Sample questions

These 20 sample questions for each designation include examples of the types of questions and content that will appear on the Gold Seal exams. You will be able to navigate back and forward and will see a review of your answers at the end. However, this functionality will not be available for the actual exam.

The exam will feature randomized questions and answers. Since the exams will be written at the applicants’ homes or offices, you will not be able to return to previously answered questions. Note that all exam questions and answers are the property of the Canadian Construction Association.
