Just took it. Thanks to this video I got a 99%. Anyone stressing out about this test don't. Think like a supervisor. I wanna hire someone I can throw into this position and never have to worry about the job getting done or complaints about my hire. If you use that thought process answering the questions they are easy.
Watched this and got a 98. From start to finish, it took me 2 and a half weeks to pass all requirements. and another 2 weeks till the first day of orientation. Took a test and got 98. 5 days later was sent MVR for my driving record, and two days later sent 3 job offers. Two days later sent background check info on a Thursday, and the following Monday did fingerprints. It took 1 week to get approval that I passed background everything. Just waiting for 8/16/23 to start can't wait! Good luck everyone
Are these videos the actual test questions and answers that you took? I am taking mine tomorrow, 10/14/2024. If they are different, do you have a link to the newest test? Thanks in advance for your help.
There's new questions. The first section only had half of these questions with a total of 10 questions. One of which concerned an aggressive dog. I'm the "third" section, which was the fourth section, there was a consistent theme of "do you act the same way with everyone or do you alter how you act based off of who the people are/the audience." I don't know what the right answers are, but i still passed, but only at a 93.
Yup, I took the test a week ago & can corroborate what you said. I knew that it had been changed, so a few days beforehand, I printed out all of the questions & answers from USPS Mac's three videos & studied them hard in a bid to deduce all of the concepts underlying how the "correct" answers for the previous questions were determined. Thankfully, I still managed to come away with a 98. Don't get down on yourself: 93 is still a very good score. Most applicants probably aren't preparing much, if at all, & I'm guessing the median score for 474 test-takers in general is well below 90. I've also read that more people are failing the 474 than the 473E (the previous exam that's been retired). If you apply to all vacancies within an hours' commute from your place, chances are pretty good that you'll still receive a job offer, especially if you apply to larger post offices where they're looking to hire at least 2-3 new employees. People still get hired with scores in the 80's & sometimes even 70's if the need is high enough. Just stay the course & you'll get there.
These are tricky questions and I would have picked some differently that you did. Would be nice to have an explanation of why you picked the Most Likely options versus another option which seemed like a good answer. I don't understand the thought process.
I changed a few answers and got 100% on the 474 and 477! Some tips to help others: Don’t go to the sup for anything lol Don’t bother them. Some of these give you two options - you go to the sup directly or ask the customer if they want to talk to the sup. The customer may or may not spend their time talking to the sup…but it’s worse if *you* go to them. They want you to figure it out on your own. Assisting customers and coworkers - remember your time is valuable and you’re gonna be busy. First you give verbal instructions, THEN show the person if they’re still having trouble. Be a team player; if a coworker is struggling, don’t leave them to figure it out on their own. Don’t wait for them to ask you for help. Explain what to do, then assist with the task if verbal instructions weren’t enough. This is a customer service role. Think about how YOU want to be treated by customer service. You don’t want to be told there’s nothing more to be done, that’s not my job, you’re lying, it’s the customers responsibility. You don’t want to hear that and neither do your customers. But it’s still worse to ask your sup! 😂 also this test is for a carrier position…customer service at the post office is there to help the customer with answers you don’t have. As for the personality stuff = be optimistic, thrive in stressful situations/fast paced environments, go above and beyond your minimal work requirements, set the highest goals for yourself, be aware of how others are feeling, hard work = success. HTH
I just took the test still having a hard time knowing if I passed website is not user friendly unless I’m overlooking my results but fingers crossed I will keep y’all posted
Any reason why you put mail "processing clerk" on the video? Lol I apparently failed the test I took a few months ago, even though I was a carrier for years 😆 (I want to go back) postmaster just told me to use a different email. I'm anxious to take it again
@@original_USA_cowgirl I got a 95%. I watched a few mins of the question part of video and got the gist of it. The right answers have to be the same, since they reword the questions. Lol the last time I took it, I now see that I was all over the place lol
@@OaxKidI got a 98 on 09/04 & yesterday received a request for consent for a background check. My application status is already in "Offer Phase (EXT)". This isn't for a CCA position, but rather, an opportunity to get hired straight away as a regular City Letter Carrier. I'm so grateful to USPS Mac, as I doubt I would've had this opportunity without his help. 😊
Yep!! They've redesigned the entire thing! Just took it, totally panicked when brand new M/L (Most Likely/Least Likely) questions were being thrown at me! I just sucked it up and got through it and got an 89, wished I had screen recorded it though
@uspsmac Thanks man! Can you or anyone who got an interview with USPS after taking the test give any insight on what questions and what the in person interview is like? Thanks!
So does USPS ask you to go get a copy of your driving record? I figured one government agency could just go through HR to get that from another government agency
@@mfernandes21 With the newest version of the test, they have some of the same questions (in different order), but a lot of new ones, as well. Don't despair, though: if you study the known answers & deduce the basic concepts underlying how they score this test, you should be able to answer the new questions effectively, as well. I completed the exam four days ago & still managed to secure a 98.
No, they don't. I wouldn't consider this a college-friendly job, unless you're willing to just work Sundays as an Assistant Rural Carrier (ARC) (NOT to be confused with RCA: Rural Carrier Associate).

@peggytysinger68 Honestly, I just copied my resume for a lot of the work questions. But I did notice when I was doing my test that some of the questions were in a different order than in the video.
Hello how long does it takes to retake exam 474? Didn't pass the regular City Carrier but applied for City Carrier Assistant and on the Hire-list. What will happened since I didn't pass the exam 474 ?
From what I understand, you would have to wait a year after failing the exam to reapply. However, on Reddit someone stated as long as you create a new account with a different email address you can reapply without waiting a year.
One year for retesting. Luckily, it appears you're already 11 months into that wait time. Even though the test is a bit different now, this video series will still help you achieve a high score if you study how Mac answers each question. I printed out the questions & answers, them wrote down different underlying patterns I identified, & when I applied those concepts to the new test last month, I still came away with a 98, which was enough to snag job offers at all of my top three offices.
fairly sure as far as the 474 exam is concerned, it only actually tracks whatever email you used to apply. if you make another email and apply with that you can get through, i doubt an actual person even puts eyes on your application until you get past the automated exam-filter. nobody at the USPS gives two fucks about this 474 exam, especially if your in a remotely large town/city where they're dying for carriers, just don't falsify information on your actual application. these bs personality test things are an incredibly stupid way to automate out applicants for an agency with as many personnel shortages as the USPS.
Based upon old experiences from applying to CCA positions in the northern suburbs of Chicago back in 2016/2017, it usually takes between 1-2 months to be contacted. A few took nearly three months.

It's a subtle difference, but it matters. -When faced with situations of coworkers struggling, select the answers that involve you trying to be helpful but that take minimal time. For example: instead of offering to do some of your coworker's work for them, choose the option that involves giving quick tips. They want somebody who's team-oriented but ultimately most focused on independently getting their own work done as efficiently as possible. I know, it's somewhat paradoxical. Hope this helps!
I just took the 476 test and scored a 99. The key is don't waste too much time on the exam and on 1 particular question. Answer as quickly as possible. They want to know how fast you can get through it. Although you have 35/45 min DO NOT take that much time up on it. I took it and was finished within about 10/15 min. Go through it fast..... You'll be fine. It's easy though!
