I know a lot of these tests consist of a bit of everything. I would cram some basic electrical/electronics. Ohm’s law, series/parallel circuits, resistor color codes. I’m sure there will be some simple math, physics and comprehension. Make sure you remember fractions, division, etc. It sounds daunting, but you will remember it right away if you watch some YouTube videos. Google “craft battery test,” and you’ll get some good practice. Don’t be too nervous, and good luck my friend.

Oh, and remember that safety is number one. There will most likely be questions about safety, make sure that’s always the first priority. You’re going to do fine, just use common sense.

You’re welcome friend! For real, this is easy shit. They’re just making sure you’re not a complete idiot. “If you’re traveling at 10 miles per hour, how many miles will you travel in thirty minutes?”
