How to take the postal exam

A simple explanation of the normal USPS application and assessment path, with reminders to use official USPS systems.

Start with an official USPS job posting

Postal employment assessments are tied to USPS job applications. Search for a job on the official USPS Careers site, read the posting, and follow the application instructions there.

How to take the USPS exam

After you apply for a USPS job, the applicant system may send assessment instructions if the posting requires an exam. Follow the official instructions and deadlines connected to that application.

Watch for assessment instructions

If the role requires an assessment, USPS sends instructions through its applicant process. The exact steps and timing can vary by position and posting.

Do not pay to apply or test

USPS says it does not charge applicants to apply for jobs or take employment assessments. This site offers independent study materials only.
