What is Test Bank?

The test bank is a guide for testing and exams. It contains a lot of questions with their correct answers related to an academic textbook. Test banks usually contain true/false questions, multiple choice questions, and essay questions. Authors provide those guides to help instructors and teachers create their exams and tests easily and fast. We recommend all students to download the sample attached to each test bank page and review them deeply..

What is Solutions Manual?

The solutions manual is a guide where you can find all the correct answers (odd and even) to your textbooks’ questions, cases, and problems.

Can I get a sample before buying a Test Bank or Solutions Manual?
