- I go over the first part of the study guide for math put out by local union 11. These are practice math problems to prepare for any union math entry exam. Electrician apprenticeship aptitude test. Some tips and tricks to make you successful on these types of union aptitude tests. Practice problems for the IBEW exam.
This was an awesome entry! As much as I love history I recognize much of it is Eurocentric and very “pop history”-y so having a digestible entry to Iran is so excellent!
I’d love to see more!
Ok
Thank you for posting this, super helpful! Can’t wait for the second part!!
Glad it is helping
Most of the questions here were on the test i took couple years ago, but this only 1/3 of the math question. 2/3 of the other are the harder problems , lot of words problem, like works problems, age word problems. Those are hard to translate to number, so study those too
Good advice
I think it was 36*2/3= 24
Thank you for this, I take my aptitude next week. Wish me luck!
Good luck
Did you pass?
@@AndresG_tesla yessir. I started my the program about 3 weeks ago
@@OscarRodriguez-wt3nb what did you use to study?
Hey how hard was the test?
I’m prepping for WECA apprenticeship test lol I hope the math is this easy as the IBEW HAHA
These are just sample problems, check ✅ n with your local for an actual practice exam
Took the test, this doesn't compare to the test. They had plug in pemdas problems, insane graphs far from my understanding, number pattern, ect. Very tough when you are timed.
Good feedback, thank you
What local bro ?
@@avstin1 In Oregon. Trying to become an indoor electrician but my reading stinks.
@@I_love_electricity did you pass
I failed my test couple years ago when I tried had a dramatic brain injury and shouldn’t really have taken it at that time. But I definitely want to get back into it and your videos really help. I appreciate it and hopefully when I take it as a month or two after I studyat least an hour or two a day for the next month and a half I’ll pass, I failed the math part by two questions I think
Good luck
For number 13, I just divided by 3 instead of cross multiplying, in a different situation, would that be the wrong way to solve it? Did it only work when it’s a quarter, half or third?
That works
same lol, i was expecting him to do the same
#11 could you explain that some more it’s difficult to understand how you came to the answer
The problem is about unit conversions, soon as you have more then seven days you convert to weeks. Five weeks nine days when added together, I then have to convert that to full weeks and days. The nine days becomes one week 2 days.
Sorry for the very dumb question-but for question #13 how did You derive that it was 1/3 males in the class?I am 47 and have done zilch in decades and was always complete S#%T at Math in High school haha....dreaming of a IBEW apprenticeship...Thanks for all this
Good question. They give that 2/3 of the students are female so the rest must be males 1- 2/3 gets the 1/3
One really quick way I figured it out is look at the answers. Check what adds up to 36. The smaller one is the 1/3 “12” which it’s males. The bigger answer was for the 2/3 “24” which was the females. Saves a little bit of time for the rest of the test. Good luck. I test on the 16th of march.
@@tony2pac17 great way to solve
Appreciate this
Thank you
you are the best thank you
Thank you
this is great thank you so much
Thank you
How close is this to the actual IBEW?I know they must vary from year to year...thanks
It's representative of the types of problems on there. Not to close to the actual IBEW
@Tyler Potter do you have a link to a test? and I will make a video on it
@tylerpotter4927 How did the test go? I am taking the lineman aptitude test next Monday, and Ive also gone through the iprep and just finished that up and was wondering if it was pretty close to the same as you thought? thanks!
@@dillonhaslam2956how did it go? Did this video help?
I know that the first time when I tried it, like half of the whole math part was graphing, and the quadratics and whole numbers and missing numbers only counted for maybe the first 15 questions, the other 20 or 25 or all graphing. Best bet is to try to know everything, at least the correct formula way to start it
The aptitude test is all algebra. This won’t be very helpful when you take the actual test. Just being honest.
Good feedback
What local you take the test for bro?
@@ColfaxMath ehhh, do pre algebra and algebra 1 type problems?
@@Jay2tha206 OK, will do
I disagree I just took the test a few days ago it was more like how he’s teaching but each persons test is different so it’s best to study all round
Does anyone know if these types of questions appear on the test?
Similar style problems
Can you do the story problems
Sure do you have a copy you could send Me?
Anyone know if you can use a calculator for this test?
I would check in with your local
@@ColfaxMath ok thanks
Why is math important for electrical?
You need to understand ratios, measurements and being good with numbers really helps with this.
The language of electricity is math
@@ColfaxMath but how its just connecting a bunch of wires
@@gurshaanbasra3639 its not just connecting wires. youve got to know so much more. like for instance how many amps per volts could safely and adequately provide power per consumption. you need to know what things can take and transfer. like you dont want to power a home directly from a power line with out any type of stepdown. nor do you want to supply a specific draw with an improper rocker switch. nor do you want to supply a breaker with more amps than need to transfer voltage and you dont want to supply too many volts with not enough amps. different wires have different gauges and different gauges have different transfer requirements and limitations, especially when you need to transfer power over a distance
Dam I’m so cooked 😭😭
Keep studying, you can do it with some work
