I failed another test for an apprentice program.

I took the Transportation Screener Agency exam at the end of February. I failed the "physical" part of the test. Physical part was lifting heavy luggage around a bunch of cones. I had to do it a certain amount of times. I didn't do it said amount of times thus I failed was disqualified for the position. I took an ASSETT test, which was basic writing, reading and math. I failed the writing portion but passed both the reading and math.

I feel like such a loser right now. I don't know what I should do. I'm wondering if I should re-take an English course which specializes in grammar. I already took the said course and passed it with a B. What do you think I should do? Re-take the course? Obviously my grammar is not up to par.

The things that were on the test were paragraphs and they had grammar mistakes. It was multiple choice and I had to pick the right choice that had the correct grammar. I guess I suck at grammar.

Just go get a SATII Writing book and start hammering away at it. Thats how i picked up my SATII score by 150 points. As far the physical test, i guess you should just go lift some weights.

Er...fill me in, why are the physical and writing/reading/math parts related if you failed due to the physical constraints?

I took two exams. The first one was for the TSA. The second was to get into an apprentice program. The starting pay with the apprentice program is $15.00 an hour + overtime w/ excellent benefits.

So you suck at English and are out of shape? Join the other 75% of the U.S. population.
