What is a potential impact of a low score on the ALBAT?

A low score on the ALBAT can lead to limited opportunities in desired apprenticeship programs because many programs use the test as a benchmark for selecting candidates. Apprenticeship programs often require a certain level of aptitude in areas such as math, reading comprehension, and problem-solving. A low score may indicate that a candidate might struggle with the technical aspects of the training required in these programs, making it less likely for them to be accepted or competitive among other applicants. Thus, those with higher scores generally find it easier to gain entry into more desired options, while those with low scores may face restrictions and fewer opportunities to pursue specific paths.
