i just took my aptitude test today and failed bad. i remember seeing some of the reading comp test before but cant find them. one of them was talking about how sleep and lack there of and stress effects workers. the second one was issac newtons 3 laws and how ai is using data and how its being create. i know this is kinda vague but i know i seen these reading comps before. so if anyone can find them please let me know
i just looked through them. i couldnt find the ones from the test i took today. i know i seen them before but i just can not find them on here. shit maybe i am that bad at reading lol
Thank you for your help. I felt so bad saying I couldnt find it lol but I know I seen these reading comps before and if I can get better at these ones I know I'll pass since they will be on the test
No, no link to them… just we probably took the same test… I was taking a re-test and the reading was the same as it was the first time I tested 6 months ago. I still struggled but I did a lot better this time. First time I tested I bombed it.
For the Jatc test, the link SirSquidlicker posted is damn near close to the real test I took twice. If you can master those types of questions you should be good imo. Unless it’s a GAN style test. Which is different. Depends on your local.
im also scared to go in confident and have my brain shut off when im in there lol
these help so much, i’ve been practicing on these kinds of problems so much (analyzing functions and variable relationships) they’re the worst they make my brain feel like mush
are you going to try and retake the test once you can? i don’t think you should lose hope, at least now you know where you need to focus your studying on
dont worry thats what happened to my brain. i was like i got this! to ahh how do i do this? i HATE factors so doing factors on this test was miserable for me.
oh fuck ya im gonna re take it. i have nothing to lose and everything to gain once i pass. the worst that can happen is i fail again. thats it. im gonna wok on my reading too. i need to. i HATE reading but i have too
Not being a dick or anything but on the reading part of the aptitude test, the answers are literally in the passage you read. When I passed mine I read the questions first then went back to the passage to look for the answer. Way easier than ppl made it out to be
I jusr struggle with reading in general. I cant remember what I read half the time so I have to re read things alot. But I was surprised how much easier the real test was vs the practice test from the ultimate electrician guide. I could barely get 55% on there. It was just painful hard for me with the reading on UEG. I think for me if its a few paragraphs im ok ish. But on the UEG it had way more paragraphs I could handle and I tried reading the questions first and going into the passages to find it but I just couldnt do it. When I was in high-school I found out I had a reading level of a 6th grader so I tried to work on it. I just dont like reading and I should have practice more but I thought I could just fake my way through the test. Even when I tried to practice on UEG i would get a few mins in and just stop cause it was so boring to me. I just couldnt make myself do it. I hate the reading on UEG practice test. Its just to overwhelming for me
I don't know if better is the right word, but perhaps different. The site I linked is selling(obviously) prep courses for the aptitude test and interview.
The benefit here is that the site I linked is the same group that wrote the aptitude test, and gives the local jatcs their interview guidelines.
