How the PDF matches the real PTCE exam

The real PTCE has 90 questions (80 scored, 10 unscored) across 4 content domains — you need a scaled score of 1400/1600 to pass. Our 50-question PDF uses the same domain proportions, so you're practicing exactly what you'll face.

Why is this free?

Most PTCB prep sites charge $20–$40 for a practice test PDF. We think that's backwards — the people who need this most are people about to start a new career, not people with extra money to spend.

CertPrepAcademy makes money through Google ads and Amazon affiliate links on study materials. That pays the bills without charging you anything.
