Features of STE:

Simulation: STE closely mimics your exam environment, so that when you are giving your exams, you feel entirely comfortable and confident. Various certifications have differing formats for their exams. Depending on which course you are studying, STE adapts itself and presents questions and answers to simulate your exam.

Explanations:  The biggest asset of STE is the wealth of questions and answers it contains. Each question and its answers are explained in great detail to maximize your understanding of the subject. In some situations, we also provide audio and flash animations to make understanding easier.

Customization: You can change the look and feel of STE from the preferences section. You can also change a number of other things such as question format, exam scores and many other parameters depending on your chosen certification.

This software allows you to practice your exam with only the topics you choose. This is useful if you want to strengthen your knowledge in a particular topic. Choosing the random exam option helps you to prepare for surprises in the certification exam.

Progress Tracking: STE records your score, each time you give an exam. As you give more and more exams, you can track your progress through the Score report, which neatly lists your scores graphically.

Case-Study Exams: This is an advanced feature of STE, which was actually brought out by Microsoft. It presents a real world case, which you have to solve graphically, using your mouse. Because it is in the form of a visual diagram, it is easy to use and is a clever way of solving problems faced by the companies in the real world.
