1 Practice Exam #1 Postal Exam 473

2 PRACTICE TEST #1 The USPS uses an exam in its hiring process to measure how quickly and accurately someone can work. This Practice Test is designed to mirror the official Postal Exam 473 that you will take a nearby postal facility and includes four seperately timed sections: Address Checking Forms Completion Coding Memory Remember, to get hired, you must pass the official exam. A passing score is a 70% or above. You will discover, the questions on the exam are not that dificult. With enough time, you could easily get them all correct. The challenge is time. It is a proven fact that if you practice ahead of time, you will perform much better on the official exam. Most candidates however, never practice ahead of time. Most don t know why its so important. Doing so will give you a strong competitive advantage in the process so that you are more likely to get hired. The higher your score on the exam, the sooner and more likely you are to get hired. To start practicing, follow these steps in order: 1) Identify a quiet area where you are able to sit alone, uninterrupted, for one hour. When you take the actual Exam 473 you wil not be permitted to take breaks. 2) Print out this entire Practice Test. 3) Get two pencils or pens to mark your answers. You will only need one but it is always good to have a backup just in case one breaks or runs out of ink. 4) Get a timer to use to set the time limits for each section. This can easily be done with a stopwatch, kitchen timer, or even the timer on you cell phone. The timer should be set at the beginning of each section and start counting down after you read the directions. 5) After completing each section, refer to the next page for the Answer Key. 6) When you have completed the entire Practice Test and checked your answers, you will have a good understanding of how much practice you need and in what areas of concentration. 7) Continue practicing until you are comfortable with taking the actual Exam 473.

3 PRACTICE TEST #1 Address Checking Directions: The first address is the Correct Address and the second address is the Address to be Checked. Compare each set of addresses to determine if there are any differences/errors between them. Your answer should indicate which part of the address contains the difference/error.
