<\/span>What’s on the Wonderlic Scholastic Level Exam?<\/h2>\n

Unlike many standardized tests of intelligence, the Wonderlic Scholastic Level test only takes 12 minutes to complete and has 50 questions, which is far fewer questions than most IQ tests. There is also a much shorter Wonderlic Quicktest, which is an unproctored pretest that can be taken from home.<\/p>\n

The questions on this test are about math, geometric figures, analogies, following directions, jumbled sentences, common sense, reasoning ability, vocabulary, and more.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How the Exam is Scored<\/h2>\n

The exam is scored on a scale of 0 to 50, with 50 being the highest score you can get. Each question on the exam has the same point value and is scored by how many questions you correctly answer.<\/p>\n

This means that if you don\u2019t know the answer to a question, you won\u2019t lose points if you guess.<\/p>\n

Ideally, you want to aim for a 21 or higher. Keep in mind that it depends on the school you\u2019re trying to get into, so the passing score may be different.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
