How the ASE practice tests work
There is one practice test for each of the nine ASE automobile tests, A1 to A9. Pick one above: its questions are drawn at random from its own bank, with the scored length and time of the real test, from 40 to 50 questions in 60 to 90 minutes. Each question has four answers and one is right.
You can move between questions and change your answers until time runs out. Then you see your score and every question you missed, with its explanation. ASE publishes no fixed passing score; these practice tests count about seven right answers in ten as a pass.
