The **exam simulator** reproduces the real conditions of a certification exam (the PMP, for example): same timer, same number of questions, same pass mark. This guide shows you how to take a mock exam from start to finish. > [!NOTE] > > Everything below is for the **web app** on a computer. You will see your own exams. *** ## Table of contents * **Step 1 — Open My Exam Simulator** * **Step 2 — Read the exam page** * **Step 3 — Confirm and start** * **Step 4 — Answer the questions** * **Step 5 — Submit and see your score** * **Good to know** *** ## Step 1 — Open My Exam Simulator In the top bar, click **My Content**, then the **My Exam Simulator** tab (address `/student-my-content/exams`). Your exams are grouped by category; each card shows the exam title, its instructor, the number of questions and the duration. Click a card to open it. ![The My Exam Simulator tab with exam cards grouped by category](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7/images/student-guide/en/exams/01-my-exam-simulator.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7\&q=85\&s=38359f041e720c4a78223d70774b0d5f) My Content → My Exam Simulator: the mock exams you own, grouped by category. > [!TIP] > > The **Search…** box filters the exams by name. **Grouped by category** at the top right switches > between the grouped view and a single list. When a category holds more exams than one row, > **See all** opens the rest. *** ## Step 2 — Read the exam page ![The page of the PMP Examen Blanc 11 FR exam with its information chips](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7/images/student-guide/en/exams/02-exam-page.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7\&q=85\&s=62c0a0d22a05184aec69a692c217b7d4) The page of a mock exam, before you start it. The chips under the title sum up the rules: | Chip | Meaning | | :- | :- | | `199 Questions` | The number of questions. | | `3 Hours 30 Minutes` | The time you have. | | `3/3 attempts.` | The attempts you have **left**, out of the total allowed. | | **No break** | The exam has no scheduled break. Otherwise, the chip shows the planned break. | | `Passing Grade 70%` | The minimum score to pass. | Further down, **Why take a mock exam?** explains the simulator, the **Exam conditions** section details the rules, and **See my attempts** opens the history of your attempts. *** ## Step 3 — Confirm and start Click **Start the exam**. The **Before you begin** window recalls the conditions: ![The Before you begin window with the confirmation checkbox and the Start the exam button](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7/images/student-guide/en/exams/03-before-you-begin.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7\&q=85\&s=b36b8b2e561de717a317f45cbbb90614) The confirmation window before the exam starts. **1. Read the conditions** Timer, navigation and breaks identical to the official exam; browser extensions (translation included) disabled; you must stay on the exam page; the timer does not stop. **2. Tick the confirmation box** *"I have read and understood the exam conditions, and I'm ready to start under these conditions."* **3. Click Start the exam** A short countdown shows, then the first question appears and the timer starts. > [!WARNING] > > Every start uses one attempt, even if you never submit your answers. Once your attempts are used > up, a new purchase is required. *** ## Step 4 — Answer the questions The exam screen has three areas: | Area | What it does | | :- | :- | | Top bar | The exam title and the **time left**. | | Centre | The current question and its answers. The bookmark icon (**Bookmark this question**) sets it aside so you can come back to it. **Previous** and **Next** at the bottom change question. | | **Question panel** (right) | Every question number, with the **All**, **Answered** and **Bookmarked** filters. Click a number to go to it. **Hide sidebar** gives you more room. | > [!NOTE] > > If the exam has breaks, you can only move between the questions you have already reached: the > next ones unlock after the break. *** ## Step 5 — Submit and see your score Click **Submit** at the bottom of the **Question panel**. If some questions are still bookmarked, the app tells you so you can check them first. When the time runs out, your answers are submitted automatically. The **Review Answers** screen then opens with your score and the correction of every question — see [Review your exam attempts](https://docs-strived.mintlify.site/student-guide/review-your-exam-attempts.md). **Retry** starts a new attempt if you have any left. *** ## Good to know > [accordion] Can I reload the page during the exam? > > No. Reloading or leaving the page stops the exam and your answers are **not** submitted. To > stop on purpose, use **Quit Exam**. > [accordion] I have no attempts left > > The chip shows `0/3 attempts.` Contact support from the **Help Center** if you need to take > the exam again. > [accordion] Why does my browser's translation not work? > > As on the day of the official exam, most browser extensions, translation tools included, are > disabled during the exam. > [accordion] Where can I find new mock exams? > > In **Marketplace → Exam Catalog** — see > [Buy a training or an exam](https://docs-strived.mintlify.site/student-guide/buy-a-training.md).
