WorkKeys Applied Mathematics Test

The WorkKeys Applied Mathematics assessment measures the skill people use when they apply mathematical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving techniques to work-related problems. The test questions require you to set up and solve the types of problems and do the types of calculations that actually occur in the workplace.

You may use a calculator on the test and a formula sheet that includes all the formulas required for the assessment is provided. Even though you may use calculators and conversion tables to help with the problems, you still need to use math skills to think them through.

This test is one of the three WorkKeys assessments used with the National Career Readiness Certificate program.

Applied Mathematics Test Content

The Applied Mathematics test consists of 33 items. The length depends on the test version. For the WorkKeys Internet Version the test is 55 minutes, whereas the Paper-and-pencil version is 45 minutes. There are 5 levels of difficulty.
