Taking the practice test
You will have 120 days to access your practice test, beginning on the date of activation.
Each practice test includes field-specific directions similar to those that will be presented in the actual test. Practice test questions may include graphics, audio materials, and writing assignments, as appropriate. There is currently only one version of each practice test.
While you are testing, you may pause the test and return to it later if you wish; you do not have to finish the test in a single session.
Your practice test can be submitted for scoring only once, but it will be available for your review until the end of your subscription period (120 days). After you submit your practice test for scoring, you will receive immediate results showing your objective-level performance on multiple-choice questions. NES practice tests and the MN NES EAS practice tests include explanations of correct responses.
Practice tests with written assignment(s) include sample responses, and some fields (e.g., MN NES EAS Writing subtest) also include analyses of each response. You can compare your response to the sample responses to gauge your performance.
For the MN NES EAS Writing subtest, your essay will be submitted and scored with results presented immediately, along with sample responses and scoring information.
