Frequently asked questions
What do I get for free?
A free 15-question diagnostic test with an instant section-by-section breakdown - no signup needed. Full access adds full-length 40-question simulations, unlimited practice, and targeted drills on your weakest sections.
What is the Check for Errors section?
USPS describes it as checking whether the customer information on screen matches USPS records or contains an error. It is the one section of the 475 that is pure trainable skill: speed and accuracy at spotting mismatches in names, addresses, and numbers. Our drills are built for exactly that.
How is the 475 different from the 474?
Same testing program, different job group. The 474 covers mail carrier jobs; the 475 covers Mail Handler and Mail Handler Assistant positions and adds the Check for Errors section. A result on one exam does not transfer to the other.
How long do I have to take the real 475 assessment?
USPS gives you 72 hours from the invitation email to complete it. The assessment itself takes about 30-45 minutes and is taken online, unproctored, on any device.
What score do I need to pass?
USPS requires 70% to be rated eligible. Your score plus any veterans preference points determines your ranking for hiring.
What happens if I fail?
If you do not pass, USPS locks you out of retaking the 475 - and every job it covers - for one full year. You could still take a different version, such as the 474 or 477, for a job in another group.
Are these real USPS exam questions?
No. All questions are original practice content written to match the format and style of the assessment. We never use actual exam questions.
What happens if I am not satisfied?
Every purchase comes with an unconditional 7-day money-back refund. No conditions, no forms.
