Chapter 6
The 473 and 473-C Postal Exam
Correction: Page 117. The correct
answer for sample question S1 is (B) not A. The sender's address is entered
in Box 10 on the back of the form. Corrected in
second printing.
Correction: Page 137. Memory
test item #5. This paragraph states, "You are allowed to make
notes on the exam booklet during the memory test." We had one
report from a person who recently took the exam. His reported
that he was disqualified because he put notes in the exam
booklet during the memory test. Page 8 of the Postal Service's "Applicant
Information Package" states, "Unless instructed otherwise
for a specific part, you may make notes or write anywhere in
this test booklet. Note that nothing you record in this test
booklet will count for or against you in scoring the test."
Several test
proctors watch test takers during the exam to insure they aren't
cheating and they specifically advise you not to make notes in
your exam booklet during the PRACTICE memory test. They do this
so the testers won't copy the coding chart on the exam booklet
test page. However, during the actual memory test you typically
can make notes in the booklet.
CAUTION: You are also judged on how
well you follow instructions. During the exam, if you have
a question, ask it before they issue the notice to start that
section and follow their instructions at all times or your
exam may be disqualified.
