Timed mock exams and the certificate
The mocks run both paper formats end to end: fresh questions every sitting, a server-enforced timer, and a recorded result. One sitting can cover both papers in sequence, or you can take either paper on its own.
The two papers side by side
| Format | Foundation | Practitioner |
|---|---|---|
| Questions | 40 single answer | 8 scenarios |
| Time | 60 minutes | 90 minutes |
| Materials | Closed book | Open book, reference panel |
| Scoring | 1 point per question | 5, 3, 1 or 0 per scenario |
| Pass mark | 24 of 40 points | 24 of 40 points |
These mocks are study aids for this course, not an accredited external certification.
What a recorded sitting involves
- 1Sign in and give the name you want on your certificate before the sitting starts.
- 2The server draws your questions and runs the clock; answers stop counting when time runs out, and leaving the page does not pause it.
- 3On submission you get your points, the pass decision, and a result for every exam domain, with the modules to revisit for anything below the line.
The name on your certificate
The name you enter before your first certifying sitting is the name that goes on every certificate you earn, and it locks at that point. There is no self-service rename afterwards, so enter it exactly as you want it to read, with the right spelling and capitalisation, before you start. Practice sittings do not ask for a name and record nothing.
The certificate, and how anyone can verify it
Pass a paper and its certificate is issued to the name you locked in, available from your account page. Passing both papers earns two certificates. Every certificate carries a unique credential number and a QR code that resolve on the public verification page, so an employer can confirm in seconds that the result is genuine and unaltered.
