Thinking about an electrical apprenticeship?
Most union apprenticeships start with an aptitude test in algebra and reading, then an interview. The Electrical Apprenticeship Aptitude & Interview Kit (US$39, one payment) has 1,300 math and 216 reading practice questions, 6 timed simulations in the published format, 20 interview answers with a mock interview, and a guide to which test 49 JATCs use. Check your JATC's application page first, because some programs use the GAN test instead.
