How the test works

  • 25 questions for a quick quiz.
  • 50 questions for a practice exam. Most people use this one.
  • 140 questions for a full-length simulation, the whole bank in one sitting.

The 25 and the 50 are a random draw from the full 140; the simulation is the whole bank in a shuffled order. There is no signup and nothing to pay. Your progress saves on the device you are using; a free account keeps scores across devices.

What you get when you finish

Every question comes with a short explanation of why the right answer is right, not just which letter it was. Math questions show the work. Your score breaks down by topic so you can see where the points actually went. Click any topic and the review filters to just those questions. You can also download the whole bank as a printable PDF with a full answer key if you would rather work on paper.

A few honest notes

These are original practice questions written from public frameworks. They are not real exam questions, and this site is not affiliated with WPI or with any state certification program. Your state sets the actual requirements, including the number of questions and the pass line, and some states write their own exam rather than using the WPI version.
