Today is Feb 15, 2023. Applied to Local 467 and did my Math Aptitude Test today. Passed with 41/50 questions. It was a mix of Addiction, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, and Most Importantly, Fractions. Study real hard on those fractions. It also asks for what type of tools are used in certain trades so make sure you look into that too. My interview is scheduled 3-4 weeks from now. Anybody have any questions let me know. And yes they gave us calculators too. Wish y’all the best of luck.

Passed two tests on my GED didn’t graduate HS because no matter how much I did they failed me, they do with children who have an IEP. Anyway the last two tests I have is Math and Science. I already failed the math twice and have one chance on it, I failed science left and have two tries left. I scheduled a test for the 28th of this month. And now seeing this I realize I will never get into the Union as a plumber. That’s all I wanted to do. But I’m literally retarted when it comes to math. I can’t even do the simplest addition or subtractions without having to count on my fingers. So good luck to anybody that can do this and get it done. Lemme know how it is being a union plumber or welder, pipe fitter, boilermaker. Good luck. I’m out.

Multiply the numerator and the denominator of the smaller fraction, in this case 3/4, so that you can get the lowest common denominator, in this case it would be the denominator of the larger fraction, 7/8. So you multiply 3/4 by 2 on both sides. 3*2 and 4*2 giving you 6/8. Now that the smaller fraction matches the larger fraction you simply subtract the whole numbers 10-4=6 and subtract the numerator of both fractions 7-6=1. The denominator stays as 8 so your fraction is 1/8 and you're final answer is 6 1/8.

You can buy a practice exam at the office when you go apply initially. They will give you a date for the exam usually a few months after applying it costs 10 dollars or so. It's almost identical to the real test.

I hear you, however many folks can do quick calculations in the field. The reason it is important is that you can check the calculator with quick mental calculations and not blow something up. If all you use is a calculator you can't use common sense to see if it makes sense or not.
