Common question · October 28, 2026
Union electrical apprenticeships use the aptitude test from the electrical training ALLIANCE, also called the NJATC aptitude test. It has two parts. Algebra and Functions has 33 questions in 46 minutes. Reading Comprehension has 36 questions in 51 minutes. Plan on about two and a half hours in all. You are told only whether you got a qualifying score, not your exact score. The West Texas Electrical JATC, for example, asks for a minimum score of 5 unless you qualify for direct entry. Ask your program what score it needs, and check the program's page for current test dates.
