About this eBook

The powerful conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Testing trilogy. In a scarred and brutal future, the United Commonwealth teeters on the brink of all-out civil war. The rebel resistance plots against a government that rules with cruelty and cunning. Gifted student and Testing survivor Cia Vale vows to fight.

She wants to put an end to the Testing, but she can't do it alone.

This is the chance to lead that Cia has trained for—but who will follow? Plunging through layers of danger and deception, Cia must risk the lives of those she loves—and gamble on the loyalty of her lethal classmates.

Who can Cia trust?

The stakes are higher than ever—lives of promise cut short or fulfilled; a future ruled by fear or hope--in the electrifying conclusion to Joelle Charbonneau's epic Testing trilogy. Ready or not…it’s Graduation Day.

The final test is the deadliest.

Ratings and reviews

I've been waiting to read this book for six months and loved it as soon as I started. On the contrary to what some wrote, I didn't find it boring at all. In fact, I read the book in one day because I couldn't put it down! The ending is why the book received four stars. The part with Dr. Barnes was great and shocked me but I didn't like the part with President Collindar. For three books the suspense is built up and Cia has such a craving for justice to be served and yet I feel it isn't in the last few pages.

Great conclusion. Kept me on the edge if seat for sure. Kinda thought the ending could have been better or at least less heart breaking on Cia's part. But the ending seemed like a cliff hanger to me at first. Now I'm satisfied with it tho. I miss Stacie tho.

Really beautiful because is more than a page turner. I wish that Cia wasn't selected by the President to kill, but that's a way to explain Cia has changed since the first day in Tosu City. The end was almost like I felt another book of this series could be made. I wish it could.
