How I Prepared for the UA Local 393 Aptitude Test

By the time I tested for UA 393, I had a system. Math, mechanical practice, and staying sharp on time management.

For IBEW, I focused on timed math and reading practice. The structure helped me stay honest.

The IBEW test felt more focused: reading and math, without the mechanical or tool section I saw with IUEC.

After leaving the test unsure, getting the pass email felt huge. Then the next problem showed up: the interview.

The timer can mess with your head. This simple strategy helped me protect easy points first.

I studied, showed up early, and still left feeling like I might have failed.

Of all the things I studied, reading a tape measure was one of the small details I was glad I practiced.

The IUEC test had reading, math, mechanical comprehension, and tool identification. The math was the part I respected most.
