Why the diagnostic spans all ten modules

Construction experience can leave you confident in familiar tasks but less practised in other parts of the syllabus. Sampling all ten modules gives you a starting point for study. Ten questions are a first check, not a prediction of your exam result.

What Premium adds

Premium includes all ten modules, spaced-repetition practice, ongoing readiness tracking, offline access, unlimited full timed mock exams at the real 100-question / 2 hours / 75% format, the complete searchable question library, and the Field Guide of thresholds and formulas. $19 per month, $129 per year, or $199 once for lifetime access.

How to start
