I personally did not find this site helpful. The content is very unorganized. The PSB HOAE is honestly overrated considering they take your marks from high school and compare them with this test.
Thanks for the feedback – we do get compliments saying the site IS well organized – If you have any suggestions on how to organize the site I would be happy to consider.
I don’t understand how this isn’t organized? It seems easy to navigate to me! I just wanted to get a feel of what kind of questions may be on the test, and you answered my questions on this page thoroughly!
Thank you Brian!
One of the best practice test questions you ant to study from!! I have been looking or good site but didn’t find anything better than this. I highly recommend it and it is very organized!! Thnk you so much for the great help!!!!!!!
this site is very helpful but it would be amazing if you guys just made it into word documents or pdf’s so users can print it for extra practice. I tried copy pasting the questions but it messed up the format and was very frustrating.
Thanks for the suggest – I will consider
This is an fabulous resource! Thank you!
Hello – PSB HOAE practice questions are here – https://www.test-preparation.ca/psb/psb_practice/
I found this practice exam a bit frustrating… not very helpful as this exam determines if I will get into my program and I feel far from prepared.
These are the FREE PSB HOAE questions so there are only a selection – we also offer a complete study guide with 100’s of practice questions tutorials, and all that – https://www.test-preparation.ca/psb/psb_studyguide/
I already have a TEAS study guide book. I’m contemplating on purchasing the practice questions, but not sure if it’s any better than what I already have.
There is quite a bit of overlap between the two tests so probably not a lot of extra practice. Also the study guide and the practice questions are not meant to be purchased together – they are separate products and again a lot of overap
