Over this past year we made significant investments in our team of writers in anticipation of launching a revised online product for delivering practice tests. The new product will be included free with registration and will be launched in November 2013. The new product will contain more questions and more types of assessments. We will have topic-based exams so candidates can test themselves on the curriculum as they work through it. And, we will continue offering mock exams, which contain all topics in similar proportion to the live exam. This spring we will add additional questions to the question bank by repurposing old mock exam questions that we have been able to confirm as remaining valid or that we have been able to edit to make the valid again in cases where the curriculum has changed. So, in that sense, we are about to begin making past years' mock exams available-at least those portions that are valid based on the latest version of the curriculum. The Level III essay (i.e., constructed response) exams are the only exams that we publish -- exam questions and guideline answers -- to illustrate the structure and difficulty of exam questions. At present, we publish for the last three years. Candidates can use these exams for practice if they wish (before checking the guideline answers). The guideline answers are often not the only correct possible answers and generally provide more information than required for full credit. For more mock exams and prep material, remember that you can always visit our Reviews and Offers section to see what deals we have for you!
