Truck and Transport Mechanic 310 T Red-Seal Exam Prep
Simplified exam questions and only correct answers
"Red Seal exams are written exclusively in a multiple choice format. There are no trick questions. Each question has four possible choices. The three incorrect answers are called ‘distracters’ because they are intended to look believable and distract you from the correct answer if you don’t know your trade adequately. You will need to read the question carefully as a single word can change the meaning of the answer." red-seal.ca
This course is the most comprehensive collection of possible red-seal truck and transport mechanic exam test questions simplified to speed up study time and with only correct answers to eliminate studying incorrect answers or as red-seal.ca calls them 'distracters'.
The Red Seal exam is based on the National Occupational Analysis for the trade. The analysis describes the skills and knowledge required to perform the duties of the trade. Each National Occupational Analysis consists of blocks (main subject areas), each block is divided into tasks, and each task is divided into sub-tasks. Not all areas are tested on the Red Seal examination as the analysis identifies all tasks performed in the trade.
To prepare for the Red Seal :
Titles of blocks | Percentage (%) of questions on exam* |
---|---|
A - Occupational Skills | 5 |
B - Engine and Supporting Systems | 18 |
C - Air Systems and Brakes | 16 |
D - Electrical and Electronic Systems | 17 |
E - Drive Train | 11 |
F - Steering, Chassis/Frames, Suspension, Wheels, Hubs and Tires | 14 |
G - Cab | 4 |
H - Trailers | 4 |
I - Climate Control | 6 |
J - Hydraulic Systems | 5 |

Study notes
I like to think of this course as the cliffs notes of the Truck and Transport or Truck and Coach technician mechanics course. These questions have been gathered from multiple sources including a college test prep course and from fellow colleagues who have taken the 310 T exam several times and failed to get the 70% passing grade. I developed this course to help mechanics pass the exam with a superior grade in order to receive inter-provincial red seal certification and get paid the money they deserve in this trade. There are multiple cfq 310 T exams, so all the known exam questions are included and simplified without any numbering and only the correct answers in bold. There is approximately 150 questions per section/lecture. I have also Included study guides for information directly related to the new exams as well as study tips. Also included is many other study questions and answers and much more. Itis in an easy to read mobile friendly format to make studying possible at any time or place.
How to book your exam
In Ontario Call (647)847-3000 to pay the $150 exam fee + HST = $169.50

What to expect on your on the day of your exam
Arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled time but all your belongings in a locker, shut off your phone, take your photo id and take the locker key. Wait 15 mins you will check into a room between the test room one at a time, show your id and give your locker number and then a seat will be assigned to you. On your desk will be a clip holding together the exam booklet, the diagram booklet, a scrap paper and the bubble sheet for answers. On the desk there is two pencils, a calculator, and an eraser. You can bring a water bottle with no label and place on the floor, and you can use the washroom in the check in room area by raising your hand. Take out the bubble answer sheet and fill in your name, address, birthdate, and social insurance number using the bubble format for each letter and number. The exam will be timed for 4 hours and starts when the instructor says go. At half time and third quarter and half hour before time ends you will be warned. You can hand in your exam when finished and leave. Exam results are available 10-15 business days after taking the exam or sometimes sooner by setting up an account and logging in to skilledtradesontario.ca or by calling 1-855-299-0028. Good luck! There is 4 multiple choice answers and usually the wording can be tricky causing you to read the questions over and over. Remember to always pick the most correct answer, and safety related answers always trump!
