FAQ
Exam simulator FAQ
How is the simulator different from the mock exams?
The mixed practice uses a fixed set. The simulator draws 80 questions from our 144-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 TICO Certification 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 Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO).
What happens when the time runs out?
You get 150 minutes. A warning appears with 5 minutes and with 1 minute left, and screen readers announce it. At zero, the test is submitted and marked automatically, and unanswered questions count as wrong. The official time limit is not published; the timer is a practice setting.
How is the simulation marked?
Original public-law revision, with editorial teaching-topic balance and difficulty. The 80 questions, 150 minutes and 56/80 reference match the published format, but a result here is not official certification, calibrated readiness or a pass prediction. 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 (Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO)).
