USPS Postal Exam 474 : Study Guide + Answers :: Score 100% (Part 1)

[@ThatGuy-nf5ui]

Just took it. Thanks to this video I got a 99%. Anyone stressing out about this test don't. Think like a supervisor. I wanna hire someone I can throw into this position and never have to worry about the job getting done or complaints about my hire. If you use that thought process answering the questions they are easy.

[@salvadorramirez2564]

Thanks for that comment bro

Hey I just got an offer letter. They want 3 references. Are these personal or work references? Do they actually call them?

Can u take This test at home or at the office

[@dannymortland4157]

Watched this and got a 98. From start to finish, it took me 2 and a half weeks to pass all requirements. and another 2 weeks till the first day of orientation. Took a test and got 98. 5 days later was sent MVR for my driving record, and two days later sent 3 job offers. Two days later sent background check info on a Thursday, and the following Monday did fingerprints. It took 1 week to get approval that I passed background everything. Just waiting for 8/16/23 to start can't wait! Good luck everyone

[@TheCollectorDad]

Only 8 questions right?

[@confusedwhale]

There's new questions. The first section only had half of these questions with a total of 10 questions. One of which concerned an aggressive dog. I'm the "third" section, which was the fourth section, there was a consistent theme of "do you act the same way with everyone or do you alter how you act based off of who the people are/the audience." I don't know what the right answers are, but i still passed, but only at a 93.

[@Tyrosine0910]

Yup, I took the test a week ago & can corroborate what you said. I knew that it had been changed, so a few days beforehand, I printed out all of the questions & answers from USPS Mac's three videos & studied them hard in a bid to deduce all of the concepts underlying how the "correct" answers for the previous questions were determined. Thankfully, I still managed to come away with a 98. Don't get down on yourself: 93 is still a very good score. Most applicants probably aren't preparing much, if at all, & I'm guessing the median score for 474 test-takers in general is well below 90. I've also read that more people are failing the 474 than the 473E (the previous exam that's been retired). If you apply to all vacancies within an hours' commute from your place, chances are pretty good that you'll still receive a job offer, especially if you apply to larger post offices where they're looking to hire at least 2-3 new employees. People still get hired with scores in the 80's & sometimes even 70's if the need is high enough. Just stay the course & you'll get there.

[@kankenoh]

This isn't for a CCA position, but rather, an opportunity to get hired straight away as a regular City Letter Carrier. I'm so grateful to USPS Mac, as I doubt I would've had this opportunity without his help. 😊

[@JohnShear]

These are tricky questions and I would have picked some differently that you did. Would be nice to have an explanation of why you picked the Most Likely options versus another option which seemed like a good answer. I don't understand the thought process.

[@kaylanewton3991]

yes I agree

[@YWNBAWEver]

I changed a few answers and got 100% on the 474 and 477! Some tips to help others: Don’t go to the sup for anything lol Don’t bother them. Some of these give you two options - you go to the sup directly or ask the customer if they want to talk to the sup. The customer may or may not spend their time talking to the sup…but it’s worse if *you* go to them. They want you to figure it out on your own. Assisting customers and coworkers - remember your time is valuable and you’re gonna be busy. First you give verbal instructions, THEN show the person if they’re still having trouble. Be a team player; if a coworker is struggling, don’t leave them to figure it out on their own. Don’t wait for them to ask you for help. Explain what to do, then assist with the task if verbal instructions weren’t enough. This is a customer service role. Think about how YOU want to be treated by customer service. You don’t want to be told there’s nothing more to be done, that’s not my job, you’re lying, it’s the customers responsibility. You don’t want to hear that and neither do your customers. But it’s still worse to ask your sup! 😂 also this test is for a carrier position…customer service at the post office is there to help the customer with answers you don’t have. As for the personality stuff = be optimistic, thrive in stressful situations/fast paced environments, go above and beyond your minimal work requirements, set the highest goals for yourself, be aware of how others are feeling, hard work = success. HTH

Hello how long does it takes to retake exam 474? Didn't pass the regular City Carrier but applied for City Carrier Assistant and on the Hire-list. What will happened since I didn't pass the exam 474 ?

[@GabrielleEluma]

From what I understand, you would have to wait a year after failing the exam to reapply. However, on Reddit someone stated as long as you create a new account with a different email address you can reapply without waiting a year.

[@Tyrosine0910]

One year for retesting. Luckily, it appears you're already 11 months into that wait time. Even though the test is a bit different now, this video series will still help you achieve a high score if you study how Mac answers each question. I printed out the questions & answers, them wrote down different underlying patterns I identified, & when I applied those concepts to the new test last month, I still came away with a 98, which was enough to snag job offers at all of my top three offices.

[@rodneynicholson2018]

[@loganrichardson462]

Ive heard the score sticks with you for 2 years.

[@theironbird8660]

fairly sure as far as the 474 exam is concerned, it only actually tracks whatever email you used to apply. if you make another email and apply with that you can get through, i doubt an actual person even puts eyes on your application until you get past the automated exam-filter. nobody at the USPS gives two fucks about this 474 exam, especially if your in a remotely large town/city where they're dying for carriers, just don't falsify information on your actual application. these bs personality test things are an incredibly stupid way to automate out applicants for an agency with as many personnel shortages as the USPS.

[@Tyrosine0910]

​@@Steve-qn1lj Here's the other comment I thought I remembered responding to. Here's some last-minute tips: -Never, for any reason, select "Somewhat Like Me"; only "Most Like Me" for all questions in that section -When given multiple options, never select the answers that involve referring a customer or coworker to a supervisor. They seem to hate that because it takes up their "valuable" (lol) time -Always select the answers that make you seem like a compulsive overachiever instead of someone who does adequate work. It's a subtle difference, but it matters. -When faced with situations of coworkers struggling, select the answers that involve you trying to be helpful but that take minimal time. For example: instead of offering to do some of your coworker's work for them, choose the option that involves giving quick tips. They want somebody who's team-oriented but ultimately most focused on independently getting their own work done as efficiently as possible. I know, it's somewhat paradoxical. Hope this helps!
