• Answer:

  I got an 84.5 and didnt get hired. They picked my sister over me. With their hiring process, they choose seniority and test scores. Like say if two people the same age took the test, the person with the highest score will be chosen. In my case, my sister is 5 years older than me and scored 1 point higher. As for chances of getting hired. I think that will probly depend on how many positions are open and which ones you're applying for. It's kind of a competition when it comes to getting a job at the USPS. I had my interview with 20 other people all in one room. You always have to option to retake the test too. And if you take it again and do worse, you still retain your highest score. So if youre unhappy with your score, take it again! (I know its a long wait, but if you get the job its worth it!)
