Postal exam practice test prep for USPS job applicants

Which postal exam applies to your job?

Mail carrier, mail handler, mail processing, and customer service roles may use different Virtual Entry Assessment exams. Your official USPS posting is the final authority.

How do I take the postal exam?

Start by finding an open USPS job posting and applying through the official USPS Careers system. If the job requires an assessment, USPS sends instructions through its applicant system. Do not pay a third-party site to apply or take a USPS employment assessment.
