Pass the IBEW aptitude test.
Get the apprenticeship.
The real test is 97 minutes of algebra and reading. We built the simulator, the question bank, and the study plan that mirrors it — so test day feels like another rep.
Apprentices who passed
Real candidates, real locals, real scores. Same simulator you'll use.
Ran the simulator four times. Test day felt like another rep — finished both sections with time left and scored a Band 8.
Algebra was killing me. Two weeks of the drills and the no-calculator stuff finally clicked. Got the interview callback.
Reading section was way faster than I expected on the real test. The trade-style passages here are the same flavor.
Most locals require a Band 4 or higher to move to the interview. We don't publish pass-rate claims — individual results vary.
