Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable ASE Readiness certificate (SOA-ASEC). Every question is based on published standards and research — including ASE certification tests (A1–A9 automobile and light truck series) (National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence), Section 609 technician training and certification for motor vehicle air conditioning (US Environmental Protection Agency) — and each answer is explained with its source.
