Free 90-question PTCE simulation

Updated

The full exam at real pacing — 90 questions weighted 32/17/21/20 to the 2026 blueprint, 1h50m on the clock, no feedback until the end. Your email is asked after you finish, to deliver the report — never to start.

Common questions

How many questions is the PTCE, and how many count?

90 multiple-choice questions, of which 80 are scored — 10 are unidentified pretest items. This simulation mirrors that exactly: 10 of its 90 questions are fixed unscored items you can’t identify mid-exam, and your report scores the 80 that count.

How long is the PTCE?

1h50mof exam time inside a two-hour Pearson VUE appointment. The simulation runs the same countdown, because pacing — not knowledge — is what surprises most first-timers. A pause control exists for accessibility; the real exam doesn’t pause.

What score do I need to pass?

1,400 on PTCB’s scaled range of 1,0001,600. Your report estimates your scaled score from the 80scored items and says plainly whether you’re likely ready, close, or not yet.

How realistic is a practice score versus the real exam?

Our estimate is calibrated to the published pass data and the official blueprint, and we publish the method — including its uncertainty — on the methodology page. Treat it as a flight check, not a guarantee: it tells you which domain would sink you and how close the line is.

Is there a free printable PDF version?

A printable 90-question form is planned as its own download page shortly after launch. On-screen, the full simulation is free right here — and unlike a PDF, it times your pacing and scores your domains automatically.
