i got a question for you so do you go through training before you take the test like so many hours? or do you have to take the test in order to get in to be able to do the training? cause mines coming up and i gotta turn like transcript and stuff in and i’m alittle nervous if i have to take a test right then and there
Im 27 now and graduated HS at 18, I took honors and AP math classes high school finished with calculus and dabbled into some statistics but even then I don’t remember much of this crap…also took calc for a semester in my 1st year of college…hope this helps
I'm 27 too class of '14 but math has always been by far my weakest subject, thankfully I got a C in Algebra back then, but I struggle with just division today
if you have ANY questions (and you will if you havent taken it before) about wether or not a specific part of algebra is covered in the test you should just restudy ALL of algebra. thats what im doing. bought high school algebra 1 and 2 books off ebay and im straight up studying, testing, grading myself and then restudying, retesting, and regrading on all sections I dont ace until I do. trust me i am an extremely intelligent 37 year old grown ass man and i STILL get anywhere between 70% to 100% right answers AFTER i study and take detailed notes on each section. and i get 100% the first time about 5% of the time. i almost always get something wrong because of some inaccurate assumption or minor detail ive forgotten or never learned. and even the smallest mistake early on will WRECK every single future attempt at figuring anything out cause algebra uses everything you'll learn all the time and it only gets more and more complicated. also, you CANNOT afford ANY mistakes on the simple sh!t now when youre safe behind a screen when they'll K!LL you when handling electricity. and you will not be able to depend on your phone figuring sh!t out for you very often, especially out in the field or when your hands are full of god knows what. so forget about wether or not youll pass this test. if you arent perfect with your math youre gonna f@%king die extremely painfully one day down the line or blow up sombody's $500,000 dohickey or thingamabob and you're not gonna be allowed to just not pay that lmfao. their insurance WILL sue you and you WILL lose. and besides, if you dont thoroughly know even the most basic algebra before you start taking those college classes the union is paying you to take (that IS what your apprenticeship is supposed to do after all...), how you think THAT'S gonna go? practice the simple sh!t now until you can score a perfect test so the ACTUAL math later on doesnt stress you out as much. cause it will. so do what im doing and just master ALL of algebra now and make at least some of your college classes REALLY easy so you can focus on studying the even harder sh!t for longer. cause that union is NOT gonna waste more tuition on your @ss if you fail or drop out. and youre not gonna be a well paid electrician without being in the IBEW or getting REALLY lucky with a decent employer but fat chance of that lol. and youre not gonna be able to spend all that sweet union money if you're f@%king dead or owe a fortune in damages.
I have 2 questions. In analyzing functions around minute 17:03 we realize answer C is correct and do not go on to see about answer D. I believe both are correct so would it matter which one was chosen? Also, around 18:39 we are solving for 3x > 4 and the result on the screen is x > 3/4. Is that just a typo and meant to be x > 4/3 ? I havent done algebra in over 10 years so if im missing something i wouldnt be surprised
Hi For the first one D cannot be the answer cause lets say if we go with option D which says if D is greater than -3, E is positive - so in that case for the equation I can assume D = -2 (which is greater than -3). so 3D = E -3 ==> -6 = E - 3 ==> -6+3 = E ==> -3 = E which mean E is not positive hence statement D is not true.. ... Yes the other one is typo.. thanks for calling it out...
Im genuinely asking because im curious, but is this really most of the test? This was all easy stuff to me, and im really stressed about the test tbh. I feel like this isnt close to how the test is but if it is then i might be ok
@@bahrozso they allow you to skip the test to get into the Union if you take the math tech course prior? I had to go take an algebra class in college but I’m pretty positive I still need to take the Union test
@@DemoSpar they have sample questions but no free test… all I can say is that I highly advise you practice if not this then may be some other… however I have tried them out and they happen to be the best at this value…
This is a good suggestion. The first round of shell is a video interview. It would be great if you could give some sample responses to those questions.
It went great. I think I did well. The reading is pretty easy. As for the math portion you just gotta take a lot of practice tests so you can be prepared.

Wish it wasn’t just a few questions and that the full practice test wasn’t hid behind a paywall.
@@TraitorPotater yup it’s paid… but it’s very good if you need practice…
@@bahroz in any case I appreciate the video. Been out of school for 8 years now so I needed the refresher.
@@TraitorPotater glad it helped
I’m going to study.. 2 months before my test! Third time is the charm 🎉

What local did you apply for?
May the best man win 🤝😠
@@jakearellano8453 what local?
Hope you guys made it
My test is next Thursday thank you so much for your teaching!
Best of luck

Looks like I need to go back to school, I don't remember any of this.. Graduated high school in 2008 😳
Hope the video helps
Khan's academy is free and has everything from 5th grade to college stuff lol goodluck
Thank you very much freind, very helpful.!
Glad you found it useful
Thank you very much
This helped refresh my memory! thank you
Glad to be of help
Who’s here to take the test in Philly June 29th
Me I studied though
They got me going to the navy yard this time around
Me hahaha
taking it tmr
Is their anyway you can post more practice I took the test and this is what exactly was on the test
Stay tuned … but I do recommend you try out the practice test that I recommend… link in description of the video

All you need is a week of practice and you should be back at acing it

@@DogsCoffeeNJesus practice for one week and you will feel a difference in skill

practice the simple sh!t now until you can score a perfect test so the ACTUAL math later on doesnt stress you out as much. cause it will.
so do what im doing and just master ALL of algebra now and make at least some of your college classes REALLY easy so you can focus on studying the even harder sh!t for longer.
cause that union is NOT gonna waste more tuition on your @ss if you fail or drop out. and youre not gonna be a well paid electrician without being in the IBEW or getting REALLY lucky with a decent employer but fat chance of that lol. and youre not gonna be able to spend all that sweet union money if you're f@%king dead or owe a fortune in damages.
Thanks… love that comment
Followed everything perfectly up until 8:02 idk wtf is going on there
Is this the updated version of the test or the old one
It’s the latest version for math questions only
@@bahroz ok thank you so much for the reply and confirmation will definitely be getting it !

@bahroz should I always use the number just before or just after like you used -2 but I went with a positive 2 and got a positive number still.
Why isnt most of these math problems not in the GAN study guide ?
its not in my packet either idk if this one is for chicagos test
Thank you Mr. Abbas
I have a question my test is tmmr, it is all multiply choice ?
Yes multiple choice
hi does all this apply for the test in chicago? bc its not in my study guide packet
Yes
Did you take the test? And did you get in?
Do you have to write out the whole Algebraic equation on your notes? Do you turn your notes in?
Nope you don’t need to write (although it’s better to get to write answer) and hence no need to turn in any notes
Awesome, thank you. I tend to skip steps I know the answer too. Your way is the most efficient way though.
Im genuinely asking because im curious, but is this really most of the test? This was all easy stuff to me, and im really stressed about the test tbh. I feel like this isnt close to how the test is but if it is then i might be ok
This is just the math part there is a verbal part as well
The math solution at 19:47... 😟
What about it ?
I’m currently taking the Tech Math course online. Do they give you another exam when you go in person there?
No they won’t
@@bahrozso they allow you to skip the test to get into the Union if you take the math tech course prior? I had to go take an algebra class in college but I’m pretty positive I still need to take the Union test
Is there a test that isnt 50 a month? Just want to practice? I have to pay for that?

Hi, do you have any videos on Shell company interviews?
I’ll add it to my list don’t have it yet.. but will get a video made on it.. do keep subscribed
This is a good suggestion. The first round of shell is a video interview. It would be great if you could give some sample responses to those questions.
@@aceakshay9444 is it a recorded video interview? Do you know what are those questions?
Test in 5 hours 😅
Best of luck.. make sure you do practice sample tests before that..

How’d it go, I got my test is tomorrow. I want to know if I am prepared
It went great. I think I did well. The reading is pretty easy. As for the math portion you just gotta take a lot of practice tests so you can be prepared.
@@kamara6392 doing test next week in canada......what math was on the test?
you are very unclear and hard to understand, your own way of teaching does not work for everybody.
