About the PSEE

Canada's Public Service Entrance Exam 371 (PSEE 371) assesses your reasoning skills and judgement for officer-level positions in the federal public service. It can be used to assist managers in making selection decisions for appointment or for placement in training programs. The PSEE is comprised of two sub–tests: Test of Reasoning (TOR) and Test of Judgement (TOJ).

Hiring managers may use any of the tests: PSEE, TOJ or TOR on its own or as a final step in a two step process, following an unsupervised version of the tests. The unsupervised tests are: PSEE UIT 370, TOR UIT 372 and TOJ UIT 374. The unsupervised PSEE UIT 370 is the unsupervised versions of the Test of Reasoning and Test of Judgement combined.

Arithmetic reasoning questions are numerical reasoning word problems. You will need to identify an unknown value based on the given information.
Logical reasoning questions test your ability to apply logical conclusions to given information. You will be asked to choose which statement can be validly concluded given the provided information.
