Why practice scores mislead
You can ace recall and still fail the exam.
Most Red Seal exams are built mainly from procedural and critical-thinking questions — the kind that ask you to work a fault through to a cause, not name a part. Most question banks are the opposite, because recall questions are cheap to write.
That gap is why people walk in confident and walk out surprised. TicketPrep weights every test to the published blueprint for your trade, so a weak section here is a weak section there.
