UpperMark TestBank software has three main functions.

1. Practice Exams
   
   Create personalized practice exams based on any component of the CAIA curriculum (Topic, chapter, or Learning Objective). Create your Practice Exams using a myriad of options: select a specific number of questions, all questions, calculation questions, questions you keep getting wrong, new questions added to TestBank, and much more.
2. Full-Length Mock Exams
   
   Generate mock exams with questions weighted in accordance with CAIA guidelines. Even take an optional 30-minute break after the first session of the exam - just like the actual exam!
3. Test History
   
   Review your performance on past exams and the details of each exam. Use the Analyze Performance feature on your Mock Exams to identify your areas of strength and weakness.

Valuable features of TestBank include -

• Detailed explanations - for answers to each sample exam question.
• Step-by-step solutions - for problems involving calculations.
• Flag questions - to review later.
• Sample essays - print with guideline answers.
• Print exams - to take offline and later enter responses to have them scored.
• Save an exam - and finish it at a later time.

  Access to the Internet is required for a few seconds to update the software.
