Questions

Straight answers

Is TradeExamPractice affiliated with the regulators?

No. It is an independent site owned by Nick Hesson. It is not affiliated with ABSA, TSSA, Technical Safety BC, SOPEEC, Red Seal, Skilled Trades Ontario, or SkilledTradesBC.

Which practice apps do you link to?

Only Nick Hesson’s. SteamTicket is a separate paid app for SOPEEC power engineering from 4th Class through 1st Class and for Red Seal 313A. SkiLiftQuiz, for the Ontario TSSA ski lift mechanic exam, is in private testing and has no public download. Exams without an app have a waitlist.

Are the sample questions real exam questions?

No. Guides that have a sample quiz use 10 original questions written for this site. They are pending review by a qualified person. They are not past papers and they do not quote CSA standards. The newer Red Seal and gas guides do not have practice questions yet.
