The Program Menu is the gateway to the Study Mode and Exam Mode practice exams, flashcards, exam tips, book references, full description of the competencies and all the other features.
The Welcome screen highlights the domains of the TExES exam in focus; the number of competencies it measures; some of the main features offered by the simulation software and the guidelines followed for its development.
You can save and exit an exam at any time. You can resume the exam where you left off from this screen by clicking the Load Saved Exam button. Once you score an exam it is stored away. You can gauge your progress over time by comparing your scores and reviewing details of earlier submissions stored in Exam History.
This snapshot shows the Exam History feature in detail. It shows the results of a test taker that submitted to three practice exams; failing on the first try with a 201 score and succeeding the next two attempts with scores of 261 and 297 – in the TExES the minimum passing score is 240 and the maximum score is 300. This test taker can review all the questions in those exams by clicking the Details button.
