electronics,which may obscure prohibited items.Once you've scanned the center,work your way outward in sections,ensuring that you systematically cover the entire image.2.Top-Down Approach:Another method is tostart at the top of the image and work your way down in horizontal lines.This approach can be particularly useful if the bag is densely packed,as it allows you to focus on one layer at a time.3.Grid-Based Scanning:Mentally divide the image into a grid and scan each section thoroughly before moving on to the next.This helps ensure you don'toverlook any part of the image,especially in areas where objects might overlap or be hidden.4.Object-Type Focus:As you scan,prioritize identifying objects that might be high-risk,such as electronics,knives,or liquids.By focusing on these items first,you can quickly determine whether the bag poses a threat,while still covering the entire image.Anyone applying for Transportation Security Officer(TSO)roles and other positions for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)will be expected to pass the TSA CBT at an early stage of the hiring process.There are two versions of the TSA Computer Based Test(CBT);the original version and the new version.This article includes acomprehensive overview of both test types and information on how to stand the best chance of passing the TSA CBT in 2025.Prepare for the TSA CBT Test with our Test Package TSA CBT Practice Test:The Original Version The original version of the TSA CBT is made up of the following two sections:X-Ray Test /Image Interpretation/BaggageScanner Training/Object Recognition Test (ORT)Many people consider this the most difficult part of the TSA CBT original test.The pass rate is only 30%.Even if you pass the test on your first attempt,you may be asked to retake it.This ensures you have the required visual and cognitive skills to succeed in ajob role with the TSA.The X-ray testmust be taken at a dedicated test center.You must arrive at least 30 minutes before your allocated test start time.This is to ensure you have sufficient time to complete the associated paperwork.You will be allowed up to two and a half hours to complete the test.Usually,you will be asked to answer two CBT test practice questions beforecommencing the actual test.For the first CBT test practice question,you must remember the shapes of up to six target items in 30 seconds.For the second CBT test practice online question,you must identify these target items within 15 seconds.After moving on to the actual test,you will only have a few seconds to review each image.Each imageshows a piece of baggage and you will need to check whether it contains any prohibited or target items.Target items are forbidden objects,including drugs,electronics,bottles and weapons.You can view a full list of the banned items here.For each image,you must choose“hold”,“alarm”or“pass”.Choosing“pass”means you have not seen anytarget items.Choosing“alarm”means you have seen a prohibited item and you need to request further intervention from the police.Choosing“hold”means you have seen a prohibited item that needs intervention from a TSO and additional screening.Some images will only contain non-dangerous items;others wil contain a combination ofdangerous and non-dangerous objects.Some of the images will be more complex than others.For example,in some images,the objects will overlap,making it more difficult to spot prohibited items.For each image,you will need to identify the luggage that contains prohibited items such as guns,knives,bombs and IEDs.To stand the best chance ofpassing this part of the test,it is important to learn about the different colors that appear on security X-rays.Here is an overview:Organic materials -Typically represented in shades of orange.This category includes most common items","cbCaicKN8ej0kWO9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicKN8ej0kWO9","pdf",397806,"English","# Transportation security officer exam\n## TSA CBT
