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.

Application window
Submit a $50 application fee. Your GAN Aptitude Test is scheduled no later than 90 days after you become eligible.
Testing frequency
Held at The Electrical Trades Center. Test scores are returned to applicants within 60 days.
Score threshold
No cut score. Application scores from 0–100 are factored from the GAN Aptitude Test and the Personal Experience Form. Acceptance runs from #1 (the highest score) down the eligibility list.
Retake wait
Not published by this JATC — confirm the current rule with the training center.
