But before that , you will have to pass some challenging recruitment steps .  \nThe Electrical Training Alliance aptitude test , better known as the IB EW Electrical Aptitude Test is one of the toughest hurdles to get through ; this is where iP rep. Online comes in .  \nFor years , iP rep has been keeping track of the changes and adaptations taken first by the NJATC and then by the Electrical Training Alliance , in order to create a preparation course that is customized for the mostrecent version of the aptitude test.  \niP rep  \nAce That test!  \nI P R E P - A C E T H A T T E S T ! | 2  \nWhat Can I Expect on the Electrical Aptitude Test?  \nThe IB EW Electrical Aptitude Test is comprised of a total of 69 questions in two different sections:  \nT EST  \nS ECT IO N  \nNO . O F QUESTIONS  \nT I M E  \nIn total , you have an average of less than 90 seconds to answer each question . However , there is no need for you to answer all the questions because only the correct answers count. It is important to try to answer as many questions correctly as you can .  \nI P R E P - A C E T H A T T E S T ! | 3  \nTHE IP REP ADVANTAGE – DETAILED SOLUTIONS  \nAt i Prep we believe in learning through practice . While our study guide teaches everything you need to know about the test , you will gain the best solving techniques by delving into our detailed , step-by-step solutions .  \nI P R E P - A C E T H A T T E S T ! | 4  \nAptitude Test Sample Questions – Solved!  \nYou are probably familiar with the  official IB EW sample questions  offered by the Electrical Training Alliance . With iP rep , you will learn how to approach and solve each of these questions and more . Below is a collection of i Prep sample questions ; each question is parallel to one of the official sample questions and is followed by a detailed solution , similar to the solutions you will encounter in t he  i Prep IB EW Electrical Aptitude Test Preparation Course  .  \n1 . Algebra – Variables and the Order of Operations Consider the following formula:  \nA = B +3 (C – 3)  \nIf A = 10 and B = 1 , what is the value of C?  3  \n 9  \n 4  \n 6  \nThe correct answer is 6.  \nI P R E P - A C E T H A T T E S T ! | 5  \nIn order to solve this problem correctly , you need to remember the order of operations (PEM DAS):  \n1 . Parentheses  \n2 . Exponents  \n3 . Multiplication/Division  \n4 . Addition/Subtraction  \nIn order to find a solution , you need to isolate C.  \nFirst step – placing the values of A and B: A = B +3(C – 3) Remember A = 10 ; B = 1  \n10 = 1 + 3 (C - 3)  \nSecond step – removing the parentheses:  \n10 = 1 + 3 (C - 3)  \n10 = 1 + 3C - 3 * 3  \n3 is a factor of both C and -3 Simplify and collect like terms  \n10 = 3C + 1 - 9  \nThird step – isolating C and finding the solution:  \n10 = 3C - 8 Adding 8 to both sides  \n10 + 8 = 3C  \n18 = 3C Divide by 3  \n6 = C  \nRemember – if you see a number that is written to the left of the parentheses with no sign between the number and the left bracket , then this number is a factor of the parentheses , which means it multiplies everything within the parentheses .  \nI P R E P - A C E T H A T T E S T ! | 6  \nThe IBEW Electrical Aptitude Test is comprised of a total of 69 questions in two different sections:  \n Algebra & Functions  \n Reading Comprehension  \n2 . Algebra – Simplifying Polynomials  \nConsider the following formula:  \ny = 2(2x + 1)(x – 1)  \nWhich of the following formulas is equivalent to this one?  \n 4x2 – x – 1  \n 4x2 – 2x – 2  2x2 – x – 1  \n 2x2 – 2x – 2  \nThe correct answer is 4x2 – 2x – 2.  \nIn order to solve this problem correctly , you need to make sure that you understand the notations and the order of operations:  \n1 . The number 2 at the left is a factor of the product of binomials . You can either:  \na .
