What kind of math is on the aptitude test, and how did you study?

Asked by Flushing.sparks · Sep 18

Getting ready for the Local 3 application whenever it opens next. I'm okay at math but not great. What was actually on the aptitude test when you took it? Algebra? Reading? Mechanical stuff? And what did you use to study? My shop teacher has an old practice packet but it's from like 2015 and half the pages are photocopies of photocopies.

I'm in New Jersey and haven't taken one yet, but our shop teacher in Wayne had us do practice algebra and reading comprehension out of a library book for civil service and apprenticeship tests. I'm over-explaining, but the library route is free, which my parents appreciated.
