How we write our questions

What we do, what we do not do, and why you still need the official material.

The short version

Every question on TradeExamPro is original. It is written from public sources, carries the reference it rests on, and its answer is checked a second time, independently, against that reference. Questions that do not hold up are fixed or removed.

How a question is made

1. Written from public sources. Questions are written fresh for this site from public material such as regulations and published exam outlines.
2. A reference on every question. Each question names the regulation, code section or standard its answer rests on, so you can look it up yourself.
3. Format checks. Every question is checked for missing parts, repeated answer choices, a missing reference or an answer key that does not fit. Questions that fail are not published.
4. Calculations recomputed. For calculation questions, the answer is worked out again from the numbers in the question instead of trusting the first result.
5. A second, independent check. Each answer is checked a second time, independently, against the reference the question cites. Doubtful questions are fixed or removed.
6. Translations. Questions offered in other languages are checked a second time against the English. The answer key, the numbers and the reference always come from the English version.
7. Your reports. Reports sent with “Report this question” are read and acted on: questions found to be wrong are corrected or removed. See Corrections.

What we do not do

• We do not use real exam questions. Nothing here is copied or recalled from an actual exam.
• We do not copy the text of code books or standards. A question points to the section; you need your own copy to read it.
• We do not publish pass rates or testimonials, and we do not promise that you will pass.

Why you still need the official material

These checks do not catch everything. Some questions here will be wrong, out of date, or not right for the place where you take your exam.

Codes and regulations change, and states, provinces and countries adopt different editions and amendments. Your exam is set by the organisation that runs it, and its current candidate bulletin says what is covered, how many questions there are and what score you need. Use this site to practise, and treat your current code book and the official bulletin as the authority.

Do not rely on this site for how to do work safely or legally.
