Practice Tests (1–40) vs. Timed Mock Exams (1–16): Which Should You Take First?

Many candidates jump straight into timed mock exams before learning the handbook facts. To pass first time in 2026, use both modes strategically:

1. Stage 1 — Chapter & Topic Mastery (/study-guide & /chapters): Read the 5 chapters of the 3rd Edition handbook in our Study Guide and complete the 30 Chapter Tests in /chapters.
2. Stage 2 — Untimed Practice Tests 1 to 40 (/tests): In Practice Test mode, every time you select an answer, you immediately see whether you were right or wrong—along with the full 3rd Edition handbook explanation and British English audio narration.
3. Stage 3 — Timed Mock Exams 1 to 16 (/exams): In Mock Exam mode, instant answer feedback and hints are hidden while the clock counts down—exactly like the real computer screen at a PSI / UKVI test centre. Once you submit all 24 questions, Post-Exam Review Mode unlocks every explanation so you can study any mistakes.
