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 373 (TOR) and Test of Judgement 375 (TOJ).
Hiring managers may use any of the tests: PSEE, TOJ or TOR on their own or as a final step in a twostep process, following an unsupervised version of the tests. The unsupervised tests are: PSEE UIT 370, TOR UIT 372 and TOJ UIT 374.

(that includes 30 minutes for administration). The unsupervised TOJ UIT 374 consists of 52 multiple-choice questions with a time limit of 75 minutes.
