FAQs

Benchmark 318; Standard/Apex/Black Diamond 160 each. This gives you enough practice to identify weak areas, build confidence, and master key concepts without overwhelming your study schedule.

The main difference is the difficulty level. Benchmark focuses on foundational questions for early study blocks. Standard mirrors true exam feel with balanced pacing. Apex includes advanced cases with tighter distractors. Black Diamond is our hardest set with cross-system reasoning—ideal for final-week drilling.

Your access depends on what you purchase:

  • Single practice exam: 90 days (3 months) from purchase
  • Bundle: 180 days (6 months) from purchase

That gives you plenty of time to practice at your own pace, review weak areas, and build confidence before test day.
