A PG Focus replacement for power engineering practice questions
If your PG Focus access has ended, you don’t have to study without practice questions. SteamTicket is an independent online question bank for SOPEEC power engineering exams, and unlike a subscription, you pay once and keep it.
Where things stand
PG Focus subscriptions ended 31 May 2025, and PanGlobal, which announced its wind-down on 6 March 2025, has since concluded operations (5 November 2025). If you were practising questions through PG Focus, you now need a different online tool.
Wind-down announcement and PG Focus end date: Institute of Power Engineers notice. The 5 November 2025 conclusion is per the closure notice published by PanGlobal. Last verified 14 June 2026: confirm current status with the providers.
The textbooks are being posted free to read
PG Focus was the practice tool, and the study texts behind it are being made available too. BCIT’s Power Engineering library guide says: “BCIT, SAIT, and NAIT are in the process of making all Power Engineering-related texts formerly published by PanGlobal free to access online, this will take time, but materials are added to BCIT’s Institutional Repository (IR) as soon as they’re available.” The resources already in that repository are Open Educational Resources: free to access and share.
It covers texts rather than practice questions, and it is still being filled in, so check back for the rest.

SteamTicket does not host, mirror, or sell those books. We link the official BCIT pages only.
Practice questions you can use online today
SteamTicket runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or phone, nothing to install. Once a course is open it keeps working if your signal drops mid-session, so a patchy job-site or plant connection won't end your session (you need a connection to open a course). Every question comes with a worked explanation, and the adaptive SMART Quiz builds each session from the units you keep getting wrong.
One payment instead of a renewing subscription
A subscription keeps billing until you remember to cancel, and the longer you study, the more it costs. SteamTicket is one payment, then it’s yours. Lifetime access includes future updates to the bank you bought.
SteamTicket: pay once
One payment, lifetime access. The 4th Class bundle (Part A + Part B) is $99 once; single courses start at $79. No renewals, and re-sits cost nothing extra.
A subscription model
Recurring charges that continue until you cancel, so the total grows the longer you study, and access stops when payment stops.
