- It’s a practice test, not the official exam. The real IBEW aptitude test is scored 1–9, and most locals require at least a 4 to qualify for an interview. See IBEW aptitude test score requirements.
- The people counted chose to practice. Applicants who look for prep tend to be more prepared than the average applicant, so treat the average as a bar to beat, not a floor.
- Only finished tests count. A test is counted when the taker reaches the score screen and enters an email. We don’t record section-level scores yet, so this page doesn’t report them.
