Your score is

The practice exam will help you become accustomed to the format of the actual test and provide insight into the types of questions that may be presented. It is crucial to understand that the air brake exam is tailored for operators of vehicles that have air brakes; therefore, if you do not belong to this group, you might need to take a different type of examination. The practice exam is available online and can be taken multiple times, allowing you to identify areas where you can improve. Achieving a score of at least 80% on the practice exam is essential before you attempt the real test. In conclusion, completing the Ontario air brake practice test is a crucial step toward obtaining your air brake endorsement and promoting safe driving habits.
