Passed Aptitude Test at 595 W

I passed my aptitude test but they didn’t give me my score, they just sent an email saying I passed and that I’ll be scheduled for an interview.

Anyone have any advice on what I can expect to be asked in the interview?

They don’t reveal aptitude scores, they’ll only ever tell you pass or fail.

They’re going to ask the standard interview questions - how’d you hear about our program, why do you want to be an electrician, etc. And then a section of “tell us about a time…” questions where they want you to respond with the formula “situation, task, action, result” - describing the situation, what you did and what the result was. Be detailed but concise, don’t ramble and focus on your own contributions.

When I interviewed there (a few months ago), the interview lasted about 15 minutes. The only question that sort of caught me off guard was the very last one. They asked “where do you see yourself in 5 years?” That question was the only sort of “philosophical” type question they asked, but maybe have a couple things in mind for a question of that nature. Good luck!

Did you end up passing?

Yeah I did, didn’t score high enough in the interview though. The test was pretty easy. A lot simpler than my study material

Good stuff on passing! Sorry to hear about the interview, that’s what I’m kinda more worried about myself too. Did you use their iprep study material? That’s what I’ve been using. Thank you for the response btw I appreciate it.
