About the exam

What are the certification levels?
Beginner is 20 hands, Intermediate is 50, and Advanced is 100. The pass mark is 90 percent at every level (18/20, 45/50, 90/100). Longer exams leave less room for error and prove more consistency, which is what separates the levels.
What does the certificate prove?
That you can play 9/6 Jacks or Better at or very near optimal. Every hand is graded on whether your hold matches the mathematically best play, computed by an engine validated against all 2,598,960 five-card hands.
Is it graded on luck or on strategy?
Strategy only. You are graded on your hold decision, not on whether the draw hit. A perfect hold that loses still counts as correct.
Is it free and private?
Completely free, no signup. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. The certificate is a shareable achievement you generate yourself.
