Just want to say thank you for this video, it helped me refresh all of my math skills quickly in preparation for my apprenticeship test and I got in! 🎉
@@ShizPhilly hey can you help or out give me some insights on what to prepare for I have the same exam this month on the 24th and would love to change life around and get In
I wanted to thank you for the math videos you posted. I haven’t done math in quite a long time. Watching your videos was a great help. You explained everything really well and made it simple. Because of your videos, it helped me pass my Elevator Apprentice test. Thanks you!!
I’m doing this exact prep guide for my exam in 3 weeks . Some of the answers online are incorrect and it messed with my head on how they got those answers. But your techniques are great and straightforward.
Good video. Thanks for posting. Do you have videos on rounding and estimating as a quick way to see if you are in the ballpark? Also casting out of nines as a rapid way to check addition and multiplication.
I’m taking this in April aswell and was wondering if this is what I need to follow up on or the Barrons book is broad so it’s hard to focus on one area
Please correct me if I am wrong the answer for G on the second ruler shown. You wrote down the answer for G=1 9/16" is that correct ? Or was it supposed to be G=2 9/16"? The letter G was marked after the number 2 on the ruler but you put it down as 1 9/16" was that an error, or am I not understanding it? Please clarify
@@ColfaxMath just an update: I nailed that aptitude test with 98% scoring higher than anyone else in the intake. Thank you so much for the video, breaking down the long division and multiplication was a HUGE tip. I'm now a member of the union thanks to the help I got from this
@@joshualedwell3954 I'm taking mine this friday. The test admin should've given you a list of material to study for the test. At least mine did. This covers a lot of what's on the test, but I would double check with your employer to see. I'm through the Union and they have other things to study for that'll be on my test, so be sure to branch out as much as necessary to get in! Good luck!
im curious why the answer sheet shows improper factoring answers but yet the sheet dosnt ask you to turn them into that also you dont do improper fractions either im confused ? please help i have a test coming up in 3 days
I tried to take the elevator union test and the test was incredibly hard. Are all the test really the same? I was going to try Hvac. I studied for ages and bought books and still did not pass.
They are similar but I don't know them all. I have a foundations of math course as a playlist on my channel. That you can go through to solidify your math understanding
Hey Col. Thanks for the math refresher. I appreciate it. By anychance, do you have any algebra? Tomorrow, I'll go ahead and follow along with a paper and pencil. It was like a light bulb moment when you said some stuff... then, I was like oh wow. I actually remember that. So just gonna practice some more tomorrow. Thanks for sharing. Aloha, Davina
@ColfaxMath Still at it somewhat. Any advice as to what I should focus on? I've checked reddit, but nothing like asking someone directly compared to peaking at other folks' convos

Hey taking the ironworkers aptitude test on the 20th for the Indianapolis local. Been watching this religiously think this is all I need?
You can't study too much
2 9/16. Shows me to be careful and not to make little mistakes like this on the test.
Slow and thorough
Shouldn't it have been 2 and 9/16's for G on the measuring tape?
NVM you caught it!
Good thank you
Good video. Thanks for posting. Do you have videos on rounding and estimating as a quick way to see if you are in the ballpark? Also casting out of nines as a rapid way to check addition and multiplication.
I'll work on making one
I need help with the hvac apprentice test in New Jersey. Any suggestions UA local 9 😢
Contact them directly for practice exams
I’m taking my exam April this video was done years ago do you guys think this algrebra would still apply to my exam or do the switch it up
yes
I’m taking this in April aswell and was wondering if this is what I need to follow up on or the Barrons book is broad so it’s hard to focus on one area
Great video. Would this apply to steamfitters and pipefitters union?
Yes, pretty similar

Lol spoke to soon I see you corrected it! Thanks !!
Just got booked for an aptitude test for the Local Sheet Union workers association - hoping this is what's close to what I see on test!
Good luck, all the math exams are pretty similar
@@ColfaxMath Thank you very much! Watching you do long division helped jog my memory, fantastic video! 😁

@@davethescrub858 Fantastic to hear!
@@davethescrub858 What trade was it for if I may ask? I'm studying to take my HVAC/sheet metal test
Would this apply for hvac/sheet metal ? My test is tomorrow morning and I’ve been over 3 practice tests. Thank you and great video
Good luck!
Was it similar?
Was it similar man?

i could be totally wrong but for 10c isnt the answer 1 4/9?
I think I got it right
@@ColfaxMath you didn't do it though?
im curious why the answer sheet shows improper factoring answers but yet the sheet dosnt ask you to turn them into that also you dont do improper fractions either im confused ? please help i have a test coming up in 3 days
I'll try and do a video on improper fractions and mixed numbers
do you have more study guides?
Yes, I'll keep on working on it
Other than math, else should one expect on a local 20 sheet worker test?
Check in with your local, they should.have some study materials

Will this be a good review for local apprentice test
Yes, the more math the better
@@ColfaxMath thankyou I’m just looking for some last minute practice tests before local 30 test tomorrow thankyou for the great video
@@anthonymineo6781 How did it go?
Is this similar to the heat and frost insulation test??
Not sure
Does this apply to stationary engineer test?
Not too sure probably similar
Excellent 🐺💪🏽
Thank you
Great video. Thank you for sharing that link. I will apply to Local 15 Engineers soon. 🙏🏻
Good.luck
@@ColfaxMath Thank you!
Im applying to be an heavy equupment operator do you know if this will pertain to the math assesment test?
Yes all the standardized math tests are similar
@@ColfaxMath thank you very much sir
Hey is this similar to the tests in Alberta for boilermakers?
I'm not sure, most union entry exams are all pretty similar. Check with your local
Is this the kind of stuff you would see on a welding apprenticeship aptitude test?
Most of the standardized math exams are all the same. If not exactly the same pretty close

Thanks Davina, yes there are some Algebra videos on my channel
Thanks!
Thank you
min 3:09 wasn't it supposed to be 2 9/16"?
I think I got that right
The answer on question 2e is wrong in the answer key I think.
Ok
Or does it work for Ironworker
Similar
Is this how apprenticeship test looks. Are the problems similar?
Depends on the apprenticeship but most are similar to this
Sheet metal smart
Is this similar to stationary engineer apprenticeships math test look like?
Haven't done any real math in decades. This reminds me why I just work BS jobs.
Never too late
@ColfaxMath Still at it somewhat. Any advice as to what I should focus on? I've checked reddit, but nothing like asking someone directly compared to peaking at other folks' convos
@@ceavalencia4767 start at the beginning of basic math, once that makes sense, move forward from there.
Apprentice for what trade?
Most trades
Is this for glaziers as well ?
Not sure
in the second part doing 16th of inch, I thought the answer would be 2 9/16th of an inch
never mind seen you corrected it ...lol
glad you saw it
Can I have the link so I can download
The link is on the description
Test answers 2E, 9D, 10C are wrong on the PDF
Thanks for that .9d was killing me . I brought the problem to a math teacher and they came up with the answer I came up with 6. 29/32.
@@jonathanlopez4026 thank god. im not the only one lol
I was so stressed out !! Thanks bro
The answer for 9-D is wrong. I got 6 29/32.
Ok
Would you have a example for Iuoe local 30 apprenticeship math exam study guide as well?
Hi It’s a stationary engineer math exam. I really don’t know where to start in mathematics.
I'll look for one and try and get a video out by this Friday
@@ColfaxMath thank you!
@@ColfaxMath any update on the study guide

Can anyone tell me if this is for Ironworker
Not sure but the math is pretty similar on all the union entry tests
But is there like algebra or trigonometry or it’s all basic math
The test isn't that easy
No it's not
