Hello Guys, I am new here, but I have been browsing this forum for sometime now. Now I could really use some help here. I have a test coming up for Los Angeles City Department for a Electrical Tester. Has anyone here ever taken this? And if yes, do you know what I can expect from half day test. I went through the job description and all that but there is nothing specific to study from. My background is mostly maintenance troubleshooting and 14 months of industrial electrical schooling

Thank You all for your time.
