The key rules in three sets of 20 to 25 minutes
A full-length NPPE mock plus a timed set for every blueprint area
The NPPE, on 7 pages

Two free NPPE-style questions with the rule behind each answer, what each blueprint area tests, and how to practise and score yourself as the exam is marked. Not NPPE items.

When APEGA lets you register for the NPPE, the $250 plus GST fee, 2027 deadlines, four attempts and the one-year clock, results in myAPEGA, and the Alberta Act, code and standards to read.

Week-by-week NPPE plans weighted by the blueprint’s question ranges, a plan builder for your date and hours, and for every sub-topic what to be able to do and what to read.

The four textbooks and ten free documents on the NPPE list, what regulators add, which reading covers which blueprint area, what regulators say is not exam prep, and notes on the two heaviest areas.

Every NPPE window for 2026 and 2027 with its registration deadline and booking window, the earlier APEGS and Engineers Nova Scotia deadlines, how each regulator registers you, and a countdown.

The Washington Accord covers only NBA-accredited programmes at NBA Tier I institutions, completed after 13 June 2014 while accredited; each regulator still decides. Where the NPPE fits, by province.

The NPPE pass mark is a scaled 65, not 65%. What pass-rate figures an official body has published (one), why candidates fail in the program's own words, the mastery report, and attempt limits.

The NPPE can be taken anywhere in the world, but only after a Canadian regulator registers you. The equipment rules, the second camera since June 2026, and every window converted to IST.

The NPPE costs $170 to $315 at the engineering regulators, up to $655.50 for a geoscientist writing overseas. Every published fee with its tax note, refund and deferral rules, and second-fee traps.

The NPPE exam in one place: 110 questions in 2.5 hours, remote proctored, booked through your regulator; the six blueprint areas and their question ranges; how it is scored; and how to pass.

Sitting windows through 2027, the registration cut-offs that gate each one, the APEGA fee and the blueprint weightings, all taken from nppexam.ca and APEGA's own pages
