Free Postal Practice Tests - Are They Worth It

If you pay nothing for a practice test, that’s exactly what it’s worth nothing.

We reviewed all the free practice tests we could find online for Postal exams 474, 475, 476, and 477. (These four exams are used to fill over 95% of all Post Office jobs.) The results were grossly disappointing.

First, let’s talk about what a practice test should offer and then discuss what free practice tests provide.

To prepare you to ace the exam and get the job, an effective practice test must meet following criteria.

  • It must be 100% accurate and up-to-date with all the sections and the full number of questions on the real exam.
  • It must be formatted exactly like the real exam with identical instructions.
  • The best practice tests will be fully interactive so that you literally take the practice test and answer the questions exactly like taking the real exam. A static practice test, like a PDF file, cannot truly prepare you for success. You need to experience strange format, the bizarre questions, and the odd way questions are answered to be prepared for success.
  • The best practice tests will have the actual questions and actual answer choices from the real exam.
  • The absolute best practice tests will give you the answers proven to ace the exam.

Why are those practice test features so important?

  • These exams are like nothing you’ve ever experienced. They carry 80-90% failure rates. Many applicants fail because they are simply blown away by all the weirdness. The exams are formatted strangely, the way you answer questions is extremely odd, and the answer choices are often quite similar. All of them may sound reasonable. One reason practice tests must be so realistic and interactive is so that you can become intimately familiar with these strange elements and not be blown away when taking the real exam.
  • You simply cannot get better than having the actual questions and actual answer choices from the real exams.
  • And you cannot beat practice tests that give you the answers for every question that are proven to ace the exam.
  • There is only one study guide that provides all these features … absolutely realistic interactive practice tests that have the actual exam questions and answer choices and that give you the proven best answers for every question.

So, where do the free practice tests fall short?

  • The free practice tests we found were not truly accurate or complete. They had only a handful of sample questions, not the full number of questions on the real exams. And most were not formatted correctly. There is no way they can actually prepare you to take a Postal exam.
  • These free practice tests are simply bait to get you to order expensive materials. That is not necessarily unethical. It is a common business practice. But the free practice tests do not really offer any test prep value.
  • At least one free practice test was for old exam 473 that was retired a few years ago and is no longer given. Old exam 473 has nothing in common with the current tests. Obsolete 473 materials cannot prepare you for exams 474, 475, 476, or 477 in any fashion whatsoever.
  • One company based in Iceland claims to have free practice tests for exams 474, 475, 476, and 477. The only problem is that they are absolutely nothing like the real exams. Absolutely nothing ― not the format, not the sections, not the questions, not the answer choices ― nothing is anywhere close to what’s on the real exams. Our guess is that these free practice tests may be for Postal employment exams in another country. But they are absolutely not for Postal exams in the U.S.A.
