Best IBEW Aptitude Test Practice Tests (2026), Compared

We make LifeScore, one of the options below. Here is how we scored every option: the rubric and the rules, published before any scoring.

Our verdict. On 19 October 2026, JobTestPrep comes first on our published rubric (79.1 out of 100) and LifeScore comes third (77.5), so we are not the top pick here. Where we lose, we say so: JobTestPrep (31), Ultimate Electrician's Guide (10) and iPREP (8) list more full-length mocks than our 5; cheaper per mock: JobTestPrep, iPREP and Mometrix.

Does the order change without the transparency criterion?

We know our own product completely and the others through search results, which makes the transparency criterion easier for us to prove than for a competitor to prove for itself. So here is the ranking with that criterion removed and the other four rescaled to 100: LifeScore comes fourth of 9, against third in the main table.

1. JobTestPrep

79.1 / 100

Prep course (PrepPack). Best for: the longest list of tests, with explanations, for a month or three.

Why pick it

  • The largest number of tests listed

  • Access ends after a week, a month or three months

US$55 for 1 month, US$65 for 3 months (US$45 for 1 week); one-time. One-time payment for 1 week, 1 month or 3 months of access; the course page shows a Money Back Guarantee badge whose terms the results did not give. Free: A free IBEW practice test with answers.

3. LifeScore

77.5 / 100

IBEW-style Pass Pack. Best for: five two-part mocks on the reported clocks, a score for each part, every answer explained.

Five IBEW-style mocks, each with a timed algebra part and a timed reading part on the reported clocks (the first free), 8 topic drills of 12 questions, a score for each part, and an explanation for every question, for one payment.

Tested by LifeScore on 19 October 2026. The mock count, price and clock come from our own product, not from a description of it.

US$39.00 for 5 mocks (Pass Pack): US$7.80 a mock

Why pick it

  • Both parts on the reported clocks, with no calculator, in every mock
  • A separate score for algebra and for reading, so you know which half needs the work
  • An explanation on every question in the pack
  • A free, scored first mock
  • One payment, no subscription

Our real limits

  • Original questions written in the IBEW style, not the real ones, so difficulty can differ from your local's test
  • No official norms: the real test reports a stanine against a reference group nobody outside the Alliance can see, and each local sets its own cut-off; we show percent correct and a practice band, never a stanine or a pass mark
  • The format is the reported one: the Electrical Training Alliance publishes no full specification and local programs vary
  • Five mocks is fewer than JobTestPrep (31 listed), Ultimate Electrician's Guide (10) or iPREP (8), and ibewtestprep.com (US$29), 12minprep (US$29) and Electrician Tutor (US$29.99) cost less up front
  • The free test shows your score and parts; the explanations are in the pack
  • We have not validated our scores against real IBEW results

US$39, one payment. One payment, no subscription, and the free test stays free. No expiry on the private link. Sold on its own: the all-exam pass does not include it. Practice Club also includes it. Free: Mock A is free: all 69 questions in the 2 timed parts (97 minutes in all), scored the moment you finish with a score for each part. Explanations are in the pack.

The Pass Pack is US$39 once for 5 mocks, US$7.80 a mock. Of the 5 paid options that publish both a price and a mock count, none costs more per mock. They run US$1.77 to US$7.25 a mock. The cheapest sticker price in the table is Electrician Tutor at US$9.99, but it publishes no mock count, so its price per mock cannot be worked out.

Where other options beat LifeScore

  • Explanations: iPREP
  • Full-length timed mocks: JobTestPrep, Ultimate Electrician's Guide, iPREP
  • Price and value: JobTestPrep, iPREP, Ultimate Electrician's Guide, Mometrix, 12minprep

A criterion is listed when at least one option scored more points than we did on it.

A competitor's comparison says a 30-day refund and a pass guarantee; the vendor's own terms were not in the results.

Free (Free sample questions), but no full-length mock count to divide by

* Part of this score is the midpoint (5) because the sources we could read did not state the detail. See how unknowns are scored.

Why pick it

  • The only source of what the Alliance itself publishes
  • Free samples
  • Optional courses sold by the test's owner

Limits

  • Sample items and instruction, not full-length timed tests
  • The sample page's item count is unclear: one source says three algebra items, another eight in all
  • Courses are US$49.95 each, so math and reading together cost about US$100

Free samples; ElectricPrep courses US$49.95 each (math, reading), 270 days. The sample questions are free. ElectricPrep, the Alliance's own prep site, sells math and reading courses at US$49.95 each, online only, expiring 270 days after purchase; they are optional. Free: Free official sample questions (three algebra items on the sample page; one review says eight in all). No full-length test.

Evidence behind this section (3)

    The official sample page lists three algebra samples, one of them a formula-evaluation item with multiple-choice answers (A = B + 3(4 - C), with B = 5 and C = 2); a Pigment review says the official sample has eight items (five algebra and three reading), so the current official count is unclear

Also checked, and left out of the table

We looked at these and did not score them, because the sources we could read did not give enough to apply the rubric.

  • PrepTerminal. Listed at US$68 for 90 days of access in a search result, but the result gave no mock count or contents.
  • Test-Guide. Free electrical aptitude page, 69 questions in two parts, but the page is about 1,200 days old and no paid tier was described.
  • Union Test Prep. No IBEW page was returned by the search.
  • TSA Test Prep, Practice Test Geeks, Electrician Apprentice HQ and Prepopedia. Free articles and quizzes with no paid product, mock count or price to score.
  • IBEW prep books on Amazon and Walmart. Printed books from about US$25 with practice questions; no timed mock or explanation details in the results.

How this page was scored, and how to correct it

The five criteria and their weights, format fidelity 25%, explanations 25%, full-length timed mocks 20%, transparency about limits 15%, price and value 15%, were fixed on the methodology page before any option was scored. A total is calculated by code from the data file, so nobody typed a number here. We link to no review sites and show no star ratings, because these are checklist scores, not buyer reviews.

If a price, a count or a feature is wrong, email support@lifescoretest.com with the vendor page that shows it. We fix confirmed errors within five working days and change the date on the row.
