Local 11 — Commerce, CA at a glance

Aptitude battery: GAN

This JATC uses the GAN Aptitude Test Battery, a different test: reading, numerical computation, numerical reasoning, paper folding, problem solving and mechanical comprehension. It is not the two-section electrical training ALLIANCE test, and preparing only for algebra and reading will leave you short.

Your band vs this local's line: Local 11 uses the GAN battery, scored 0–100 with no 1–9 band, so our practice band does not map to its rule.

Application window: Applicant registration is online only. The program continues to accept applications from eligible applicants in accordance with its approved standards and selection procedures. Veterans meeting the stated service criteria have the algebra requirement waived.
Testing frequency: Once your completed Personal Experience Form is received, staff schedule a time for you to come to the facility at 6023 S. Garfield Avenue, City of Commerce, and take the aptitude test. All applicants must take the aptitude test regardless of the program selected.
Score threshold: You are given 2 hours and 20 minutes for a test covering five topics: mathematical reasoning, numerical reasoning, reading comprehension, mechanical reasoning, and paper folding. The Personal Experience Form constitutes up to 40% of your final score. No minimum score is published.
Retake wait: Not published by this JATC for the aptitude test. The notice states only that an application cancelled for a Personal Experience Form not submitted within 14 days requires reapplying, and that a failed or refused drug test requires waiting at least six months to re-apply.
