And there is like a ridiculous amount of questions to answer within that time. Don't sweat it! I think I only answered like 8 questions but I damn sure made them count (I know I answered them all correct). I just remembered thinking "Damn! I don't think I answered enough to pass!" I think the test is tying to see how you act under pressure and if you can be accurate under the gun. After I found out I passed, It really took the stress off of the next tests I took with them. I've taken a meter technician test, a planner test, an apprentice substation operator/trainee test, and a construction helper test. All the math sections seem to be the same. And every time I work as quickly as I can but don't mind If I skip some or don't get to them all. I have passed all tests. I think the only thing that will hold you back is your nerves. Maybe rub one out before you test. LOL J/K
Have a few beers before you go in.... Now, Rub one out !!
