Well I guess I didn't put that quite right.   I've been continuing to read the posts and most say to work through the ASVAB tests.  Having taken the test I couldn't understand WHY I'd want to work completely THROUGH the tests as not all applied.  Thanks anyway.

Just drill yourself over and over.  Use the practice test on the internet and have another person make up questions for you and drill with that.  Use a stop watch.  This will get you used to taking the test and help you memorize the conversions.  Learning the test is half the battle and you will stand a good chance at making the cut if you don't have to learn the test and take it at the same time.

I'm a journeyman maintenance mechanic trying to pass the POSS test to get into a fossil plant.  I'm surprised both nuclear and fossil have to pass this test.  The math test killed me.  I don't remember having any algebra on the math test, just A LOT more conversion than are on the sample test at EEI.  Is there somewhere I can found some of those oddball conversions to memorize before taking the test?   From the table & graph test, I remember the graph with lines going everywhere ending at the right hand side.  Are there suggestions for that?   I was expecting a table to read!   Any suggestions for the spatial relations?   I knew those on the practice test and had used a thick spatial relations book to study, but none of that seemed to help.

I've taken about three test in 20 years!  This was nasty!  Does anyone know what it takes to pass for fossil?

Fermi2:
I'm not aware of any means to learn spatial relationships, in my mind it's something you can do, or you can't do.

I thought I was helping someone out who wants to be a nuke.

 I recently took the POSS, and to prepare, I worked thru the ASVAB prep books, some mechanical and spatial ability prep books, and had my wife make some practice tests with conversions, and with the provided graphs.
 The company I tested for sent me a letter stating that I had failed. So, I contacted them, to find what portion I messed up on. Upon further investigation, there was some sort of computer/transposition error, and I actually passed. But when I thought I failed, I was talking to a community college that offers a POSS test prep course, and getting a copy of the course materials. Here is the contact info from the website :                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             An EEI Test Preparation Course may be available at a community college near you. For more information, contact the schools listed below:

Chattanooga State Technical Community College, Chattanooga, Tennessee
Contact: Lulu Copeland (423)697-3100

Pellissippi State Technical Community College, Knoxville, Tennessee

Northwest Shoals Community College, Muscle Shoals, Alabama
Contact: Susan Sockwell (256)331-5286


 Hope that helps!

PS Being as how you recently took it, you know which converion factors to memorize, and what kind of algebra questions to practice....
