15–20 Questions Drawn From 177

How This Practice Test Works
- Each attempt draws 15–20 questions at random from our pool of 177 and shuffles the answer order. Score 80% or more and the next test moves up a difficulty level; under 50% and it eases back.
- After every answer you see an explanation and the OSHA 1926 Subpart CC reference behind it.
- We use 70% as a practice target. The CCO Core exam has 95 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes. NCCCO does not publish a fixed pass percentage on its program pages.
- There is no sign-up. Your level is saved only in this browser.
These are original questions written by our editorial team from the published OSHA 1926 Subpart CC. They are not real exam questions. Questions follow the eCFR text of 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC and NCCCO program pages. They do not cover ASME B30.5 or manufacturer load charts.
