What this test simulates
The clock runs per section and does not carry over. Leaving a section closes it for good. A wrong answer costs a quarter of a mark, so every guess is a decision with a price. These constraints are the difference between knowing the material and being ready for the exam, and a practice test that drops them is measuring something else.
CEnT-S exam questions, written from scratch
Every question here is original. Official CISIA papers are used to calibrate format and difficulty and for nothing else: no question is copied, and none is an official question with the numbers changed. Reading and data passages are either public domain or written for this test.
Distractors are built from real mistakes rather than invented. The median where the question asked for the mean. The limiting reagent chosen wrongly. The intercept dropped from a line of best fit. A quarter-mark penalty makes those distinctions expensive, which is why each one is deliberate.

What you get afterwards
A raw score out of 55, broken down by section, and a full review of every question. Each explanation gives the worked solution and then names the most tempting wrong answer and says why it fails.
The raw score is reported as it stands. CISIA adds a normalisation coefficient after the macro-period closes, and since that depends on how every candidate performed, it cannot be predicted. How CEnT-S scoring works →
Before you start
Set aside 110 minutes without interruption. Have paper and a pen. Do not use a calculator or look anything up, since neither is permitted on the day.
If you close the tab, the session is kept and you can return to it at the same address, but the clock keeps running, exactly as it would in the exam room.
