FAQ
About the ASE diagnostic quiz
- Which ASE test should I take first?
- Most working technicians start with A1 (Engine Repair), A4 (Steering & Suspension), or A5 (Brakes) — the highest-volume tests in a general repair bay. Apprentices and lube techs usually start with G1 (Maintenance & Light Repair). Our diagnostic weighs your role, experience, and daily work to pick the fastest path.
- Is this really free?
- Yes. No signup, no email, no credit card. You get your recommendation instantly. Study material for the actual test is available on our paid plans.
- How many ASE certifications exist?
- 24 tests across five series: Automobile (A1–A9), Medium/Heavy Truck (T1–T8), Collision Repair (B2–B6), Service Consultant (C1), and Maintenance & Light Repair (G1), plus L1 Advanced Engine Performance Specialist.
- How long does ASE prep take?
- Most techs pass with 4–6 weeks of consistent study — about 20–30 minutes a day using spaced-repetition flashcards and practice questions. Techs with 2+ years of hands-on experience often pass faster.
