The National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC/JATC) Aptitude Test is a 69-question test divided into two sections:
The time to finish the test is 96 minutes in total.
Although the test is commonly referred to as the NJATC Aptitude Test, the official test provider is the Electric Training Alliance, a body formed by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and National Electrical Association (NECA) to ensure the proper training of electrician apprentices.
All the following test names are interchangeable:
To pass the Electrical Training Alliance Aptitude Test, you will need to remove the rust from your math and reading comprehension skills and become exceptionally quick and accurate at it.
Some may have the ability to purchase long-term courses with a complete overview of test subjects. Unfortunately, for many, this is hardly an option both in time and money.
So, to get the maximum out of your preparation, you should FOCUS.
You’re probably all set up for my sales pitch. Good. Skepticism and alertness are key factors in making wise decisions. And I AM going to give you a sales pitch, the most honest one I can give.
In March of 2020, I received an email from a candidate named Chris. He asked me a very short, straightforward question:
“I would like to know how your questions are designed for student success, and if you have any data to provide me that supports this programs efficiency.”
Emails from customers like Chris mean a great deal to me. They allow me to understand how test-takers feel – their hopes and expectations and concerns.
But Chris’s particular email was a wake-up call for me, as it revealed a common concern to many test-takers – trust. Trust in yourself, in your course of study, and in those who claim they can help.
When you are faced with your Electrical Training Alliance Test for the first time, you know very little. That is no coincidence – vague test content is a common tactic of test providers to make sure that those with the skill and grit will come on top.
You don’t know what you should study, how, and when. And EVERYBODY is telling you that they can help you. For a price.
But can we at JobTestPrep really help? Can you put your trust in us, when you know nearly nothing about the task ahead?
That’s what Chris wanted to know. And he has the right to.
My email to Chris was pretty long, so I’ll summarize the 3 main points. These relate directly to the three focus points I mentioned above as keys for your success on the NJATC Aptitude Test.
We know our product. That is why we offer a 100% money-back guarantee in case of mismatch between the NJATC Aptitude Test and the content of our PrepPack.

144 /2+1 = 73
18 /2+1 = 10
520 /2+1 = 261
Every two terms are a pair. The first number is divided by two and then increased by 1 in order to produce the second term.
Therefore, D is the right answer.
For the past six months, the National Union of Teachers (NUT) has been engaged in action short of striking in protest over workloads, working hours, pay and pensions. They have refused to supervise children in the playground or attend some meetings after school. Teachers have recently called for the time they spend teaching pupils to be capped at 20 hours a week, a drastic reduction in teachers' hours. In the annual NUT conference, teachers have claimed that in the past year, the number of hours they work has risen dramatically as a result of pressure from the government and the school inspectorate.
‘Teachers undermine the respect of the general public by behaving as an old-fashioned trade union and making unrealistic demands. Clearly, teaching depends on good preparation and arduous marking of pupils' work and there needs to be an allowance of time for that, but to attempt to limit the number of teaching hours when there is a great strain on finances is a ridiculous request’.

When looking for common ground, one should keep in mind that it is not enough to find a sentence that is true for one paragraph/passage but untrue for the other, or that is true for one passage but not mentioned in the other (although it might be inferred). In neither case would the sentence describe the common ground between the passages. Our task is to find a sentence that represents an idea existing in both passages. Distracter A, for example, is true in respect to the CEER spokesman, but the notion is not mentioned in the first paragraph, although it can perhaps be inferred from it. Distracters C and D are both mentioned in the first paragraph but not in the quotation of the CEER spokesman. Distracter B is the correct answer since the idea that ‘Teachers are attempting to limit the number of teaching hours’ appears both in the first passage: ‘Teachers have recently called for the time they spend teaching pupils to be capped at 20 hours a week’, as well as in the second passage: ‘but to attempt to limit the number of teaching hours… is a ridiculous request’.
The test scores will become available to you only 2-4 weeks after completing the test. An independent facility is charged with grading the test, which needs a minimum 4/9 to qualify you.
Considering the wide range of positions in the electrical field, we will try to give the reader a rough estimation of what they can expect to learn throughout the apprenticeship process and the divide between classroom and on job training hours.
Theory – In classroom, textbook training can run between 576 and 1,000 hours, depending on the type of position you are looking to fill.
On the Job – Training on site will usually run between a total of 8,000 and 10,000 hours.
You will be interviewed by a panel consisting of the director of the apprenticeship and members of the local union office and NECA.
Be prepared for questions on experience, conflict resolution, how you like to work, and why you have chosen the field at hand.

Can I arrive late to the test?
If you come late you will be denied entry and there may be a fee for rescheduling the exam.
