What the report shows you
Thinking level
How you did on broad knowledge, comprehension and critical-thinking questions. Half of the CDRE's questions test critical thinking.
Case-based and independent questions
Whether the longer case scenarios cost you more than standalone questions.
Pace
Your average time per question in each part, next to the real exam's average of about 1 minute 18 seconds.
Three areas to fix first
Ranked by how many questions you missed and how much that area counts on the exam. Each links to its lessons, which come with Premium.
Every rationale
Review all 185 questions with a rationale for every option, including why each wrong answer is wrong.
Built like the real sitting
- 185 multiple-choice questions with four options each
- Two 2-hour parts with an optional 15-minute break
- Part I locks when you submit it, as it does on exam day
- About 1 in 5 questions belong to case-based sets
- Each mock is drawn fresh from 1,111 Canadian-authored questions
Format details are from the official CDRE Preparation Guide.
Treat it like exam day
Set aside about 4 and a half hours and start at the same time of day as your real booking if you can. Work without a calculator, keep your phone in another room, and take the break between parts. The clock does not pause, just as on exam day.
Can't sit for 4 hours in one go? Choose untimed when you start. Your answers save as you go, and you still get the full report.

Questions
Is this the same mock exam Premium members take?
Yes. It's the same 185-question format, drawn from the same question bank, with the same review and report.
What if I can't finish in one sitting?
Your answers save as you go, and coming back to an unfinished mock doesn't use another attempt. In timed mode the clock keeps running while you're away, as it would on exam day. If you can't set aside about 4 and a half hours, choose untimed when you start.
How does the credit work?
Upgrade to Premium within 7 days of buying the pass or of finishing your mock, whichever is later, and the amount you paid comes off at checkout. It's applied for you when you're signed in. It doesn't combine with other discounts; you get whichever is larger.
Does a good score mean I'll pass?
No mock can promise that, and the CDRE's pass mark isn't published. Use your report to decide where your remaining study time goes.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, if you haven't started your mock and you bought it less than 14 days ago. Once you start, the sale is final, except where the law requires a refund or something went wrong on our side. If a technical problem on our end stops you finishing, we'll reset your attempt.
Does the pass come with "study until you pass"?
No. Keeping your access until you pass comes with Premium. The pass is one full mock exam.
