About this practice test
A full-length mock exam that mirrors the real test:
- 40 questions · 45 minutes (practice format — USPS does not publish a fixed question count; the real VEA is taken online and must be finished within 72 hours of the invitation)
- Passing target: 70 — USPS ratings are on a 100-point scale and 70 is the widely reported passing rating; USPS's candidate guide does not state it
- If you fail a VEA version you can retake it after one year (USPS)
- Tell Us Your Story and Describe Your Approach are self-report sections with no right answers, so they are not scored here
Take it under real conditions — answers and explanations are shown at the end.
