FAQ

Common questions.

What's the difference between the 190 and the 890?

Different test editions used in different states. The content and format are essentially the same — both assess knowledge of evidence-based reading instruction. Your state determines which number you take.

How long does my access last?

30 days from the date of purchase. That gives you plenty of time to complete the diagnostic, work through the study guide, and take all your practice tests.

What's the AI-graded written response?

The real exam has 2 open-ended written assignments. You type your response, and our system scores it 0–2 using the same rubric framework as the NES — with specific feedback on what to improve.

How are practice test scores reported?

On the 100–300 NES scaled score. Passing is 220 in most states. Your results page shows your score, pass/not pass status, and performance in each subarea — exactly like the real score report.

Is this a subscription?
