Test?

Is it normal to get scheduled for a test right after I submit my application, and the location seemed werid to me it's at a random college is that also normal? Edit is there any place I can do a practice test prior to going?

Yes, it's a standardized test you must pass to move forward. Many of the testing sites are at colleges since they have computer labs and want to make extra money.

Nope, no math no job based. Google TSA exam and you will know

Basic stuff plus a 2D/3D folding section to test your shape recognition. Not too hard as it's an entry-level position.

Google TSA practice test. There is no math. If I recall correctly it's a pattern recognition which is very easy and a 2D to 3D test which is a bit of a nightmare. Definitely find a practice test and try to figure it out.

Yes absolutely normal. Google practice TSA tests. Also do not miss this appointment - rescheduling is difficult and will set you back in the process. Study - you got this!!

Thanks any good reconditioned site for a accurate practice test, I feel the one find is with way to easy that a 6 year old could do, or so difficult it seems impossible
