How to Pass the IBEW Aptitude Test

A 2-week plan that works if you actually do it.

Week 1 — Diagnose & drill

  • Day 1: Take a free test. Write down your score per section.
  • Days 2–4: Drill your weak section. 30 questions a day.
  • Day 5: Drill the other section. 30 questions.
  • Days 6–7: Mixed practice. 50 questions a day.

Week 2 — Simulate

  • Day 8: First full 96-minute simulator. No phone, no breaks except the official one.
  • Days 9–11: Review every wrong answer. Read the explanation. Redo similar problems.
  • Day 12: Second full simulator. Aim higher.
  • Days 13–14: Light review. Sleep. Eat. Show up.

Test day

  • Eat something with protein. Don't show up hungry.
  • Get there 20 minutes early.
  • If a question is taking forever, mark a guess and move on.
  • Use the break to reset, not panic.
