Our Practice CyberExam system is designed to help determine if you are fully prepared to attempt the actual CASA Exams for each subject.

Our unique and specialised Random Questions Generators (RGQs) give you unlimited access to over 60 different mathematical style questions. Each RQG creates a brand new, never seen before question covering an important calculation required to pass the subjectâs CASA Exam. After completing the calculation, you submit your answer and have the full workings presented so you can carefully check every part of your work.
There a millionâs of different question data combinations, so you never do the same calculation twice. With unlimited practice on new questions, you will become fully prepared for any calculation on the topic that CASA presents to you!
