How to open a .vce file on Linux

Nothing in a standard Linux desktop opens a .vce file. A browser does, without a compatibility layer or a virtual machine.

What to do

  1. Open freevce.org in Firefox, Chrome or any modern browser.
  2. Import your .vce file.
  3. Sit the exam in the browser.

FreeVCE opens .vce files in a browser tab. There is nothing to install and no account to create. Exams, answers and progress are stored in the browser's own database on your device, and once the page has loaded once it works with no network at all. It contains no exam content — you open files you already have.

There is no package to install and nothing distribution-specific, so it is identical on Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch or anything else, and there is no Windows binary in the picture at any point.

What leaves your device: exam files you import are uploaded to the project's collection, which is how support for more format versions gets added. That is stated on the import screen before you import anything. Your answers, scores and progress stay in your browser and are never sent anywhere.

Which versions of the format work?

FreeVCE reads version 31 .vce files, the version every exam file this project has verified against. Later versions exist and are not supported yet. A file that cannot be read says so on import.

What about converting to PDF instead?

A PDF gives you the questions as a document to read. It cannot present them one at a time, score you, or show you which ones you got wrong, which is the part of a practice exam that does the work.
