Disclaimer

Not affiliated with VA. This site and its study materials are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or its Office of General Counsel, and they are not VA-approved.

Not legal advice. Content is for general education about the accreditation process. It does not help with, prepare, present, or prosecute any individual claim for VA benefits. For help with a claim, use a VA-accredited representative (OGC Accreditation Search).

Practice questions are original. They are written from the public statutes and regulations. They do not reproduce the OGC exam and are not represented as matching it.

How we source facts

Every factual statement links to a primary source: the VA OGC accreditation page, VA Form 21a, 38 CFR part 14 on eCFR, 38 U.S.C. 5904, or the Federal Register.
If something is not stated in a primary source, such as the exam's question count, time limit, or open-book rule, we say so and label any secondary report as unverified.
Sources were last checked October 4, 2026. Each page lists its sources.
