OperatorPrep
ABC Need-to-Know Criteria · WT / WD / WWT / WWC · Grades I–IV

Pass your water operator exam the first time.

Practice exams built on a simple idea: every answer verified, every question explained, and your weak areas drilled automatically — because the official app's own reviews say its answers can't be trusted.

Free to try — no account needed. Sample bank Demo ships 26 sample questions; the verified bank is the paid roadmap.

Verified answer key — citation on every question Smart drills — missed questions first, weakest domains next Math Lab — step-by-step solvers, the #1 fail reason $49 one-time — no subscription

Built for how operators actually study

Not a question dump. A practice system that tells you exactly where you stand against the 70% pass bar — and what to drill next.

Verified accuracy

Every question carries a citation to the ABC Need-to-Know Criteria domain it was checked against, plus a human-verified flag. The official app's reviews document wrong answers — trust is the product here.

Smart weak-area drills

One click builds a session from your history: questions you missed first, then unseen questions in your weakest domains. Nobody else auto-targets your weak spots.

Timed mock exams

Mirrors the ABC standardized format — 100 questions, 180 minutes — with a live timer and a question palette like real exam software.

Grade-ladder readiness

Per-domain and per-grade (Class I–IV) readiness against the 70% pass bar, with a cumulative score trend. Pass Class I, climb to Class IV on the same purchase.

Math Lab

Operator math is the #1 exam fail reason. Seven solvers — lbs/day, CT, detention time, chemical feed and more — each with step-by-step worked solutions.

One-time pricing

$49 per exam class or $99 for everything — pay once, keep it forever. The official app charges $49.99 every 12 months; courses run $180–$300 per class.

An honest comparison

We're not the biggest bank — yet. Here's where each option actually stands, including where competitors still lead.

Questions, answered

Is OperatorPrep affiliated with ABC or AWWA?

No. ABC and AWWA names are used only to identify the certification exams covered. OperatorPrep is an independent practice tool.

Which exams does it cover?

Water Treatment (WT), Water Distribution (WD), Wastewater Treatment (WWT), and Wastewater Collection (WWC), each across grades Class I–IV — aligned to ABC's Need-to-Know Criteria.

Why one-time pricing instead of a subscription?

Operators study in bursts around an exam date, then climb grades over years. A subscription taxes you for the gaps; one payment covers your whole ladder.

When will the full verified bank be ready?

The demo ships 26 clearly-labeled sample questions. The launch target is 500+ human-verified questions per exam class, each citing its ABC criteria domain. We won't charge until it's done — the dashboard shows the verification count honestly.

Can I study on my phone?

Yes — the app is fully mobile-responsive, and your progress follows your account.

Know where you stand before exam day.
