The 2nd Class Part A (2A) exam in Manitoba

The 2nd Class exam is written as separate papers (Part A and Part B), each 100 multiple-choice questions, 3 hours, 65% to pass. This course covers Part A (2A). Manitoba uses the standardized SOPEEC papers, so a question bank keyed to the national SOPEEC syllabus applies directly.
