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.

What Is the Electrical Aptitude Test?

Unlike the name suggests, the test has nothing to do with electricity. It is designed to assess your ability to learn the required skills to become an electrician through an apprenticeship. Therefore, it is often referred to as the IBEW Aptitude Test, after the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

That assessment is done by multiple-choice questions on 2 main topics:

Basic Math (Trades Math)
- Algebra (functions, equations, etc.)
- Number series
Reading comprehension
