Frequently asked questions
- How long should a REx-PN study plan be?
- Many learners use 6 to 10 weeks, but the right length depends on baseline diagnostic performance, available time, and repeated miss patterns.
- Should CAT practice start immediately?
- Use CAT practice after some targeted remediation so the session measures readiness instead of avoidable content gaps.
