What is the USPS 476 (VEA - MP 476) Exam?
The USPS 476 Exam, officially the Virtual Entry Assessment (VEA) – MP (476), is required for those applying to become Mail Processing Clerks or Data Conversion Operators. Introduced in 2019 to replace the outdated Exam 473, it focuses on behavioral traits, personality, and attention to detail—skills essential for success in fast-paced, accuracy-driven roles.
While the test has no set time limit, it must be completed within 72 hours of receiving the invitation. Scores range from 0 to 100, with 70 as the minimum to pass. Candidates with higher scores are more likely to receive job offers, while those who fail must wait a year to retake it.
The VEA 476 is part of a series of USPS assessments tailored to specific roles, including VEA-MC 474 for mail carriers, VEA-MH 475 for mail handlers, and VEA-CS 477 for customer service clerks. This role-specific approach supports USPS’s commitment to efficient hiring and offers a path to stable employment with strong federal benefits.

Highly recommended.Great instructional information. I passed on the first try.
Prepterminal. Prepare, practice, execute.
To say that Prepterminal helped me prepare and be ready for the testing phase would be an understatement. At first, looking at the course, I felt overwhelmed with the course material, but the course broke down each subject effectively which made it easier to understand. There were a few issues with some of the audio portion of the testing course, but beyond that, the course was well worth the money.

What if I can’t complete the VEA 476 postal exam within 72 hours?
If you can’t complete the exam within the 72-hour time frame then you will not be considered for the job position you applied for. However, you can submit additional USPS job applications in the future.
What jobs require the USPS 476 exam?
The 476 exam is required for mail processing roles, including Mail Processing Clerk, PSE Mail Processing Clerk, Data Conversion Operator, and similar positions that involve handling and sorting mail.
What happens after I take the USPS 476 exam?
If you pass, your score will be used to determine your eligibility and ranking for the job you applied for. You may be invited for further steps in the hiring process, such as interviews or background checks.
What does “ineligible” mean on my USPS Assessments page?
If your USPS Assessments page shows “ineligible,” it means you either didn’t achieve a passing score on the Postal Exam 476 or didn’t complete the test within the required 72-hour window. In this case, you’re not eligible for the specific job you applied for. You can reapply for positions that require the same exam version after a one-year wait, or explore other USPS roles that use a different version of the VEA test. Preparing thoroughly before your next attempt can help you avoid delays and improve your chances of success.
