How IBEW Ranking Actually Works
The factors that decide who actually gets in — not just who passes the test. Free PDF, from someone who’s been on the panel.
Why This App Exists
I’m an IBEW Local 134 journeyman and licensed electrical contractor. I teach federal pre-apprenticeship on the south side of Chicago — I’ve helped hundreds of students get into the IBEW.
I also used ChatGPT for a code question on a job. It gave me wrong info. I failed the inspection. It cost me $800 in callbacks. I built Sparky AI so no electrician — or apprentice applicant — goes through that.

The free test shows you where you stand. The course gets you in — taught by a journeyman who’s been on both sides of the panel. It’s the only IBEW course that covers all three things that decide who gets the call:
The Test. Algebra, reading, mechanical & spatial reasoning — every section, taught like a working electrician explains it.
The Interview. What the panel actually discusses after you leave the room — from inside the JATC. Nobody else teaches this.
The Ranking. Passing isn't enough. Exactly how ranking works and what puts you at the top of the list.

Common Questions
Yes — built specifically for the IBEW inside wireman aptitude test and interview. Covers algebra, functions, reading comprehension, mechanical reasoning, and spatial reasoning. If your local includes mechanical and spatial sections, they're in here.
Module 3 is built specifically for repeat failers — an honest breakdown of what’s actually happening and exactly what to do differently. Your history doesn’t disqualify you. A lot of the best applicants fail the first time.
Most prep covers only the math and reading sections. This is the only course that also covers the full interview panel and the ranking system — from someone who's been inside the JATC. Knowing how ranking works changes how you prepare for everything.
