About this practice suite
This suite prepares candidates for electrical-utility operator selection in the energy, utilities, nuclear, mining, and natural resources sector with 5 skill areas: electrical reasoning, attention and concentration, situational judgment, numerical reasoning and safety judgment. Every question was written by Novus editors for this suite (none are taken from live or leaked exams), and the full bank holds 52 scored questions across three modes, plus 8 reserve questions used to vary repeat attempts. Answer keys never ship to the browser: your answers are scored server-side, and results stay on your device.
Skills this suite practises
- Electrical reasoning: Basic circuits, current, voltage, resistance, symbols, and electrical troubleshooting.
- Attention and concentration: Sustained focus, selective attention, and accuracy under time pressure.
- Situational judgment: Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
- Numerical reasoning: Arithmetic, fractions, percentages, ratios, rates, estimation, word problems, and number relationships.
- Safety judgment: Hazard recognition, safe sequencing, escalation, and risk controls.
Sample questions from the guided bank
Two of the 10 guided-practice questions, shown exactly as they appear in a session. Answers and explanations are not printed here, because keys stay on the server. Open guided practice to answer them and see how you did.
An electrical-utility operator's primary control-room duty is to:
- A. Climb poles to restring conductors personally
- B. Monitor and control the power system within approved operating limits
- C. Sell retail electricity plans
- D. Design new generators from scratch
A clearance request arrives while a conflicting switching order is still open. What is best?
- A. Issue clearance immediately to save time
- B. Hold the clearance until conflicts are resolved and both parties confirm status
- C. Assume prior order was cancelled
- D. Skip tagging because SCADA looks green
Practice modes and timing
Guided practice is untimed-feeling and instructional; the mini-test is a short timed check; the full simulation mirrors a complete sitting. All three draw on separate question sets, so moving up a mode never repeats what you practised.
| Mode | Questions | Duration | Start |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guided practice | 10 | 15 minutes | Open |
| Timed mini-test | 12 | 18 minutes | Open |
| Full simulation | 30 | 45 minutes | Open |
