practice exams

Preparation test runs

Practice exams are tests taken before an official examination, designed to simulate the real testing experience and help students identify areas needing further study.

They may be provided by instructors, included in textbooks, or created by test preparation companies.

Taking practice exams builds familiarity with question formats and timing pressure: I took three practice exams before the bar exam and it really helped with my pacing.
