you offer?
We offer practice tests for AWS (Solutions Architect, Developer, SysOps), Azure (Administrator, Solutions Architect), CompTIA (A+, Network+, Security+), CISSP, CCNA, PMP, and many more. New certifications are added regularly.
Are practice tests available in multiple languages?
Yes! ExamReady supports English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese. However, certification content is primarily in English as most exams are English-based.
How often are practice tests updated?
We regularly update our content to reflect the latest exam objectives and industry changes. Major certifications are reviewed quarterly.
Will passing a practice test guarantee I pass the real exam?
While our practice tests are excellent preparation tools, we cannot guarantee exam success. Actual exam results depend on your preparation, experience, and other factors. We recommend multiple practice attempts and supplementary study.

Technical & Privacy

What data do you collect?
We collect minimal data. We use Google Analytics (with anonymized IPs) to improve the site. Your test progress is stored locally in your browser - we don't store it on our servers.
Is my data secure?
Yes. We implement industry-standard security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options) to protect your browsing experience. Your practice test answers are never transmitted to our servers.
Which browsers are supported?
ExamReady works on all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers. We recommend keeping your browser updated for the best experience.
Does ExamReady work offline?
Partially. Once you load a practice test, you can complete it offline. However, you need an internet connection to load new tests and access explanations.

Exam Preparation

How should I use ExamReady to prepare for my exam?
We recommend: (1) Take a practice test to identify weak areas, (2) Study official documentation and resources, (3) Retake practice tests until you consistently score 85%+, (4) Review explanations for incorrect answers.
How many times should I take a practice test before the real exam?
Most successful candidates take each practice test 3-5 times, ensuring they understand why each answer is correct or incorrect. Focus on understanding concepts, not memorizing answers.
Are there any other resources I should use?
Yes! Practice tests are just one part of preparation. We recommend official documentation, video courses, hands-on labs, and study groups. Check our blog for comprehensive study guides.
What's a good practice test score before taking the real exam?
We recommend consistently scoring 85% or higher on practice tests before attempting the real exam. However, this varies by certification and your experience level.
