4. The test is divided into four sections. The first section contains 25 CORE questions which deal with environmental issues surrounding the impact of the Class-I and Class 11 refrigerants.

5. The next section in the test includes 25 technical questions for Type I certification. To test for Type 1 certification you must answer all the CORE questions and all Type 1 questions. Do not answer other questions.

6. The same procedure is used for Type II and Type III applicants. Each type has 25 questions. As with Type I, you must answer the CORE questions and the questions in the section for the technician type for which you wish to be certified.

7. If you wish to be certified for more than one type, you must answer the CORE questions plus the sections on each certification type you want.

8. To test for universal certification, you must answer all 100 questions on the test.

9. To pass a particular technician type you must get at least 18 correct answers on the CORE section and at least 18 correct answers on the technical section for that type.
