Why do you have only one test per subject?

We have unlimited customized tests for each subject, generated specifically for each student, using artificial intelligence. 

What you see in the "Practice Tests" section of the application, are test templates, that generate a new test paper, every time you attempt that test.  So for example, if you have a test called "Biology", then every time you click on that test, a new test paper will be generated specifically for you, based on your studying patterns and previous attempts of tests.
