The third annual A.A.A.A. examinations for adver tising will be held in 16 cities throughout the country on Feb. 19 and Feb. 26, it was stated. Given each year to attract high calibre young peop!e to advertis ing and to test them for specific kinds of work in the industry, the examination provides vocational guidance for those who may be in terested in advertising, John E. Wiley, chairman of the A.A.A.A.'s national examination committee, pointed out. A good rating on the examination may also serve as evidence of the individual's apti tudes and ability when seeking a position, he said. Although anyone working for a firm other than an advertising agency may apply, the examina tion is given chiefly for the bene fit of students in their last year in college, Mr. Wiley said. In 1948 approximately two-thirds of the 602 who registered for the ex amination throughout the country were college students. The 1949 examination will be given in two parts and will cover seven fields of advertising work: copy writing, plans and merchan dising, research, media selection, mechanical production, radio and television production, and layout and art. The first part of the examina tion which will be given on Sat urday, Feb. 19, will consiRt of ap proximately 15 aptitude, tempera ment and vocational interest tests and an examination on the struc ture of the advertising agency business (based on a booklet fur nished by the A.A.A.A.). The second part will be held on Feb. 26, and will offer a series of Dptional tests covering practical knowledge of the various fields of advertising work. Candidates are not expected to take the practical tests unless they have had specific training' or experience. In many examnination centers candidates may arrange to take the second :lay's tests by mail if they live some distance from the examina t~ion center. The aptitude test will be scored and interpreted by the Personnel Laboratory of New York, using scores made by 2,500 advertising ~xecutives chosen for their special ~ompetence' in each field covered. When the tcsts have been pro ~essed. each candidate will receive a score for each knowledge test he rednesday, Jan. 26 vnship Auditorium * i Winter Fc AKG Annou For April So Lists.
