Plain answers about how PE-S Exam Prep works: the exam, the questions, pricing, the free trial, and what you actually get.

The PE-S exam has 230 questions and is completed in 23 hours. Our timed practice mirrors that length and pacing, so exam day feels familiar.
1,000+ questions across all 54 PE-S exam domains, mixing scenario-style multiple choice with true/false drills, each with a plain-language explanation.
Yes - the bank is maintained against the current exam outline, and questions are revised when the exam changes.
No honest practice platform can guarantee a pass. What realistic practice does is show you - before exam day - exactly which domains are weak, and give you the repetitions to fix them. That is the difference between hoping you're ready and knowing where you stand.
Yes - 10 free questions with full explanations, no card and no signup required. Start on the home page.
The free sample shows you the question quality. Paid plans unlock the full 1,000+ question bank, exam-style practice modes, mistake review, and (on Fast Track and Pass Confidence) progress analytics that show your readiness by domain.
No. Every plan is a single one-time payment for a fixed access window. Nothing renews, and no card details are stored for future charges.
Match it to your exam date: Final Review (2 days) for an exam in the next day or two, Fast Track (7 days) for an exam this week, Pass Confidence (6 weeks) for a structured run-up. See plans and pricing.
For most countries, the price you see is exactly what you pay - tax is already included. Where local law requires it to be added separately, it's shown clearly at checkout before you pay, so there are never any surprise fees.
Access is instant after payment and runs for your plan's full window from that moment. When the window ends, your local progress stays on your device - you can buy another window any time and pick up where you left off.
Yes - the whole platform is built mobile-first: practice, mistake review, and analytics all work on any phone, tablet, or laptop with a browser. Nothing to install.
Every answer feeds your per-domain accuracy, readiness score, and weak-area list. Instead of re-reading everything, you drill the domains that are actually costing you points - that's what moves a score in days, not months.
Make sure you're signed in with the same email you used at checkout - access activates within a minute of payment. If it still doesn't appear, email support@boardmentor.study and it will be sorted out.
