What's New in Xengine App 2

A new look and new ways to focus your study time.

Practice Builder

Build a session from the questions you missed, have not seen yet, bookmarked or added a note to.

Confidence Tap

Mark each answer Sure, Not sure or Guessed, so a lucky guess is not counted as knowledge.

Readiness Estimate

See an estimate of how ready you are, with your weakest topics. It is based on your own practice, not a prediction of the real exam.

Tags & Search

Tag questions with your own topics and search questions, explanations, notes and tags in a course.

Command Palette

Press Ctrl+K to jump to any screen or run any command without leaving the keyboard.

Bring Your Xengine 1.x Data

Xengine 2 installs beside Xengine 1.x and can copy your courses and history on first start. Your original files stay as they are.

How It Works?

Get started with the Xengine App in three steps.

Reviewing a missed question with the correct answer and the explanation
  • Install Xengine App 2 on your Windows PC. No administrator rights needed.
  • Import your .EXM course file: choose it or drag and drop it onto the Courses screen.
  • Study or simulate. Learn with answers and explanations, or take a timed exam and review what you missed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Xengine work?

Install Xengine, add your .EXM course file, then choose Study mode, Practice or Exam simulation. See How It Works above.

Which platforms are supported?

Xengine App 2 runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). macOS and Linux versions are not currently available.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Installing does not need administrator rights. You need an Internet connection to activate a course and for the periodic licence check.

Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is the installer safe?

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Do I need constant access to wi-fi?

No, you can run the Xengine App offline. You need the Internet to activate a course. The app then re-checks your licence by itself about once a month, so connect at least that often.

How do I add a new exam course?

On the Courses screen choose “Add course” (Ctrl+O), or drag and drop your .EXM file onto the window.

Will my existing .EXM courses work in Xengine App 2?

Yes. Courses you already have open as they are: add the file, or let Xengine 2 copy your Xengine 1.x courses and history on first start. Xengine 2 never changes the questions or answers in your course files, and it installs beside Xengine 1.x.

I have found an issue with a question or answer. How can I share it with you?

We really appreciate that. While studying, use “Report the question” (Alt+R). It prepares an email to our support team with the course and question, or you can write to support@xengine.app.

I see there is an update available for one of my exam courses. How can I get that update?

Simply login to your account where you got the .EXM file from and download the new version. Open Xengine and add it again. It replaces the older version of that course, and your notes and results history are kept.

How long is a course licence valid, and how do I renew it?

Each course licence is valid for one year. To renew, visit virtulearner.com. When a licence expires the course falls back to the free demo (10 questions), and your notes, tags and results stay on your PC.

What happens if the Internet is down during license activation?

This will cause the activation to fail. You can try the activation again when you are connected to the Internet.

What happens if my computer crashes and I need to reinstall Xengine?

Activation is per computer, not per installation, so reinstalling or updating Xengine on the same computer does not use another activation. One order can be activated on 3 computers. If you replace a computer or reinstall Windows and run out of activations, email support@xengine.app and we will reset them.

Is there a web version of the Xengine Test Engine application available online?

Not at the moment. Xengine App 2 is a Windows desktop app.

How can I get updates for the Xengine software?

Xengine App 2 does not update itself yet. Download the latest installer from this page and run it over your current installation. Your data and licences are kept.
