You can use the CEPE as a self-study resource, to practice for the Red Seal Exam, or simulate the exam as many times as you want. Test questions are selected randomly each time you use the tool. Plus, your practice exam report will show the correct answers, highlight any relevant code requirements, and direct you to additional resources to help you improve.
