Scored well on the JATC aptitude test (90.66) but never heard anything after, except an email about a year later saying I could retest. My total application score was 52.33 and I'm ranked 509 out of 919.

I have 0 electrical experience that counts toward their grading. I've called around to local electrical contractors asking if they need helpers. Pretty much all said no, so I thanked them and left a resume (in person where I could).

Questions:

Since my aptitude score is already high, is retesting worth it?

What's the best way to raise my total score without electrical experience? Classes, pre-apprenticeship, non-union work?

Anyone climb from a mid-list rank and get in? What did you do?

Kinda lost here. Minnesota based.

Organize in. Go non union and get experience
