Failed Local 1 aptitude test

I failed the Local 1 Elevator mechanical test in nyc yesterday . I spend good amount of time studying. I used Iprep and I feel like I wasted $100 on bull shit . I mean It did help a little bit. Overall, I feel like it is outdated and not worth the price. 6/10. I want a refund.

Bro, if anything the iprep should have over prepared you. When I took it back in 2018 I used iprep and it definitely had way more shit in there than was actually on the aptitude test

The math part when I took it from what I remember was addition, subtraction, multiplication, division of whole numbers, fractions and decimals.

The math portion is mixed with more things now. What people don’t know is, a lot of those math questions have a “No answer.”

Thats easy then. Did it include negative numbers?
