EEI SOPD Practice Test 2026 — Free EEI SOPD Exam Prep Questions
Electric utilities use the EEI SO/PD II battery to screen applicants for control-center jobs such as system operator, system controller, power dispatcher and natural gas controller. This practice set covers all four aptitudes the battery measures: analytic thinking, mathematical usage with formulas given in the question, reading comprehension of operating-manual passages, and multitasking-style monitoring decisions.
EEI SOPD format, scoring & key facts
Computer-based and given by the hiring utility as part of its selection process; the session takes about two and a half hours. Each test is separately timed: Analytic Thinking Skills 45 minutes, Mathematical Usage 17 minutes, Reading Comprehension 22 minutes, and the Multitasking Simulation two 5-minute trials. Candidates read questions on screen, listen to tones and respond with the mouse or keyboard. The tests are not adaptive.
