General Aptitude Test Information – IBEW/NECA Electrical …

Applicants for Electrical Construction Apprenticeshipwho meet all other minimum requirements will be scheduled to take the NJATC Apprenticeship Test Battery.

The Aptitude Test is administered monthly at our location and takes approximately two and a half hours to complete. It consists of two parts: Algebra and Reading Comprehension. A short break is given between the two parts of the test.

Our office receives results from the test approximately two weeks from the test date.

Applicants receiving a score of at least 4 (out of a possible 9) will be advanced to the next step of the application process, a personal interview with the JATC Committee. Applicants who have documented at least 4000 hours of electrical construction work experience are not required to receive a minimum score for a personal interview, but will be required to take the test so Aptitude can be measured.
