Exelon’s EEI Tests
The tests you will be expected to take were designed specifically for the electric industry by the Edison Institute. These assessments focus on the areas that are necessary to appropriately perform the job, and the questions on each test are relevant to the job you are testing for. Some positions may require additional personality test, such as a Hogan Personality Test.
CAST – Skilled tradespeople looking for construction positions will be given the CAST test. There will be four separate sections of multiple-choice questions. You will need to demonstrate that you can perform well in the areas of graphic arithmetic, reading comprehension, mechanical aptitude, and basic arithmetic. You will have a time limit for each portion of the test, and every section is multiple-choice.
MASS/POSS – These tests are for positions inside the plant in maintenance and plant operations. You will be tested on mechanical aptitude, reading comprehension, mathematical usage, and using tables and graphs. These tests are multiple-choice, and you will have a limited amount of time to complete each section.
SO/PD II – If you will be a utility operator or dispatcher, this is the test battery you will need to take. You will be tested on analytical thinking, reading comprehension, mathematical usage, and multi-tasking. There will be a time limit on each test section, and the entire assessment is multiple-choice.
TECH – Graduates in engineering fields such as mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and mathematical engineering will need to take the TECH test. There will be sections on reasoning from rules, graphic problem solving, interpreting diagrams, and mechanical concepts. You will be working under a time limit on these multiple-choice exams.
SASS – This test battery was designed for those applying for clerical or administrative positions. There are two sections, one which focuses on basic skills, and another which assesses more advanced skills. Basic skills include a classifying test where you must organize items into groups, spelling and grammar, keyboard competency, basic mathematics, and a filing test where you must sort items based on a set of rules. Advanced skills which are tested are multitasking, data entry, word processing, and spreadsheets.
CSR – Customer service representatives also have a test design just for them. There is a job skills test that includes data entry and taking customer orders, and an interactive test that will measure your ability to work with a customer while applying your job skills.
How to Prepare for Exelon’s Assessment?
Edison Institute tests are unique in the access to study materials that are offered by electric companies, and the Edison Institute itself. When applying for a job at Exelon, go to the careers section of the Exelon company you are applying with. At the top of the job listings are instructions on accessing the Exelon study guides and practice tests. The Edison Institute keeps study materials available on its website. With such easy access, practicing for EEI tests is a breeze.
Make use of the materials offered to you by the company, along with independent study. Clerical positions may not have the same access to study guides, so find an app to help you practice your keyboard skills, and use apps designed to help practice classification and multi-tasking. Practice working with spreadsheets and any other office programs you know you need to use frequently in administrative work. For additional practice, study the most common types of filing systems and practice working within those confines. This way you can approach the clerical tests feeling well rounded and prepared.
