Aptitude Test Study Material
APTITUDE TEST: Applicants to the Hampton Roads JATC program must achieve a score of
“4” or higher on the electrical industry aptitude test battery. Developed and Validated by the American
Institutes for Research.
• For a comprehensive review of Algebra, the NJATC offers a Tech Math class through the University of
Tennessee This online math class is self-paced and starts off with whole numbers and works
through Boolean Algebra fundamentals. This class offers three main benefits:
1. Successful completion of the class satisfies the math requirement of algebra for the Inside Electrician apprenticeship
2. It offers good preparation for the aptitude test
3. The stronger your math foundation is, the less challenging the apprenticeship curriculum will be

It is suggested to review the topics covered by a College
Algebra class:
For some sample problems, see below:

• Systems of linear equations in two variables
   graphing method
   substitution method                                                                                                                                                             addition method
   applications
