The Wonderlic Basic Skills Test
The Wonderlic test is intended to measure your basic adult language and math skills.
Whether you are a prospective student or a job applicant, this test checks your chances to succeed in your new school or job.
The Wonderlic Basic Skills Test consists of two 20 minute sections: verbal (50 questions) and quantitative (45 questions). However, it's important to note that some workplaces only use one part of the test, according to their specific needs.
What Is on Basic Skills Tests?
Basic skills exams feature both verbal and quantitative sections, with each section containing various questions types.
Verbal Skills Tests
These questions are important because they assess skills that are related to the comprehension and understanding of language.
Verbal reasoning questions are used to measure your ability to understand, analyze, and interpret information.
The Wonderlic Basic Skills Verbal section contains 50 questions, and the time allotted is 20 minutes. Solving all the questions within this time limit is difficult, but try to think quickly and provide the maximum number of correct answers possible.
For instance, you may be tested on anagrams, antonyms vs. synonyms, metaphors, and common or colloquial sayings.
Or you might be given a sentence such as: “An arm has two monkeys." After reading this statement, you will be asked if the sentence can be arranged into a proper sentence.
- Sentence completion
- Vocabulary
- Sentence construction
- Information retrieval
- Understanding of "how-to" instructions
- Recognizing grammar mistakes
Verbal Basic Skills Assessment Sample Questions
1. Wire is to electricity as _____ is to water.
2. Choose the word that best indicates the meaning of the underlined word.
The information collected does not pertain to that incident.
Quantitative Skills Tests
Also known as basic numeracy or numerical literary quantitative questions assess your ability to understand basic mathematical concepts and carry out simple arithmetic calculations.
Such calculations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Can you use a calculator for the Wonderlic test?
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to bring one into the test with you.
The Wonderlic Basic Skills Quantitative section contains 45 questions in a 20-minute time limit.
Solving all the questions in this timeframe is very difficult, but try to think quickly to provide the maximum number of correct answers possible.
You generally have a very short amount of time to answer these questions, normally less than 20 seconds per question. In addition, you are not permitted to use a calculator.
- The four basic operations
- Computing rates, proportions, and percentages in applied contexts
- Solving variable expressions and equations
- Fractions and decimals
- Rounding numbers and averages
- Basic geometry concepts
Quantitative Basic Skills Assessment Sample Questions:

Are you ready for a harder one?

WBST Test Tips
1. Do not spend too much time on any one question, skipping difficult questions is allowed.
2. Using a calculator or any other external device is forbidden, but make sure you have some scratch paper and pen or pencil to assist you in your calculations.
3. If you find yourself stuck, guess! Guessing does not take off points and it’s certainly better than leaving a question unanswered.
4. Pay attention to the answers! Sometimes ruling out unreasonable answers can prove to be an efficient problem-solving strategy.
5. Generally, the questions increase in difficulty throughout the test.
