  1. On the VEA address checking section, when both the delivery address AND the ZIP code contain errors compared to a reference address, which response code should you select?

    Answer: Both

    The 'Both' response is selected when the delivery address (street number, name, etc.) and the ZIP code both differ from the reference address.

  2. Address A: 4521 Birch Lane, Memphis TN 38101 | Address B: 4521 Birch Lane, Memphis TN 38110. What type of discrepancy exists?

    Answer: ZIP Code Only

    The delivery address is identical but the ZIP code differs (38101 vs. 38110), making this a ZIP Code Only error.

  3. Address A: 7834 Westwood Dr, Portland OR 97201 | Address B: 7843 Westwood Dr, Portland OR 97201. What type of discrepancy exists?

    Answer: Address Only

    The street number is transposed (7834 vs. 7843) while the ZIP code is identical, making this an Address Only error.

  4. Address A: 2209 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90028 | Address B: 2209 Sunset Blvd, Los Angles CA 90028. What type of discrepancy exists?

    Answer: Address Only

    The city name is misspelled ('Los Angles' vs. 'Los Angeles') while the ZIP code matches, making this an Address Only error.

  5. Address A: 662 Greenfield Pkwy, Phoenix AZ 85001 | Address B: 626 Greenfield Pkwy, Phoenix AZ 85010. What type of discrepancy exists?

    Answer: Both

    Both the street number (662 vs. 626) and the ZIP code (85001 vs. 85010) differ, so the correct response is Both.

  6. Which strategy is most effective when checking addresses on the VEA postal exam?

    Answer: Compare each element systematically from left to right

    A systematic left-to-right comparison ensures no element is missed and reduces the risk of overlooking subtle differences like transposed digits.

  7. On address checking tests, changing a directional abbreviation — such as 'NW' to 'SW' — in a street address would be classified as which type of error?

    Answer: Address Only

    Directional prefixes and suffixes are part of the delivery address, so a change from NW to SW constitutes an Address Only error.
