      Jordan- congrats and best of luck moving forward... Anyhow, the Postal Service sent me an email yesterday asking me to submit my driver's license number, DOB, SS, etcetera. It's basically a check on my driving history since I put in for a RCA position here in Tampa.
      That said, is it safe to say that the background check has begun?

    @Mises85 7 лет назад +207

    I just took the test. Here is my advice for the memory part. First: They will give you a practice part to memorize that doesn't count towards anything. USE ALL OF THIS TIME because the the table they give for the practice one is the same for the real one. I wouldn't even bother trying to fill in the answer, just keep going over the table.
    For me, the first thing I memorized was whether the street was in A, B, or C. So you'll usually get 3 that are in 2 different rows (e.g. A and C) and 2 that are in 1 row only. Memorize the ones that have two first. If you can't remember all the numbers, here is a way to remember just 3 numbers. Say you get Cleveland Rd. 3001-4999 in A and 5000-8742 in C. Just remember 5000 : If it's over 5000 put C, under put A. Do this for each road that appears in two rows. If you do this plus remember the 2 that are only in 1 row and put that row each time they come up, you will get at least 60% or more even. D will not come up that often (and half the time it came up, it was a road that wasn't on the list) so if it's a struggle for you, don't bother with the limits (e.g. 3001 and 8742 for the example above).If memory doesn't come natural to you or you don't have a method and practice, trying to remember too much will confuse your mind and you'll mix up numbers; so if this is the case for you, I recommend the method I just suggested.
    If you can get about 5 numbers down along with the rows each one are on, you'll get at least 70%. So if Manx St. 7-99 only appears in B and Ginger 497-1134 in C, remember one of the limits. For Ginger, you might just remember 500. If it's below, Chances are it is D. For Manx I thought of a $100 bill with a little corner out of it (meaning it's less than 100). If you want to do really good, you'll come up with different associations for each number. This takes a lot of practice however. For the method that most memory champions use, check out a video by memory champion Ronnie White (just type in "how to memorize numbers"). Of course, if you just want to pass the test by not bombing the memory part and don't want to put in a lot of time, try the method above with just memorizing 3 numbers.

    @MasterChief806 7 лет назад +33

    Just took the exam today...my hardest part was the address checking part. About 40 questions in I didnt realize some of the addresses added just an "S" at the end of the road so it would be wrong so I went back to the beginning and went through all of them again and then continued on...there were quite a few i had to change...either way i ran out of time and 6 were left empty. I still say that was where my greatest hit in points came from cause even going through some of them again when I started rushing towards the end most of them just started looking all the same to me. I think as time kept going down it put a little more pressure than I thought I would have over answering 60 questions in 11 minutes. If I didn't need to go back and recheck those other 40 answers I would've been able to finish it but I would've had a hand full more wrong in that area...so I rechecked the first 40 and had to rushed the last 20 but only got 14 of those down not knowing if I was 100% right. Six were left blank. This was the only part were I felt pressured. After that you should be good.
    The second part was easy as hell with the forms and boxes. Double checked them to make sure and still had time left over. Should have gotten everything there right.
    The third part coding with the chart and route labeling was actually way easier than I thought it would be. They used the same chart multiple times so by the time you have to memorize the chart it should be for the most part memorized in your head already. I did take my time making sure I did have it memorized though. There were at least five different questions where the address number between route B and C were only off by less than 5 so that was kind of tricky but I do feel like I aced that as well because I knew the number range and where it stopped already. They also had random addresses that weren't apart of the route and then a few numbers that weren't within the range of the numbers for the routes so there were more does not belongs than I thought there would be.
    I don't know what exactly hurt my score so much but I know I should have gotten everything in sections 2 and 3 right. So unless I just royally screwed up in the first section more then I think I did, I feel like the psychological part you take at home also plays a factor into your score.
    So without any studying and only watching this video once just to see what it was going to be like...I got an 82.60.

  • @themodularmodular

    Just took my test today. My only tip to those who are expecting to take the test is not to over thinking it. Just be familiar with the test samples on some websites, they're obviously not exactly the same, but pretty damn spot on. Look for a good technique that would work FOR YOU to memorize and stick with it. No need to stress it out and over-study since there will be totally different details on the test anyway. Heck, I only tried 3-5 times on the training website with so-so score and realized that I got the info I needed.
    Took the test, was over thinking over few stuffs on the very first test and couldn't make it on time, shit I thought. Moved on and did faster on the next one, was really easy there.. but then and got stuck on the next one.. so I filled it up in random copy-ing the "right answers" at the bottom part of the page like an idiot since I missed the previous instruction to memorize before starting out, oh well. Then I hit the last part which was the hardest one, I was crossing my fingers then. Finished and walked in dread back to my car then checked my phone for email and didn't expect to even pass at all. Got 81.70 score, not too bad for lack of effort. Now the waiting game has begun.
    But yeah, the hardest part was that last part where you have to remember the address details and sort them out without the info. Just look for a good strategy to memorize. I guess that would be the real life situation at the office.
    Good luck!

      Thank you....after you take the character assessment test at home on your computer, then they send you an email to invite you to take the actual test at the facility on their computer. The memorization Section was actual test from the facility. The second part of the test is looking at three different forms each form you answer 10 questions and you have 15 mins to answer 30 questions and u read the questions and look at the forms carefully then u have no problem answering it. It is little harder than the practice test. The actual test just likes the practice test.

      Update: Nope! Despite this high score, I was not hired because of the accident from Oct. 2014 on my 5 year driving record. No explanation given other than a copy of the background check sent to me by mail. So my only options now are to apply for a PSE Clerk or custodial positions that don't require a driving record or wait till Oct. 2019 and try again :/

I thought I wouldn’t pass the actual test due to my scores online with the practice test, but I passed with a 82.4 and did take into consideration I am not good at memorizing such information. These practice tests really helped! Some tricks are since it’s a timed test, if you finish early make sure to go back and review each section over and over carefully.
