About this exam
USPS Exam 955 is an assessment used in hiring for certain U.S. Postal Service maintenance jobs, including skilled-trades and facilities roles. Applicants may encounter it when a current USPS job announcement requires the 955 assessment. It is intended to evaluate job-related maintenance knowledge, not general postal facts or the skills tested for mail carrier positions. Exam requirements, eligibility, and the rest of the selection process can vary by vacancy, so read the announcement and follow any instructions sent by USPS.
For USPS Exam 955, useful areas to review include mechanical systems and component identification; electrical circuits, wiring, and controls; motors, drives, and power transmission; and bearings, lubrication, and shaft alignment. Build familiarity with diagrams, equipment terminology, and basic troubleshooting concepts instead of relying only on memorized definitions. A focused study plan and occasional timed multiple-choice practice can help you spot gaps and review calmly. Check your assessment notice for details about the test format and any steps specific to your application.
How to prepare for the USPS Exam 955
