Questions people ask
More answers in the NPPE FAQ.
What is NPPE Pro?
NPPE Pro is an online study platform for the National Professional Practice Examination (NPPE). It counts back from your exam date and plans your study in sessions of about 15 minutes: short lessons, adaptive practice questions, flashcards, 4 timed mock exams and a readiness score for each of the 6 exam domains.
Who is NPPE Pro for?
NPPE Pro is for P.Eng and P.Geo applicants, EITs and GITs in Canada who need to pass the NPPE as part of their licence application. It suits people studying around a full-time job, people writing the exam again after a fail, and internationally trained engineering graduates who are new to Canadian law and ethics.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can start NPPE Pro free without a credit card. The 14-day trial starts from your first finished lesson, so signing up early costs you nothing, and it opens a set of free topics, practice questions and a short mock exam preview.
How much does NPPE Pro cost?
NPPE Pro has three paid plans: Exam Only, Practice and Exam, and Full Prep. Each is one payment for a fixed period of access, and current prices in Canadian dollars are on the pricing page. Every plan starts with the free trial.
How much time do I need each day?
It depends on the weeks to your sitting. A session takes about 15 minutes: a few lesson cards and 10 questions. With eight weeks to go, most days need one or two sessions while you learn the topics; start earlier and one a day is often enough. The plan's pace check tells you which.
How is NPPE Pro different from a question bank?
A question bank gives you questions. NPPE Pro gives you a plan: it counts back from your exam date, teaches each topic in short lessons, brings back the questions you miss until you get them right twice in a row, and shows your readiness by domain so you know when you are ready to book.
What is the NPPE?
The National Professional Practice Examination (NPPE) is the law, ethics and professional practice exam that 14 Canadian engineering and geoscience regulators require before they grant a licence such as the P.Eng or P.Geo. It is a 2.5 hours, closed-book, multiple choice exam written online with a remote proctor.
What is the pass mark for the NPPE?
The pass mark is a scaled score of 65, which is not the same as 65 percent. Scores are scaled so that a pass means the same thing at every sitting, and results are reported only as pass or fail. Candidates who fail receive a report showing their performance by content area.
Is NPPE Pro affiliated with my regulator or the NPPE?
No. NPPE Pro is an independent study platform built by CertNova, the team behind CBA Pro and competencybasedassessment.ca. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by any engineering or geoscience regulator, or by the administrators of the NPPE.
Can I use NPPE Pro on my phone?
Yes. NPPE Pro runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, and your progress follows your account. Lessons and practice sessions are sized for a phone, so a session fits on a commute or a lunch break. There is nothing to install.
Your first session takes fifteen minutes.
Tell NPPE Pro your sitting and it builds the plan. The 14-day trial starts from your first finished lesson, and no card is needed.
