What each practice exam covers
Alaska's Core Exam has three sections, General Knowledge, State Regulations and Label Comprehension, and every applicator must pass it (DEC). The rules require core exams that cover at least the federal core competencies in 40 CFR 171.103(c) and knowledge of state and federal pesticide law (18 AAC 90.305). Each practice exam follows those federal core competencies, plus Alaska law from DEC's pesticide control regulations, 18 AAC 90. DEC hands out a copy of the state regulations at the exam, so the Alaska questions test applying the rules to real situations.

What exam do these practice tests prepare me for?

How is the real Alaska Core Exam set up?
It is taken at online testing centers around Alaska; the proctor provides a copy of the state pesticide regulations and handouts such as labels, a simple calculator is allowed, and no other study materials are (DEC). DEC doesn't publish the number of questions.
