Well I was lucky enough to be chosen by GA power to test for one of their apprenticeships.
The test I have to take is the CAST. Well at least the first one is.

I have the login info to eei.org and the practice test already.

I was wondering if anyone here has some info that you can't get from the practice test that they would be willing to share with me.

Or anything more specific to GA power/southern companies and their hiring process.

any info is appreciated.

thanks

The practice test that you get online is a very good representation of what the actual test consists of. Just remember "It's better to answer a few and have them all right, than answering them all and having a few wrong".
GOOD LUCK.

Well after taking and passing it (It was easier than I thought it was going to be) I have to say the advice that CAM gave me is about the best I can give.

It is very similar to the practice test and they tell you specifically that it is better to get more right than more done.

The only thing I can complain about is that some of the drawings were such that you can't tell what they mean by the questions...I couldn't anyway. I guess my perception of the pictures could be different than most.
It is like those optical illusions where you can see something one way and it looks like it is coming toward you, but you can look at it another way and it seems like it is going away from you.
Regardless I either guessed right or it wasn't enough to fail me.

So if you have to take this test, just study the practice tests and the type of things they require you to do and you will be fine.

CAM gave you excellent advice. Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. I used to administer that test for Florida Power Corp......it can be a booger for some folks.
