NATE Core Practice Tests

This practice test covers the tools and test instruments every HVACR technician relies on daily. You will see questions on hand tools like tubing cutters, flaring tools, and torque wrenches, plus test instruments like the multimeter, manifold gauge set, and clamp-on ammeter.

This practice test covers basic construction knowledge from the NATE Core exam blueprint. You will see questions on wall and floor framing, insulation R-value, vapor barriers, and general building components a technician needs to recognize when running lines, ducts, and wiring.

This practice test focuses on basic science topics from the NATE Core exam blueprint, especially heat transfer. You will see questions on conduction, convection, radiation, sensible heat, latent heat, and BTU and ton-of-cooling conversions.

This practice test covers states of matter, pressure, and temperature scales from the NATE Core exam blueprint. You will see questions on solid, liquid, and gas states, how pressure affects boiling point, and Fahrenheit-Celsius conversions.

This practice test covers the comfort factors from the NATE Core exam blueprint. You will see questions on temperature, humidity, air movement, air cleanliness, and noise level, and how they combine to create truly comfortable indoor conditions.

This practice test covers temperature and humidity measurement from the NATE Core exam blueprint. You will see questions on dry bulb and wet bulb temperature, relative humidity, the psychrometric chart, and the sling psychrometer.

This practice test covers basic electrical concepts from the NATE Core exam blueprint, focused on Ohm's Law and circuit behavior. You will see questions on voltage, current, resistance calculations, and how series and parallel circuits behave.

This practice test covers basic electrical components and safety from the NATE Core exam blueprint. You will see questions on fuses, circuit breakers, switches, relays, contactors, and safe practices when using a multimeter around live circuits.

This final practice test mixes questions from across the whole NATE Core exam blueprint. You will see scenario-based questions combining safety, tools, construction, basic science, comfort, temperature and humidity measurement, and basic electrical topics.
