The practice exam is not an actual NCTRC Certification Exam, and the questions used are not identical to items that may appear on the NCTRC Certification Exam.

Success in answering the questions on the practice exam is not a predictor of performance on an actual NCTRC Certification Exam, and NCTRC disclaims any warranty or guarantee related to performance on any NCTRC Certification Exam.
