Mock Exams vs Practice Mode — What's the Difference?

SMS Naija offers two distinct ways to prepare: Practice Mode and Mock Examination mode — and knowing when to use each makes your prep time more effective. Practice Mode is untimed, question-by-question, with explanations available as you go — ideal for learning a topic and understanding why an answer is correct, not just getting it right. Mock Examination mode simulates the real, timed exam experience — UTME-style, WAEC-style, and other configured formats — with a fixed time limit and no explanations until you finish. This is where you test whether you can perform under real exam conditions, not just whether you know the material. Both are simulations for practice purposes only — results from either mode aren't official examination outcomes. But used together, one to learn and one to test yourself, they build genuine exam readiness.
