The following guide will provide you with anything you need to know regarding the Walmart Maintenance Assessment:
Let's get started.
The Walmart Maintenance Test is the second assessment on the Walmart maintenance technician hiring process, preceded by the Walmart Supply Chain Associate Assessment. It assesses your knowledge in various mechanical and electrical topics. The test is conducted by Ramsay Corporation and follows the content areas and formatting of the famous Ramsay MultiCraft Test.
Below you may find sample questions for each test section, as well as a video with inside tips on Ramsay Maintenance Tests.
The Walmart Maintenance Assessment may sometimes be referred to as:
All these names refer to the same test, conducted for Walmart by Ramsay Corporation.
The scoring method of the Walmart Ramsay Test is similar to that of all Ramsay tests, such as the Ramsay Maintenance Test, the Ramsay Electrical Test, or the Amazon Tech Test.
You receive a score for each category, compared with the qualification standard set by Ramsay Corporation. Then, your overall score is calculated based on the relative weight of each category. You may receive one of two scores:
Note that a “Competitive” score does not mean that you will automatically continue to the next stage of the hiring process – as demand is very high, Walmart will usually select only the top candidates.
Here is a sample from an actual Walmart DC Maintenance Technician score report:
To maximize your chances of passing, you should aim at the highest possible score in general, but also in each and every section separately. We'll discuss that more in-depth in the tips section below.

Below you will find 7 sample questions, one for each section of the Walmart Maintenance Technician Test. All questions are adapted from actual Ramsay maintenance tests.
Hydraulics and Pneumatics
Which type of valve should be used when a precise, low flow is required?
Welding and Rigging
The advantage of intermittent welding is that it is:
Power Transmission, Lubrication, Mechanical Maintenance and Shop Machines, Tools, and Equipment
What is the aim of flexible couplings?
Pumps, Piping, and Combustion
Coolant leakage into the engine cylinders is most likely to occur because of defective:
Motors, Control Circuits, Schematics, and Print Reading
What will happen if the forward button is pressed and released after a while?
Digital Electronics, Power Supplies, Computers, PLC, and Test Instruments
What is the equivalent Boolean expression for the PLC program below?
Basic AC and DC Theory, Power Distribution, and Electrical Maintenance
In a 110V electrical system, there are three appliances: appliance A (550W) appliance B (770W), and appliance C (330W). Given that all appliances operate simultaneously, what is the minimum required fuse rating?

While the Walmart General Maintenance Test is a knowledge test, knowledge alone is often not enough. The huge variety of topics and sub-topics in this test makes it essential to prepare wisely and effectively.
Here are 3 tips for effective preparation for the Walmart Maintenance Test:
Tip #1 - Focus on the Big Parts
On the Walmart Maintenance Test, some topics are more common than others. That fact is not only true for the topics, but for the sub-topics as well.
For instance, bearings are one of the most frequent sub-topics in the power transmission test category, while cylinders are very common in the hydraulics category. Knowing where to put your prep focus in advance will yield a higher score in the relevant category, and in the test in general.
The practice tests of the Walmart Maintenance Test Practice Pack put emphasis on the actual test's most frequent topics and sub-topics.
Tip #2 - Don't Forget the Theory
That is a common mistake experienced candidates make. Day-to-day maintenance work rarely requires theoretical knowledge, and this knowledge tends to be forgotten over the years.
However, the Walmart Maintenance Technician Test will assess both your practical AND theoretical knowledge, so make sure you are prepared for that aspect as well.
The practice questions on the Walmart Maintenance Test Practice Pack cover both practical and theoretical aspects. PDF study guides provide an extra theoretical background on the topics where it is needed the most.
Tip #3 - Use Full-Length Simulations
You remember that I previously noted that knowing the material is often not enough. To be fully prepared for any test (and the Walmart General Maintenance Test is no exception), you need to know, well, the test.
Being familiar with the question structure, time constraints, and formatting will often be precisely the edge you need (remember that you will be compared to other candidates when Walmart decides whether to take you on to the next stage).
That is a benefit only actual test simulations can give you.
The Walmart Maintenance Test Practice Pack contains mock tests simulating the actual test in content areas, time constraints, and formatting.
When you complete the test, your result will be termed "Competitive" for a successful exam, and "Non-Competitive" for an assessment that has not passed.
Of course! Every practice question is coupled with a thorough explanation that includes all the general knowledge needed to solve the problem. Moreover, you’ll get study guides that dive deep into mechanical and electrical concepts so you’d be able to get a good grasp of the material.
