I hope this video helps you out and if you liked it please subscribe. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you.
This is very close to what is on the apprenticeship test. You also have numerical reasoning on it and Algebra. Study this video along with what I just added and also start studying on the reading comprehension as well.
@@anthonyrivas3523 good stuff bro! Really hope you get in. Just FYI its super slow right now, people are actually getting laid off from my understanding. Apparently it's like the slowest since 2008 so unfortunately all the apprentices in my class haven't even been appointed a contractor yet smh
UPDATE: I am currently working with a contractor through IBEW Local 124 and I am really enjoying the work so far. I will make an update video sometime in the near future going into more detail.
just got accepted into local 136, and this video was the closest thing I could find to being exactly like the test. I was never good at math but ended up scoring 8/9 after watching this video and practicing the problems shown.
I’m about to help someone study for this. Two corrections. The Q= problem #4. Also the graph for y = 1/3x should go through (0,0) Overall. Good practice thanks
Great video! Do you think Khan academy is a good learning resource for trying to re learn math? I’m trying to get into IBEW local 357 in Vegas but I’m EXTREMELY TERRIBLE at math and I mean like 3rd grade math level, (which are the courses I’m currently taking on khan academy FYI) but will khan academy help me reach like college algebra type of math? I also heard that there is some geometry on these and trig but I’m not sure if that’s true. Need a lot of advice 😅
The math for first year apprentices doesn't get too difficult, khan academy is prolly a good way to freshen up math skills, algebra 1 is what you'd need to learn the basics of before you take an aptitude test I'd say
My aptitude test for local 164 was so much harder than this, barely any foil method problems, barely any linear equation problems either, just insane quadratic formulas shit caught me so off guard. The number patter were extremely easy tho. We didn’t even get scrap paper to do our work
Thanks for the video man. I have to relearn math on a 2 week notice for the aptitude test and this video made relearning math feel a lot less intimidating.
Guys this kinda of math problems were on the test, along with "if G is positive and greater than 2 then H will be? A:Negative, stay the same, positive, ect" I honestly think i didn't do good(math section). I think the test questions varies from the apprenticeship if you decide to take example if you take outside wireman/lineman, residential wireman, HVAC, tele communications, test then it'll be different.
Hey bro would you mind if we spoke through text or phone. I’m really serious about passing the test but have a bunch of questions for ya. If you don’t mind.
@@shakproot thank you in advance my good man. I’m going for the test on the 25th, still got some time to rebrush on my math skills. Now, the study guide I was given was similar to the problems you had stated on your video. The real question is … how hard are the problems. Is it really mostly (y=mx+b) type of problems with some evaluation of expressions. I just feel like theres so many videos on this ibew test topic that I almost feel as if im misinforming with self. But tbh you’re video and what you’re stating sounds the most realistic to me.
I’m just really trying to figure out exactly what problems and solutions to study for. Rather than going nuts learning how to factor and work with polynomials again.
@@BGE94 yeah I gotcha, for my Local 124 math test, there were 2 very very easy math problems per math topic. So in the video I went over like 4 different math "topics" that are 100% going to be in the test, you will see about 2 questions per topic that are very very easy and then the rest you kinda have to think for.
I used Khan Academy to brush up on my math, but at the time, I had just recently taken a College Algebra class, so I was alright on my math pretty much
The examples in the video are very accurate to what you'll see, the questions will be harder though so make sure you understand the concept of the math
I read one of your comments that you studied Khan Academy. I was wondering if you could clarify what modules you studied on Khan Academy. At the moment I am studying the pre algebra, and Algebra 1!
@@James_dtfllc no sir, the math does not get that complex, the hardest it gets, in my opinion, is when it wants you to interpret graphs like what the equation for the graph is and what equation makes the graph
on question 4 did you make it up? cause my math must be wrong if that was a question on your test. my assumption is that it is QTB = MA + ZQ/Y because you multiple both fractions by Q. if im wrong please let me know I'm nervous on failing the test. nonetheless thanks for sharing
It seems like you know what you're doing, you'll be fine on the math portion, just make sure you know how to interpret graphs and equations that relate to graphs
I bought the gan pdf study guide for the aptitude test and thought it would help but they don't mention some things like functions and graphs so I'm stressing out cramming everything before my test I appreciate your quick response 🙏
@@z1lla4 you're gonna be all good, no need to stress, just be ready for these problems to show up and remember how you solved them and you'll be all good
For me, all I had to do was freshen up my math skills, but for the apprenticeship in general if you don't get in the first time then take classes pertaining to the electrical field. At MCC Penn Valley, they have a bunch of INTE electrical classes to choose from
Thanks for your video. My aptitude test is on the 25th for local 124! Just a quick question, did you see Any compound interest questions? like for example, job has 5$ in a bank. if he has a interest rate of 5%, how much money will he have in 3 years? Thanks for your help!
@@josiahcarter2474 I'm gonna say no on converting percentages into fractions, but I don't fully remember. I would say just study that a tiny bit just in case
I'd say just make sure you know how to move around variables (letters) in an equation and know how to interpret a graph and what its points or slope are
The English section was pretty easy for me, some say it's difficult, I'd say to make sure and take your time to understand what you're reading, I read slowly and had way enough time
I'm rockin my composite toe Sketchers boots that I got for free when I worked at Amazon😂😂 yeah I've been joked around with for wearing sketchers but it's all for fun
I'd say it depends on what shop you get contracted to work through, I'm with North Kansas City Electric and I think they are a perfect fit for me cuz F goin to a big shop to be on jobs with 1,200 other electricians
Quick question. For problem #3, do you have numbers that replace those letters or is that how they appear. Example: m=sl+n / q Solve for q … Is there numbers involved or is that formulas you have to be aware of to understand and resolve
Very accurate, I took the tests and this covers, in basic terms, what you'll see on the math test. The problems on the test will be more difficult, but if you can grasp how to do each math section in the video, you'll be all good on the test
ya that is really annoying.. i hope there aren't any questions like that... it just makes no sense to need to know how to move letters around.. give me numbers dammit!!
If you guys want to be over prepared, buy the iPrep IBEW aptitude test study course. Worth the money with plenty of practice tests and video explanations.
Unfortunately I have not been accepted into IBEW, I am currently in college trying to get a certificate towards electrical applications so someone will be more interested to higher me.
@Arthur Chavez , it also depends on the demand of available spots to become an apprentice, right now there's a growing demand so hopefully, since I just did my reinterview, I'll get in this time around
