What is the USPS Virtual Entry Assessment (VEA) 474, 475, 476, and 477?
The Virtual Entry Assessments are online hiring tests used by the United States Postal Service. Exam 474 is for City and Rural Carriers (CCA/RCA); Exam 475 is for Mail Handler Assistants (MHA); Exam 476 is for Mail Processing Clerks (PSE); and Exam 477 is for Customer Service and Sales Clerks.
What is considered a competitive score on the USPS Postal Exam?
While 70 is the minimum passing score, USPS hires candidates in score order (banding: 70–100 plus veteran preference points). In competitive markets, scores of 85+ or 90+ are strongly recommended to secure job offers quickly.
How are the Situational Work Scenarios evaluated?
USPS rates candidates on customer orientation, safety compliance, dependability, and initiative. Candidates must identify the Most Effective and Least Effective responses to common postal delivery and plant situations without passing responsibility or violating safety protocols.
What is the penalty for failing the USPS assessment?
If you fail (score below 70), you must wait a mandatory retest waiting period (typically 12 months) before you can re-apply for that specific assessment.
