Not every state uses the same exam, and the vendor on the door does not tell you which one you are sitting. Twenty-one states do not sit the NIC national paper. Ten of them sit PSI’s own National programme — California among them, and Tennessee, which sits that core with a state block on top. Nine write their own outright: Texas through TDLR, New York through the Department of State, Florida through DBPR, and Ohio, Indiana and Illinois through their own boards. Pennsylvania sits a Pearson VUE core. BTYGOAT builds each of those banks separately — domain by domain, from that board’s own published outline, with your state’s law as its own domain and its own flashcard deck. Check your state first, then buy the one you will actually sit.
Ten graduated tests per product, and no question repeated across them. A full rationale on every answer, and timed mode at your exam’s real pace — the question count of each test follows the real paper, not a round number.
Same company as NICPrep. The same people write and audit every question, against the same rules, on both sites.
