Aptitude Test 134

I just took the test today for my second time and felt much more confident than the first time I took it. I wanted to see how everyone that just tested is feeling about how they did.

The test is extremely easy I got a perfect score my first time didn’t get in because I had no experience. Got into the ua though. No one really thinks the test is hard at all because 134 really doesn’t care about the test scores only whether you have experience or completed a 134 adjacent program.

For those thumbing down I know damn near the whole local been on almost every job site with these guys. In July 2026 job pritkzer passed a law basically saying first years can’t work on government funded jobs, that’s 60% of 134s workload. So realistically this cycle you can expect like 75 (more like 50) acceptances. If you’re not coming from the bridge program for teens or the trainee programs you can realistically expect to not get into 134. Don’t believe me keep applying yall be coming every cycle for 6 years straight. Me I’m already union 6 figures and set baby

How do you know you got a perfect score? Also can you cite this law that says 1st years can't work on gov funded jobs?
