APTITUDE TEST
The aptitude test is developed and scored under the standards of the Electrical Training Alliance. It consists of algebra and reading comprehension. Applicants are scored on a scale of 1-9. A score of four (4) or higher will qualify for a interview. If a score is below four (4), a applicant will need to submit a new application with all the required information for re-testing.
When a applicant submits his application, the application is assigned to the next testing date. Testing dates are established based upon the number of applications received. The sooner a application is submitted, the sooner a testing date will be scheduled. When a testing date is scheduled, the applicant will be notified by mail of the testing date. It is possible that a testing date can be up to 6 months, or greater, after a application is submitted.
Below are 2 sample tests that show the format of what the aptitude test is like:
