if you haven’t already heard of  it, PXL designs has released Attest 1.5 which is a tool built in adobe AIR that provides mock tests for Flex 3. Unlike Attest 1.0 which was not free, this is a free version which provides 3 full length tests of 50 questions each and 5 mini tests of 25 questions each. It also shows section wise scores, provide livedocs links for that particular question.

One minor drawback  is that you must have internet connection as it loads tests and questions from the net everytime…this is also an advantage as you’ll get updated questions.

You can download Attest from here:

Even if you are not attempting the test, it’s fun to attempt to these tests just to check the level of your knowledge and how well are you aware of your flex basics….happy FLEXing ;)
