How Does Wonderlic Assessment Scoring Work?

Candidates' scores are derived from their overall response pattern, with each question weighted based on its level of difficulty and taking into account the likelihood of guessing.

This produces a far more precise estimate of applicants’ cognitive ability than a score based only on the total number of correct answers.

Wonderlic considers a score of 31 as a strong fit, 23-25 as a moderate fit, and below 22 as a poor fit.

Four Golden Time Management Rules 

Make Sure You Don't Dwell on Any One Question Too Long
Don't know the answer? It’s perfectly fine. guess and move on! 
The challenge is recognizing when skipping a question is a strategy and when it’s a mistake. Only first-hand experience and practicing real-time simulations can teach you that.

Review Your Answer and Make Sure It Is Accurate
Trying to beat the clock and finishing questions too quickly can lead to fatal mistakes. People with little or no experience in test-taking are prone to making the mistake of focusing their efforts and attention on the wrong parts of the test. They inevitably get stuck on questions for too long, skip easy-to-answer questions, or answer questions too quickly.

In the Beginning, Work Fast, Then Slow Down.
Being quick with the first questions could give you an edge.

Be aware of the fact that the questions on the WBST test increase in difficulty over time, so if you invest all your time on a few initial questions you’ll end up leaving the challenging ones on the table.

Manage Your Expectations
It may surprise you but, the employer does not expect you to answer every question on the test. A very small number of testees can be proud of such an achievement; what's important is that the questions you do answer are correct.

Practicing Accurate Simulations Will Help You Answer Questions Quickly

Practicing simulations with questions that are similar to the ones that will appear on the exam, can play a big role in your ability to respond quickly; your brain will get used to seeing the same patterns making your response time almost automatic.

What if I were to tell you that just before taking the Wonderlic test, you would get the 50 questions along with the test answers?

I can’t give you the exact questions, but what I can do is give you Wonderlic practice test questions that will look and feel EXACTLY like the test you are about to take.

Your success rate would be 100%, wouldn’t it? Well, maybe 95% if your memory is not that great. But still, you would ace the test, no problems.

Practice Your Time Management Skills Against Real-Time Simulations

”Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.” – Anton Chekhov

You can learn all the time management tips in the world, but if you don’t put them to practice, it will be hard to really know how well you’ll function during the assessment test.

Time-constrained tests are hard! 14 seconds per question is a stressful experience, you can easily lose your concentration or waste too much time on certain questions.

We offer nine full-length Wonderlic style prep tests, a diagnostic prep test that will help pinpoint your weakness, and extra practice drills on all subjects.

• Review Test Questions Before Submitting. When doing practice simulation Identify problematic topics that you have trouble with and often answer incorrectly; when doing the test, review them just to make sure.
