Our mock tests are unique. We start with sets of 2 questions each (1.5 hours) so you get used to the pattern and learn from mistakes. Your answers are marked and returned with corrections, then you receive another set. This process repeats until you're writing full 3-hour mock exams just like the real thing. We create a platform for you to learn progressively, not just test you.
Live cohort classes typically run for 10-11 sessions. Feb 2026 cohort begins in December 2025, and May 2026 cohort begins in March 2026. You'll receive the exact schedule upon enrollment.
