What the diagnostic is for
A full customs broker exam prep plan starts by finding the topics you cannot yet find in the regulations. This diagnostic pulls from the same bank as daily practice, including entry, valuation, broker licensing, drawback, marking, quotas, and the newer sets on AD/CVD evasion, origin, USMCA claims, penalties, and recorded trademarks. After you submit, study the sections you missed, then drill that topic.
The paid practice exam is a separate sitting: up to 80 questions at the real exam's pace. Full access is $29 a month.

Common questions
What is the customs broker exam diagnostic?
It is a free 20-question mixed set drawn from the CBLE Practice bank. It is untimed. You need a free account. It does not use your daily practice allowance.
Does the diagnostic replace the real exam?
No. The real Customs Broker License Exam is given by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. A score here shows where you stand against a 75 percent passing line on this sample, not whether you will pass CBP's exam.
What happens after I submit?
You see your score, a count of right answers by topic, and the explanation and citation for every question.
