Hey Mac,
What state and county are you from? If I were you, I'd holdout as long as you can for the journeyman wire class. Do you have any experience in electrical work? If you do, ask the local if you qualify for book 4. If work is good, you might have a chance at getting on with a contractor and qualifying after a year to take a journeymen’s test. But, do everything possible to get into the apprenticeship first. Ask them if you take some algebra classes if that also might help your chances.
