Pass Your 2021 Electrical Aptitude Test with Tailor-Made Practice

The Electrical Aptitude Test is conducted for anyone who wants to become an electrician via apprenticeship.

Very little information is out there regarding the actual test. The official institutions conducting the test are intentionally vague about its content and structure.

But thousands of test-takers for over five years have helped us (and still do) at understanding exactly what you should expect, and how to best prepare.
