Sparky AI is our sister app, built by the same IBEW journeyman for electrical apprenticeship applicants. For lineman applicants it covers the two parts you can actually practice: the aptitude test and the interview.

What it covers
- 2,100+ practice questions and 20 full-length timed tests in the NJATC format: algebra and reading, the two sections of the electrical training ALLIANCE test that Mo Valley, SWLCAT and NW Line name (tests 11–20 add bonus spatial and mechanical sections). ALBAT, Cal-Nev and NEAT require an aptitude test but don’t name it. Plus 10 GAN-style tests. Every miss is explained.
- An AI mock interview that asks committee-style apprenticeship questions, follows up on your answers, and scores each one with specific feedback. The interview is what ranks you.
- An AI assistant for electrical questions and trade calculators.
What it doesn’t cover
- The EEI CAST test or utility assessments like Duke’s VAL.
- CDL permit practice.
- Line-trade skills: climbing, rigging, grounding, transformer connections.
For CAST, start with our CAST guide and the free official practice.
