How is the sample scored, and how does it compare to a mock exam?
Each answer is marked immediately and explained. The sample has no timer and no pass mark, and nothing is saved. Here is how PSW Leap's practice settings step up from this page to a full mock exam:
| Mode | Questions | Timer | Feedback | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sample quiz (this page) | 10 | none | after every answer | no |
| Learn Mode (free, no signup) | 50 free, then the full 2,500 bank on the paid plan | none | after every answer | Yes, on this device. Create an account to sync. |
| Mock exam (paid plan) | 200 | 2.5 hours | after submission only; pass mark 65% | yes |
These are PSW Leap's own practice settings. NACC's student FAQ (checked September 8, 2026) lists a 2.5-hour final exam, and NACC's student exam-system walkthrough (January 2025 edition, checked September 8, 2026) shows 200 questions in 150 minutes, written at the college campus with a college proctor. Neither source publishes a pass mark, so confirm that and your sitting details with your college. The full settings are in the mock exam guide.
Who is this free PSW practice test for?
This sample is for Canadian Personal Support Worker students — especially Ontario college students preparing for the NACC certification exam. If you want to know what NACC-style multiple-choice questions feel like before spending anything, this is the fastest way to find out: ten questions, an explanation after every answer, and no account required.
How is this different from Learn Mode?
This page is a quick, throwaway sample — nothing is saved. Learn Mode is the structured study path: 50 free questions across all 12 study modules, guided lessons, and progress tracking, with the full 2,500 question bank, every module, and timed mock exams available on the one-time paid plan. Start here to judge the question quality; move to Learn Mode when you want your progress to count.
Is this an official NACC practice test?
No. PSW Leap is an independent exam-prep platform. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) or any provincial regulator, and these are original practice questions written against publicly available PSW curriculum standards — not leaked or recycled exam content. Read how our questions are written and reviewed.
