As part of the hiring process for a Postal Service career position, you will be required to take an exam. Please refer to the Postal Service section of the separate Guide for a detailed description of the hiring process. There are 4 exams covered here. They are covered together here, because the exams are similar in their content. The Postal Service exams covered here are NOT designed to see how smart you are. These exams are designed to see if you are a good fit for the position. PREPARATION for the exam is the key to success. By going through the material we cover here, you WILL be prepared and you can therefore be successful. So, if you’re not typically a good test taker, don’t worry, we will prepare you here so you can be successful.  \nThe Postal Service refers to this exam as an “assessment”. So during this process the words “exam” and“assessment” refer to the same thing. The Postal Service uses a system called the Virtual Entry Assessment or VEA for short. So you may also see “VEA” in some places, this simply refers to the system the Postal Service uses for the exam process. Please refer to the separate Guide for a more detailed description of the Postal Service VEA exam system. You do NOT have to take the same exam repeatedly. Once you take an exam and pass it, that makes you eligible for ANY position that requires that same exam.  \nSome Postal Service exams give a numeric score while other Postal Service exams give an “Eligible”(passed) or “Ineligible”(failed) score. On exams with a numeric score, a score of 70% is passing. We will provide you with an answer grid and an answer key, so you can check your answers and determine ascore. But keep in mind that some sections such as the “Tell Us Your Story” section (described later in this intro), depend upon your personal history and experience (if any) . So scoring that section is dependent upon you. For that section, we will simply give you the best answers, in their order.  \nThe chart below shows you the types of positions that are covered by each exam.  \n\n| Position types covered | Exam number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mail Carrier positions (Mail Delivery positions) | MC 474 |\n| Mail Handler positions | MH 475 |\n| Mail Processing positions (Mail Processor) | MP 476 |\n| Customer Service positions, also known as Sales Service & Distribution positions\u003Cbr>(Postal Clerk) | CS 477 |\n\nPlease note the exams above are also called: VEA 474 or Mail Carrier exam, VEA 475 or Mail Handler exam, VEA 476 or Mail Processor exam, VEA 477 or Customer Service exam  \nEach exam includes certain sections. We have listed below a chart that outlines which exam contains which sections. Please note the PREVIOUS chart for the position type and exam number AND then refer to the chart BELOW for the exact sections included in that exam.  \n\n| Exam Number | Sections Included |\n| --- | --- |\n| MC 474 | • Tell Us Your Story\u003Cbr>• Describe Your Approach\u003Cbr>• Work Scenarios |\n| MH 475 | • Tell Us Your Story\u003Cbr>• Describe Your Approach\u003Cbr>• Work Scenarios\u003Cbr>• Check for Errors |\n| MP 476 | • Tell Us Your Story\u003Cbr>• Describe Your Approach\u003Cbr>• Work Scenarios\u003Cbr>• Check for Errors |\n| CS 477 | • Tell Us Your Story\u003Cbr>• Describe Your Approach\u003Cbr>• Work Situations (same as “Work Scenarios”)\u003Cbr>• Work Your Register |\n\nWe will now describe each section of the exam, it is CRITICAL to understand each section, as these sections combined, create the exam (different sections for each exam as outlined in the chart above) .
