# Run a mock inspection (/docs/training/mock-inspection)

Practice managers and owners run this as a practice run before an inspection.

## Steps [#steps]

1. Open **Mock inspection**.
2. Press **Start a mock inspection**.
3. Read the question. Press **Details** to see guidance and the records linked to it.
4. Choose **Confident**, **Partly** or **Not ready**. The next question opens by itself.
5. Carry on until you reach **Finish the mock inspection**.
6. Press **Finish and see the result**.
7. Read the result. Press **See every question** for the strengths and gaps, or **Print** for a paper copy.

The percentage is your own self-assessment. Later, you can find it again on the **Mock inspection** page by pressing **See the result**.

## If something goes wrong [#if-something-goes-wrong]

- **You need to stop.** Your answers save as you go. Come back and press the **Continue** button, which shows how far you got.
- **Finish and see the result is greyed out.** Press the line that says how many more questions to answer.
- **You chose Confident but the result is lower.** Confident only earns full marks when a record from the matching check is linked to the question. Without one it counts the same as **Partly** and goes on your action plan.
- **New items are on the Action plan.** Anything without a linked record, or marked **Partly** or **Not ready**, is added. Each is owned by the person who finished the mock and due in 30 days. You can change them on the **Action plan**.
- **You can't start one.** Only managers and owners can, so ask your practice manager.
