Diagnostic Tests to Build your Plan to Pass
Not sure what to study first, or if you’re ready to pass?
We offer a free diagnostic test, that balances exam weight and your strengths and weaknesses, so you know exactly where you need additional support.
What's included in the free practice test
The free practice test isn't a sample or a teaser. It's a full-length, exam-aligned diagnostic — the same format and quality as the practice tests inside our paid study guides. Here's what you get:
- A full-length practice test sized to match the real exam — same question count, same content categories, same approximate timing.
- Questions written in the same format you'll see on test day — multiple choice, multi-select, drag-and-drop where applicable, and constructed-response prompts on exams that include them.
- A score report when you finish, broken down by content category. This is the most useful piece — it tells you exactly where you'd lose points right now, which is the most useful study information you can have before exam day.
- A study plan recommendation based on your results when you create a free account to save your score.
Most practice tests run between 90 minutes and 4 hours depending on the exam. Plan for a single uninterrupted sitting.
Why take a free practice test before you study
Most candidates jump straight into studying content. That's backwards. You don't know which content needs your attention until you take a diagnostic.
Taking a full-length practice test first gives you three things you can't get any other way:
- A baseline score. You know where you're starting, which means you can tell whether your studying is actually moving the needle. Without a baseline, you're just hoping.
- A map of your weak spots. Score reports break results down by content category. The categories where you scored below 70% are where your study time belongs. Strong areas don't need the same attention.
- A read on the format itself. If you've never seen the exam format, the first test is partly a format-discovery exercise. Better to discover that on a free practice test than on the one that costs $90 to $200.
If you're a few weeks out from your exam, this is the fastest single step you can take. If you're months out, it's still the best place to start.
Bottom Line:
The free practice test tells you exactly where you'd lose points right now — which is the single most useful piece of information before you start studying.
Is there a free trial of 240 Tutoring?
No — 240 Tutoring doesn't offer a time-limited free trial of the paid subscription. The free option is the practice test on this page.
You may see third-party sites claiming 240 offers a 48-hour trial. That's not accurate. The only free way to use 240's content is the free full-length practice test, which doesn't require a credit card and doesn't auto-convert to a paid subscription.
If you want to see what the full study guide is like before subscribing, the practice test is the closest substitute. The questions on the free test are written by the same team and to the same standard as the questions inside the paid product — there's just less of it. The paid subscription adds three additional full-length practice tests, thousands more practice questions, video lessons, flashcards, and the 240 Guarantee.
When the free practice test may not be enough
The free practice test is a strong starting point, but it's not a study plan. Here are the situations where you'll want more than just the practice test:
- Your exam is more than two weeks out. The practice test tells you where to focus; it doesn't teach you the content. If you have real prep time before exam day, you'll need a study guide, video lessons, or another structured prep resource to actually learn the material.
- You scored below 50% on the practice test. A score that low usually means you need foundational content review across multiple categories, which the practice test alone won't give you.
- Your exam has a constructed-response section. The free test will give you a sample CR prompt, but you'll need more practice — and ideally feedback on your written responses — before exam day.
- You've failed the exam once already. A retake situation calls for a focused, category-specific study plan. The practice test is step one; the next step is structured prep on your weakest categories.
In each of those cases, the practice test is still useful — it tells you whether 240's format works for how you study before you commit to anything paid.

They're written by the same team to the same standard. The free practice test is one full-length diagnostic. The paid study guide includes three additional full-length practice tests, thousands of practice questions inside the study modules, video lessons, flashcards, and the 240 Guarantee. The free one is the same quality — just less of it.
It'll give you a strong indication. As a benchmark, scoring 90% or higher on a 240 practice test under timed conditions is the threshold for our pass guarantee. A score in the 70–89% range means you're close but should target your weakest categories before exam day. Below 70% means you'll want more prep time.
It's built to match the official test specifications from ETS, Pearson, or whichever testing company administers your exam. Customers often tell us 240's practice questions are slightly harder than the real exam, which is intentional — preparing for harder questions builds stamina and confidence for the real thing.
You'll get a score report with a category-by-category breakdown. The categories where you scored below 70% are where your study time should go first. If you want a structured plan covering those categories, the full 240 study guide for your exam picks up exactly where the practice test leaves off.
