Getting Started

In the "Test View" tree on the left, there are multiple categories of tests - Standard Tests,  Practice Tests, Objective wise Test, and Custom Tests. Each category has multiple Tests. To take any of these tests, just double click on the Test node. For example, double click on Test 1 under Standard Test to start Test 1. You will be asked to enter a name for this attempt. You can take any test any number of times. Each attempt is showed right under the Test. For example,  if you take Test 1 with the name, First Attempt, you will see a node named First Attempt under Test 1.

All tests under Standard Tests (except Foundation Tests, if present) mimic the real test in terms of topic distribution, toughness level,  and time.  Questions in Foundation Tests are meant to check only your basic knowledge and you should start with them. A low score on a Foundation Test means that you need to go through a book before attempting other tests. You may also see Unique Test or Last Day Test under standard tests. Questions in these tests are excluded from Objective-wise tests, Practice tests, and Leitner tests. This ensures that you will have at least one test with completely unseen questions even if you take non-standard tests.

Take the rest of the standard tests if you think you are well prepared for the real exam. After taking the test,  go through the explanations for each question...even for the questions that you answered correctly. This is because we try to put lot of useful information in the explanations, which can help you understand the concept better. Identify the topics in which you scored least and study those topics from any book. Develop some sample programs to test out the concepts if necessary.  Only after you are comfortable with topics on which you scored least,  you should attempt the next test. Your goal is to increase the scores on these topics on the next test. If you are able to pass all the tests comfortably, you will pass the real test with flying colors!

Practice Tests: Some questions banks may also contain Practice Tests. These are useful when you want to check your level of preparation. It contains Easy, Tough, and Very Tough tests.  It may also contain a Most Missed Test. This test contains questions that are answered incorrectly the most by all the users of this question bank. To use this test, you need internet connection because it fetches the list of most missed questions dynamically from our server.

Objective-wise Tests are useful when you are following a book and after each chapter/topic/exam objective, you want to solve questions only from that topic.

Finally, if you need something other than all the above types of tests, you can customize the tests under Custom Tests. For example, if you want questions on two topics, just right click on Custom Tests node and click on "Create New Test Criteria".  Give a name to the Test Criteria (e.g. My Test on topic 1 and 2). It will open up a Criteria set up screen which is self explanatory. Once you create this custom test criteria, you can take tests on this criteria just like the other tests. In fact, all other tests are nothing but pre-defined test criteria!

Note: All the questions delivered by various tests come from a single question bank. Thus, if you take an Easy Test and then take a Standard Test, you might get questions that you've already seen. However, tests under Standard Tests are unique among themselves  (i.e. questions in one standard test are not repeated in any other standard test) and cover all the questions from the question bank. We do not recommend taking Practice and Objective-wise tests for the same reason that they use up the questions.
