How is the OSHA 30-Hour Construction cheat sheet PDF different from the free cheat sheet page and the study guide?
The PDF is a colour print layout of the exam's key facts, sectioned and dense, to print and keep beside you. The study guide ($14.99) teaches the material chapter by chapter; the cheat sheet ($9.99) is the short reference. They are separate purchases. Buying the PDF unlocks nothing: the practice questions and timed mock exam are free either way.

The same free, no-account system also has practice modes (adaptive, new questions, spaced review of misses, weak-topic focus, saved, my mistakes); a timed mock exam (90 questions, 90 minutes) with a score report by topic; a 10-question readiness check (about 5 minutes); 5 study chapters. None of it needs this cheat sheet.
Is this the official OSHA 30-Hour Construction cheat sheet?
No. This is an independent cheat sheet and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the exam's awarding body. Its figures come from 29 CFR 1926 (OSHA Construction standards), and the PDF lists the sources and the date each figure was checked. Always confirm current requirements with the body that issues your licence.
