The tests may be free, but you need somebody to look at them. (Apparently, at least some of them were designed by NNES.)
Here are examples of two of my "wrong" answers on one of the *Advanced* tests.
I have never heard of a code of practice before, but we would in this country (USA) say (as I did) code of behavior.
The person would not be a subscriber until after he had signed up for the plan, and if he is already a subscriber why would he call to sign up for the plan? My answer is the right one.

Clark. I'm not sure why you are trying to promote your site on our forum - we are one of your partner sites and english-test.net is our only partner site (see https://www.usingenglish.com/partner-sites.html ). If you would like to take part in our forum then we would be most pleased, otherwise, please don't post this sort of thing again.

Spell that code of behavior and you might get more responses. :wink:
I think you are right. I only took three of the tests (one in each category), but it does seem to be skewed towards BE. Thus, responses based on AE might be marked "wrong".
I think the "subscribers" answer is totally wrong. What say you?
I agree with you that it is a little confusing; why would a subscriber sign up again?!!
