What the EIAT is
The Elevator Industry Aptitude Test is the written paper NEIEP sets for applicants to an IUEC elevator apprenticeship. It is 100 multiple-choice questions on paper, split into reading comprehension, mechanical comprehension and mathematics, and you need 70% to qualify for an interview.
No calculator is allowed. That catches people out more than the content does — the maths is decimals, fractions, mixed numbers and order of operations, which most of us have not done by hand in years. A short tool assessment follows the paper, and while it does not count towards your EIAT score it does feed your interview score.
