Frequently Asked Questions
What is tested on the SMART Sheet Metal entrance exam?
The exam assesses applied trade mathematics (fractions, decimals, geometry, trigonometry), mechanical comprehension, 3D spatial pattern visualization, and technical reading.
Are calculators permitted on the sheet metal aptitude test?
Most SMART local joint apprenticeship committees strictly prohibit calculators. All geometry, fractions, and perimeter calculations must be solved by hand on scratch paper.
