How SteamTicket fits with your textbook

SteamTicket is practice questions, timed mock exams and explanations for testing yourself. Read a unit in the free NAIT, SAIT and BCIT power engineering textbooks (CC BY-NC-SA), then test yourself on it here. 1st Class Part B has 616 questions across 4 units, listed below, and each practice set pulls 20 at a time, starting with ones you haven't seen. Paper 1B4 is a timed mock: 100 questions in 3 hours, marked against the 65% pass mark. Practice on 1B1, 1B2, and 1B3 is multiple choice on the syllabus and does not match the long-answer paper.

This course is designed to help you prepare with confidence.

  • Original questions written to the public syllabus for this course.
  • Multiple-choice questions on the Part B syllabus. The 1B4 mock is a timed exam. Practice on 1B1, 1B2, and 1B3 does not match the long-answer format.
  • A worked explanation for every question: not just an answer key.
  • Track progress and focus on weak areas with the SMART Quiz.
  • Study on any device: keeps working if your signal drops mid-session (needs a connection to open a course).
  • One-time purchase, lifetime access, 30-day refund.

How the SMART Quiz works

Unlike random flashcard apps, SteamTicket’s adaptive engine builds every session from your own results. Units where you score below 70% get pushed to the front of every session until your score climbs into the green. Questions you missed come back at increasing intervals, and you can see your running score for every unit before mock exam day.

Weak units first

Units where you score below 70% get pushed to the front of every session until your score climbs into the green.

Spaced re-asks

Questions you missed come back at increasing intervals. Questions you know well fade into light review so you stay efficient.

Per-unit progress

See your running score for every unit across all your sessions. Know exactly where you stand before mock exam day.

Keeps going if signal drops

Study on any device. Once a course is open it keeps working if your signal drops mid-session; you need a connection to open a course. Your progress syncs when you reconnect.

Unlimited mock exams

Paper 1B4 is a timed 100-question, 3-hour mock. Practice on 1B1, 1B2, and 1B3 covers those papers’ syllabi and does not match the long-answer format (7 questions, answer 5, 3.5 hours).

A refund, plus support if you don’t pass

30-day money-back guarantee. And if you don’t pass, we keep your access open at no charge and help you target what to review.

What is SteamTicket, and what isn't it?

What SteamTicket is, and what it isn't

SteamTicket is:

  • Practice questions for your power engineering exam, organised by unit, with an explanation for each answer.
  • Paper 1B4 is a timed mock: 100 questions in 3 hours, marked against the 65% pass mark. Practice on papers A1 to A4 and B1 to B3 is multiple choice on the syllabus and does not match the long-answer paper.
  • A way to test yourself. SMART Quiz brings back the questions you miss, and your progress shows which units need more work.
  • Made by Jax & Noah Studios Inc., an independent Canadian company.

SteamTicket isn’t:

  • A textbook or a course. You learn the material from the free NAIT, SAIT and BCIT power engineering textbooks (CC BY-NC-SA) or your course materials. The free textbooks for every class are listed here. See the free textbooks
  • Affiliated with or endorsed by SOPEEC, ABSA, TSSA, Technical Safety BC or any regulator, or by NAIT, SAIT or BCIT.
  • A copy of the real exam. Every question is original, written to the public syllabus.
  • A promise of a pass. It shows you where you stand, so you can focus your study.
What’s included?
Every question in the course (616 for 1st Class Part B, organised into 4 units), an explanation with each one, a timed mock for paper 1B4 (100 questions, 3 hours, 65% pass mark). Practice on 1B1, 1B2, and 1B3 is multiple choice on the syllabus and does not match the long-answer paper. SMART Quiz, which brings back the questions you miss, and unit-by-unit progress tracking.
Are these real exam questions?
No, and that’s deliberate. Real exam questions are secured and copyrighted. Every SteamTicket question is original, written objective-by-objective to the public syllabus for this course, written to the same public objectives as the exam, without copying any secured exam or textbook.
How long do I have access?
For as long as SteamTicket exists. One payment, lifetime access, including every future update to this course’s question bank. No subscription, no renewal.
What if I don’t pass?
Send us your result: we’ll keep your access open at no extra charge and help you target the units that tripped you up, for as long as we offer your course. There’s never a meter running on a second attempt.
Can I get a refund?
Yes: 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Web purchases through Paddle: email support@steamticket.ca within 30 days of purchase. iOS purchases: refunds go through Apple. Google Play is not a purchase channel.
