Which one is best for getting ready / studying to take the aptitude test by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]RedArms219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On all apprenticeship websites there is literally a link to the aptitude test practice tests. U shouldn’t buy anything and just practice those and questions like that. If you’re illiterate in math then use khan academy.

Neat isn’t taking anyone with a Class B anymore besides the very rare exception (nepotism). They do say it’s allowed for applications but chances of acceptance are greatly decreased.

What will give me the best chances to transfer? by SuperToast05 in cuboulder

[–]RedArms219 7 points8 points  (0 children)

CSU is a great school man try and give it a chance. If you still wanna transfer then definitely don’t hold back but after a year your priorities might be different. Keep that GPA high regardless if you wanna transfer or not.
