The real exam is 50 questions, 2.5 hours, open book, 70% to pass. This practice test draws from 136 questions across the same seven content areas, weighted the way the state weights them.
How the practice test works
Questions come one at a time. Pick an answer and you get instant feedback — right or wrong — plus the explanation, so you learn from every question instead of just scoring it. A running per-topic tally shows which of the seven content areas still need work.
Practice by content area
You can mix all 136 questions or filter to a single area. The exam is heavily weighted toward two areas, so that is where most of your time should go:
- Technical Knowledge — 27%: door types, torsion vs. extension springs, cable drums, and wind-load behavior.
- Installation Procedures — 24%: anchoring track and brackets, setting the counterbalance, and balance testing.
- Tools, Equipment & Materials — 15%: winding bars, lag screws, roller and hinge selection, coastal corrosion resistance.
- Repair & Maintenance — 13%, Regulations — 9%, Health & Safety — 7%, Electrical Work & Safety — 5%.
Aim to score 80%+ consistently on a mixed practice run before you book the real exam. The passing bar is 70%, so 80% in practice gives you a comfortable margin.
Why a practice test beats re-reading
Active recall — answering, then reading why — locks material in far better than re-reading an installation manual. Because the state exam is open book, you are really training two things at once: the knowledge itself, and the speed to find and confirm an answer under time pressure.
