Every question comes from one of six buckets — and they're not weighted evenly. This map should shape how you study.
Almost half your marks are in what you do with your hands every day. Our course spends the most time exactly there.
Knowledge & recall — straight facts.
Application — a job-site scenario: here are the readings, what do you do?
Critical thinking — two answers look right; pick the best one.
Memorizing facts alone will not get you to 70%. You have to understand why — which is why every lesson ends in a worked scenario, not just a definition.
Spend your hours where the exam does — install and service first.
Learn the mechanism so you can reason through scenario questions.
No penalty for a wrong answer vs. a blank — eliminate and make your best call.
