What do I need?
It is recommended that students should have in their possession the 9th Edition of the RAC Study Guide for the Basic Exam, which can be purchased online here. The cost of purchase is $50.00 plus tax & shipping. There are also special packages which are optional and which include the RAC Operating Manual and a six-month trial membership in RAC.
Another recommended but optional reference is the the student manual from Coax publication. If a student has already purchased the Sixth Edition of the RAC Study Guide instead, it is OK.
If a student has a computer with access to the internet, it is strongly recommended that they download practice exams from Industry Canada.
