No minimum score. The GAN Aptitude Test makes up 50% of a 0–100 application score, combined with the Personal Experience Form and a letter of recommendation. Only sixteen of the 43 locals we have checked publish a minimum score at all.

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 292 uses the GAN battery, scored 0–100 with no 1–9 band, so our practice band does not map to its rule.
