NJATC Apprenticeship Test Battery
There are two parts to the NJATC test:
- Algebra & Functions
- Reading Comprehension
There is no penalty for guessing. Since your score is dependent on correct answers only, it is best to answer all of the questions.
Your test is then scored by an independent facility that sends your results to your training center 2-4 weeks after you took the exam. The training center will mail these results to you.
You have a Qualifying Aptitude Test if you score at least 4 out of a possible 9. In the event that your test does not qualify, a re-application can be filed six months after you took the test.
If your exam does qualify, an interview will be scheduled to take place during the month following the test.
