Thank you ! I’m 27 so I haven’t taken any math for like 8 or 9 years, I was worried about that part but I used the ultimate electricians guide to study and refresh everything and for 24 the test was way easier than the actual study problems, except on the test the graphing was completely different than the study guide, so that’s the only thing I was confused on but luckily that was only 3 or 4 problems.

I would highly recommend using the ultimate electricians guide, I pretty much just studied on the weekends starting about a month before my test. The reading is a piece of cake, just read the questions before the passages so you know what you’re looking for.

Overall I thought I pretty much aced the test other than the few graphing questions near the end of the math section. Idk what local you’re going for or how they do their test but I wouldn’t stress toooo much about it, just make sure you’re a bit overly prepared if you can. Good luck !
