In most cases, to pass the NJATC test, you must score 4 out of 9. Then, if you are a leading candidate, you will be called for further interviews. In some cases, where the number of applicants to the program is significantly high, the passing score may be set to 5 out of 9. Outside lineman apprenticeships for NEAT (Northeastern Joint Apprenticeship Training) only need to get a 3 out of 9 on the aptitude test.
