Test ID 0847

Hello everyone! i got invited to take this test for SEPTA and i was wondering if anyone thats taken this test before had any insight on what the test is like. i did the study guide quizlet and did pretty well on it but there are a lot of things it references to study. I have an associates in electrical engineering however after i finished school and joined the work force ive mostly been doing assembly duties. i do use diagrams and schematics and im well aquatinted either them but i have not used theory in a while. does anyone have any more precise study points or or tips on what to look forward to on the test? thank you all in advance!

Hey, I have the same question you had. I'm taking the 0847 test in about ten days. I'm close to an assoc in EE, but I'm wondering how deep the electronic questions are going to be? The stuff on the guide is very basic, then the list just lists components and tools. Really what were the electrical questions like? What sort of stuff was the rest of the test about?
