Prometric Practice Test for ASE Exams

Free Prometric-style simulator plus everything you need to know about taking your ASE B-Series exam at a Prometric testing center.

What Is Prometric?

Prometric is the official testing partner for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). When you sit for an ASE B-Series exam, you take it at a Prometric test center on a locked-down computer in a quiet, proctored environment.

Prometric operates testing centers across the United States and internationally, and serves multiple professional certification bodies (ASE, nursing certifications, financial services certs, IT certifications, and many others). For ASE candidates, Prometric is where the real test happens after you complete your study with our practice simulator.

The exam interface, the pacing, the question formats, and the test-day procedures are consistent across Prometric centers. Our simulator is built to mirror this Prometric experience as closely as possible so that test day feels familiar.

What to Expect on Test Day

The Test Environment

  • Quiet, proctored room with multiple test stations (other test takers may be working on different exams).
  • Webcam monitoring at most centers to maintain test integrity.
  • Locker provided for your phone, watch, bag, jacket, and any other personal items.

The Pacing

ASE B2 through B5 are 65 scored questions plus approximately 10 unscored research questions in 90 minutes (about 72 to 83 seconds per question). ASE B6 is 60 scored questions in 75 minutes (about 75 seconds per question).

Results appear on screen the moment you click Submit. ASE emails the official score report (with category-level breakdown) within 2 weeks.

✓ Bring These Items

  • Government-issued photo ID. Driver's license, passport, military ID, or state ID. Must match your registered name exactly.

  • Your Prometric appointment confirmation (printed or accessible offline).

✗ Do NOT Bring

Find a Prometric Test Center Near You

Prometric operates testing centers nationwide. To find the center nearest you:

  1. Visit prometric.com/ase.
  2. Click Locate.
  3. Enter your ZIP code, city, or state.
  4. Review the list of nearby centers with addresses, hours, and available appointments.

Tip: major metro centers often book 2 to 4 weeks out. Smaller suburban or satellite centers may have next-week availability. If you are flexible on location, you can often test sooner.

Some ASE tests support remote proctoring via Prometric ProProctor. The requirements are strict (camera, microphone, single monitor, quiet room, no other people present). For first-time ASE certifications, we recommend the physical test center experience.

How to Schedule Your Appointment

  3. Go to prometric.com/ase and click Schedule.
  4. Enter your eligibility number, last name, and ZIP code.
  5. Pick a location, date, and time.
  6. Pay the Prometric sitting fee (separate from the ASE registration and per-test fees).

Practice in a Prometric-Style Environment First

Before you pay ASE registration, per-test fees, and the Prometric sitting fee, run a full-length practice simulation on our platform. Our simulator is designed to mirror the Prometric experience:

  • The same five ASE question types in real proportions (standard, Technician A/B, EXCEPT, MOST likely, LEAST likely).
  • 65-question (or 60-question for ASE B6) timed simulations.
  • Flag-and-review feature matching Prometric's interface.
  • Category-level breakdowns so you know exactly which content area needs more work.

If you score 80% or higher consistently on the simulator with no single category below 70%, you are ready to schedule your real Prometric appointment. If not, continue drilling weak categories before paying the fees.

Prometric ASE FAQ

Do I take my ASE exam at Prometric?
Yes. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) administers all certification exams through Prometric testing centers. You register with ASE first, then schedule your sitting with Prometric.
Can I take the ASE exam online from home?
Some ASE certifications support remote proctoring via Prometric ProProctor, but for first-time ASE B-Series certifications, the physical test center is recommended. Remote proctoring has strict technical and environmental requirements that introduce additional risk on test day.
How much does a Prometric appointment cost?
Prometric charges a sitting fee per test appointment, paid at the time you schedule. This is separate from the ASE registration fee and per-test fee paid to ASE. Pricing varies by location and rises annually. Check prometric.com/ase for current rates.

90 minutes for ASE B2, B3, B4, and B5 (65 scored questions plus about 10 unscored research items). 75 minutes for ASE B6 (60 scored questions plus a handful of research items).
What if I arrive late to my Prometric appointment?
Late arrivals are typically refused. The sitting fee is forfeited and you must reschedule. Always plan to arrive 30 minutes early.
Can I reschedule my Prometric appointment?
Yes, typically up to a few days before the scheduled date with no fee. Within the cancellation window, fees may apply. Check the Prometric site for current rescheduling policies.
When will I get my ASE test results?
You see a preliminary pass/fail result on screen immediately at the end of the test. ASE emails the official score report (including category-level breakdown) within 2 weeks.
What if I fail my ASE exam?
You can retake the test in the same 60-day registration window if there is time, or schedule for the next window. You pay another per-test fee and another Prometric sitting fee. Use the category-level breakdown from your score report to focus your retake preparation.
