Has anyone taken Sear’s Basic Electrical test the give when you apply for a job?
I am supposed to take the test in a couple of days and would like a few pointers. What can I expect? The e-mail I received said it could last 1 ½ hours.
Do I need to know how to add up ohms and amps in circuits?
Most importantly what should I study?
Thanks a bunch, great forum and community!

Covers all the basics of electrical theory. Test covers the following:
How electricity is produced.
Direct current & Ohms Law.
Parallel & Combination circuits.
Transformers.
Motors.
Household Electrical.
Diodes/Rectifiers.
Meter Fundamentals.
Safe Work Practices.
And, if I remember correctly, schematic/tech sheet reading...

Yes, you should study. The failure rate is real high. Plus you will get a drug test if you pass the exam.
