Does Multiple Choice Have You Spooked?

Do you get stressed about writing exams? Do you tend to cram the night before an important test? Have you had to rewrite an exam more than once?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions or similar questions, this article is for you!

Even if you aren’t writing your C of Q tomorrow, it’s never too early to prepare. The C of Q exam is made up of 90-150 multiple choice questions (depending on the trade) and you are required to get 70% or higher to pass and complete your apprenticeship.

Multiple choice exams can be challenging to most learners as they are structured to only have one truly right answer. Our team has gathered resources related to multiple choice exams, including exam practice questions:
