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. 5th Class has 471 questions across 3 units, listed below, and each practice set pulls 20 at a time, starting with ones you haven't seen. When your units look strong, sit a full timed mock: 100 questions in 3 hours, marked against the 65% pass mark.

This course is designed to help you prepare with confidence.

  • Original questions written to the public syllabus for this course.
  • SOPEEC-style questions and full-length mock exams.
  • 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.

PracticeAnswer hundreds of exam-style practice questions.
Mock ExamsSimulate the real exam experience: timed, 100 questions.
Sit with ConfidenceWalk into your exam prepared, and if you don’t pass, your access stays open.

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

Timed mock exams with full review after every attempt. 100-question, 3-hour sittings on papers that use that official format.

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.

All 471 questions are mapped to the official 5th Class syllabus published by ABSA (AB-055).

471 questions across 3 units. Textbooks open on the BCIT Library repository site.

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.
  • Timed mock exams for the standard SOPEEC multiple-choice papers: 100 questions in 3 hours, marked against the 65% pass mark. 313A uses 125 questions in 4 hours, with a 70% pass mark. 1st Class 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 (471 for 5th Class, organised into 3 units), an explanation with each one, unlimited timed mock exams (100 questions, 3 hours, 65% pass mark), 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.

What you get, and what you don’t pay

Most power-engineering prep is a subscription that keeps billing until you remember to cancel. The 5th Class bank is one payment, then it’s yours.

SteamTicket 5th Class: $79 once

  • All 471 original exam-style questions
  • Worked explanation on every question, not just a key
  • Unlimited mock exams in the 100-question / 3-hour exam format
  • The adaptive SMART Quiz: weak units first
  • Any device; keeps working if your signal drops mid-session
  • Lifetime access, including future updates to this bank

A typical subscription app

  • Bills monthly: auto-renews until you cancel
  • Access stops the day you stop paying
  • Costs more the longer you study
  • No worked explanations on many budget tiers
  • Often locks mock exams behind a higher tier

Pay $79 once here, or keep paying every month elsewhere. Your call, but the meter never starts on this side.

A fair question: are these real exam questions? No, and that’s deliberate. Real exam questions are secured and copyrighted; reproducing them would be unethical and illegal.

5th Class questions, answered

Are these real 5th Class exam questions?
No, and that's deliberate. Real exam questions are secured and copyrighted; reproducing them would be unethical and illegal. Every SteamTicket question is original, written objective-by-objective to the public ABSA/SOPEEC 5th Class syllabus (AB-055), written to the same public objectives as the exam, without copying any secured exam or textbook.
Who is the 5th Class for?
It's the entry-level operator ticket: the usual starting point for people running the heating, refrigeration, and comfort plant in buildings, arenas, and recreation facilities. If you operate a low-pressure plant and want a recognised credential, the 5th Class is typically where you begin.
Where is the 5th Class offered?
5th Class certification exists in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. In other jurisdictions the 4th Class is the entry-level certificate. Always confirm with your provincial regulator before you register.
What is the 5th Class exam format?
A single paper: 100 multiple-choice questions, a 3-hour time limit, and 65% to pass. SteamTicket's mock exams use that format (100 questions, timed, scored by unit), but real exam questions are worded differently. Verify current details with your provincial regulator before exam day.
Is 5th Class easier than 4th Class?
It's narrower. The 5th Class covers low-pressure plant, human comfort, and basic science, safety, and regulation in one paper. The 4th Class goes deeper into mechanics, thermodynamics, boilers, and plant systems across two independent papers (4A and 4B). Many operators earn the 5th Class first and step up to 4th later.
Does my $79 expire?
No. Pay once, keep access for as long as SteamTicket exists, including future updates to the 5th Class bank. No subscription, no renewal, no second meter on a re-sit.
