1) See how well you rank.
There are many national and customizable comparisons (school level, location, text book etc.,) for you to get a good feel for how you compare with your peers.
2) See exactly what you need to study to improve.
The exam provides detailed analysis that shows you exactly where you should devote your study to see the greatest improvements.
3) Rid yourself of test anxiety.
The dynamic generation of the exam enables you to take the exam as often as you wish. This allows you to get credit for your best performance.
4) It may be used as an entrance exam.
The exam was very well received at the 2003 Society of Biblical Literature annual conference and has been scheduled for a presentation at the 2005 conference. Now, more and more seminaries are using the exam to help determine where a student should be placed when entering the school.
5) It is text independent.
The exam is not married to one textbook. It acquires questions generated by instructors using many different textbooks and uses grammatical terms that are widely accepted. However, you do have the option to rank yourself among those who use the same textbook.
