Maestro DocsMock tests overview
What mock tests are, the kinds of questions and modes, and how access works.
A mock test is a practice test modelled on a company's public hiring pattern. Mock tests are for practice. They are not official tests, and Maestro is not affiliated with the companies they model.
What a test can contain
A test is written, interview, or mixed. The questions can be:
| Question type | How you answer |
|---|---|
| Multiple choice (single or multiple answers) | Pick one or more options. |
| Numerical | Type a number. Values can differ between attempts. |
| Pseudocode and coding | Write code in the built-in editor and run it. |
| Descriptive | Write a longer answer. A person marks it. |
| Circuit | Build or fix a circuit in the lab. |
| Interview prompt | Answer out loud in a spoken AI interview. |
Some tests let you pick N of M electives. You choose before you start.
Timing
Every test has a total duration. Some tests also have sectional timing: each section has its own timer and moves on by itself when time is up ("Time's up — moving to the next section."). If going back is switched off, you can't return to a section you've submitted. Some tests use negative marking or a sectional cut-off. The test page tells you before you begin.
Modes
When you start, you choose a mode:
- Full mock: timed, with the rules in Rules and integrity.
- Practice: no timer, and you see the correct answer and explanation as you go.
- Sectional practice: practise just one section.
If your college assigned the test, it may allow only some of these modes.
Who can take a test, and how
You may have access through your plan (the test says "Uses your" followed by your plan's name), a Free monthly test, a one-time purchase (the dialog says "Purchase required"), or because your college included it.
A test can be public (shown in Explore), unlisted (only reachable by link) or private (only for people who were given access).
Tests can have limited attempts. You'll see "N of M attempts left", "No attempts left", or unlimited retakes.
