Can anyone give me an idea on what would be given for the aptitude test? is it hard? does it really consist of general knowledge? do I need to buy prep ?

ATSA Compilation

No email here, but I did call HR a while ago just to check (yes, yes, impatient, I know) and they said I qualified for the test so I'm still hopeful. Out of curiosity, and I know they're probably doing it randomly, have people who got an email had last names mostly in the beginning of the alphabet or no? I'm around 3/4 of the way through.

What’s the number ? Need to call them too

I can’t wait to get to N90 and meet all the great people! ... am I on the right track?

When I took it a few years ago it was at a building in Cobb County. I think it's close to the new Braves stadium.

I actually just got my ATSA and the closest PSI location is in Duluth, however there are no test dates there. As it looks like right now the closest is Birmingham

So if you still have a 'received' on your application, does it mean if you'll get an ATSA invite or not?

It means you are pending an invite to the ATSA. Is it sent out in waves.

Does the USA jobs website update itself to reflect that you have been invited to take the ATSA or is that info only available in the email?

It won’t change until after the ATSA has been taken and the scores have been evaluated.

Hey Guys,

Do you think having an emotional support animal for anxiety automatically disqualify me? Apparently its stated in my medical record.

 

[strawn1128]

I have a question for anyone who’s been through the process. I was looking through what I believe to be a sample security clearance form and was curious about what would prevent you from getting clearance. How much do they weigh someone’s personal credit rating, and any previous alcohol/drug use?

It would definitely slow down the process if it doesn't disqualify you. It is a now high stress job so people who already have anxiety is going to raise red flags.

Credit and drug/alcohol use a HUGE. Credit to know if you are blackmail-able because you will have access to government systems and information. Drug/alcohol use demonstrates if you are a liability, risk taker, make poor decisions etc.

Thanks for the response. What if the drug/alcohol use is 10+ years ago? Nothing major just smoked a little weed in high school.

Left Seat says "A history of substance abuse / dependency including alcohol, narcotics, non-narcotic drugs and other substances must be extensively investigated. "

HR said all invites for ATSA have been sent out!

I think they say in the past 7-10 years so if it’s past that and you never had any legal trouble you shouldn’t have to report it

I just spoke with HR and they said they are still in the process of sending them. I have not received one yet. They said they are not sending them out in any order and anyone who was considered eligible will receive one.
