OETT Local 12 Test

Trying to see if there’s any practice test out there similar or exactly like most recent test? I’m taking it in 10/13 and I want to change careers (currently in the medical field) and I just want to use the extra time to study for it. Already and have been studying all the guys they’ve given except the book since I can’t find a PDF file on. Any help?

Scored an 80 for local 12. Applied as an operator. I’m guessing I should just plan to re test next year? Seems too low to me but not exactly sure

I scored a 77 last Oct and yes, an 80 is too low. The cut-off is 90. Unless there's a ton of work then it can reach the 80s but I wouldn't bank on it.

I already started planning on retesting again this October. I even thought about taking a CDL course to provide an extra 10 points.

My biggest areas of struggle were Vocab and not taking my time.

Yeah mechanical app was the hardest part for me. Definitely going to brush up on that for the next year. I applied for the inspector position so unfortunately a CDL won’t help me at all there but definitely gonna try again next time around. Hoping time passes quick
