FAQ
Exam simulator FAQ
How is the simulator different from the mock exams?
The mixed practice uses a fixed set. The simulator draws 50 questions from our 168-question bank and can change their order. Questions may repeat; when the counts are equal, every attempt uses the same questions. Answers are hidden until submission.
Are these the real Alberta Security Guard (ABST) test questions?
No. These questions and any accompanying texts are original learning material. Official resources describe the assessment; they do not provide these answers. This site is independent of Government of Alberta — Security Programs.
Is the simulator timed?
No. Our official sources for this test do not give a time limit, so the simulator is untimed. A clock shows how long you have taken, and your time appears with your result.
How is the simulation marked?
Independent learning exercise using original questions. Set length and topic balance are site choices; the displayed target is an internal reference, not an official result or a prediction of success. After you submit, you see your score by section and by topic, then every question with your answer, the right answer and an explanation.
Can I go back and change my answers?
Yes. Until you submit, you can move between questions, change any answer and flag questions to check again. The question map shows which ones are answered, flagged or still empty. The official test may work differently, so check with the official test provider (Government of Alberta — Security Programs).
