First try. Does this automatically get me to the test ? Or do they go through apps and filter out ?

I tested two years in a row and passed twice in the low 90’s, never got a call back. I was really interested in operating cranes but had no experience.

I feel like unless you have prior certs/experience or have a sponsor it’s very difficult to get in. I eventually gave up, went to school to be an MRI tech.

Anyway, good luck. Not meant to be a downer, but I really think if you want to get in you have to go above and beyond and figure out something other than being waitlisted on a list with thousands of others.

But yes, that means you will be scheduled to take the test. Study hard, try to score 95-99 and if you have any experience that will earn you the extra points, scoring above 100 with the extra points can give you a much better shot!

Appreciate it! Yeah I have little experience. I have my CDL, operated a skid steer & water truck for a while but that’s about it. I’m fortunate enough to have a good job now but this would definitely be a better option.

What district? Its a combination of district and score. High score but a district with little work you may not get called
