ASE A-Series Auto Technician Tests (A1-A8) exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The ASE A-Series tests (A1 to A8) are the Automobile & Light Truck certification tests from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). Passing all eight earns Master Automobile Technician status. Each A-series test is taken separately: A1 Engine Repair 60 questions in 1.25 hours, A2 Automatic Transmission/Transaxle 60 in 1.25, A3 Manual Drive Train and Axles 50 in 1, A4 Suspension and Steering 50 in 1, A5 Brakes 55 in 1.25, A6 Electrical/Electronic Systems 60 in 1.5, A7 Heating and Air Conditioning 60 in 1.25 and A8 Engine Performance 60 in 1.25 hours, each followed by unscored research questions (ASE test pages, search extract). This portal's practice mock has 365 questions across A1-A8. ASE sets the passing standard for each test and reports pass or fail; the standard was not confirmed in the sources we read, so none is quoted here. ASE charges a US$34 registration fee per order and US$62 per general certification test (ASE, search extract). The content outline spreads questions across 8 areas; the largest are A6 - Electrical/Electronic Systems (13.7%); A7 - Heating and Air Conditioning (13.7%); A8 - Engine Performance (13.7%). ASE does not require a licence or prior training to take the tests; to be certified you also need qualifying work experience, which ASE sets; confirm the current rules with ASE before you register. This portal prepares you for the written tests; it does not replace hands-on experience or the ASE experience requirement.
