Mock FAQ Archives

How do you administer online mock tests?

Our proctors time and supervise mock tests over Google Meet. During the mock, the proctor presents a whiteboard showing the current section, its duration and its time. Proctors remind students when 5 minutes are remaining in each section, just like the real test.

Two days before the session, mock testers receive a testing invitation that contains the test, bubble sheet, test link, proctor’s name and email, and a troubleshooting guide. Students should print their testing materials before their session.

What should my student bring to the test?

Students are welcome to bring a water bottle and are advised to bring their own calculator if their test allows one. We provide snacks and sharpened pencils.

How can the score report help my student improve?

The detailed score report shows which questions a student got right and wrong. In most cases, our score reports also show the question type and difficulty. The report can also indicate where students ran out of time or were under time pressure. Our tutors use score reports to help them hone in on the topics and skills that will most help your student improve. Families are also welcome to arrange a free consultation with our client services team to discuss mock test results.

When do I receive my student’s results/score report?

Score reports are emailed to students and their tutors as PDF files three business days after the mock test date. Bespoke also offers rush scoring for a small additional charge, which enables students to receive their test results within 24 hours.

Do you administer mock tests to students who need extra time accommodations?

Absolutely! We have students who test with us and need 50% or even 100% extra time. You will indicate your student’s extra time accommodation when you register for a specific session. Students with extra time must sign up for 9:00 am or 10:00 am seatings. (Manhattan also allows 2:30 pm extended time testing).

When can my student take a mock test?

We offer mock testing every weekend and on some weekdays, including many school holidays. See upcoming test dates on our Mock Test Calendar or log in to your Bespoke Account for all available test dates.

Where do you get your mock tests?

We work hard to give our students the most realistic testing experience possible. Some of the exams we use are official, released versions obtained from the test makers, while others are exams we have designed ourselves to be highly representative of the test’s content and format.

Does Bespoke administer mock tests for every type of standardized test?

We can provide mock testers with almost every standardized test: SAT; ACT; Lower, Middle & Upper Level ISEE; Middle & Upper Level SSAT; and SHSAT. We do sometimes administer other types of tests upon request.

Bespoke does not currently offer PSAT mock tests. We suggest that students preparing for the PSAT take a full-length SAT instead for the most complete diagnostic profile possible.
