  When I applied for the apprenticeship in FL, I had to turn a certificate proof that I did algebra for a year. They gave me a paper on where I must go online in order to do the courses. There are 12+ courses in total with 25 lessons then a unit exam towards the end. You have to score 75% above with two chances if you fail you have to pay for it again and start all over. When I turned in my certificate and scheduled an appointment for the entry exam NOTHING I studied for or taught myself was in the Aptitude Exam

  I did college classes for the reinterview and got in from that, I don't think I obtained any certificates from the college classes. If you're trying to get a reinterview just follow through with getting it because they appreciate the people that come in for a reinterview showing their determination to get in

  Hey man how’s it going. I got a question in regarding the recieving the email. I just checked through my jatc website, it said I got accepted around march 11th but the email apparently it was sent to was different from what mine. So I’m curious if that means I’m not in anymore or do I still have a chance to accept since it seems to be an error on their part? I never recieved mail, email, or even a phone call. Only on the jatc website is where I saw the acceptance letter so I’m worried that I’m not accepted. I’m calling them on Monday but let me know on what your thoughts it could be.

Now, the study guide I was given was similar to the problems you had stated on your video. The real question is … how hard are the problems. Is it really mostly (y=mx+b) type of problems with some evaluation of expressions. I just feel like theres so many videos on this ibew test topic that I almost feel as if im misinforming with self. But tbh you’re video and what you’re stating sounds the most realistic to me.
