PASS the Wonderlic Test with this

Most people, probably you as well, will rush in to solve this problem like they were taught in school – sum the number of miles and then divide it by 5 days, right ?

BIG MISTAKE !

And here’s the explanation :

If you use the obvious sum and divide method here you will be forced to write down the numbers on a piece of scrap paper, sum up the numbers and then divide the total by 5. This whole process will take about 20 seconds, because you will need to view the question, write down the numbers and then do the division calculation.

Some people will try to do all this off the top of their head, and with all the pressure and the stress, chances are you will make a mistake, get confused or lose time or worse…. let’s just say – good luck with that approach!

This is how you can solve this problem and save yourself 8-10 seconds:

When you take a look at the numbers, imagine that the numbers are set on an axis:

30__(40)__ 50__ 60__ 70__(80) __ 90

This series of numbers is symmetrical and finding the average of a symmetrical series takes …. 5 seconds

Let’s start by looking at the first and last numbers:

30 is at the same “distance” from 50 as 90 is from 70

Now let’s look at the inner numbers. 50 is at the same distance from 60 as 70 is.

The middle number in a 5-number symmetrical series is actually the average.

30__(40)__ 50__ 60__ 70__(80) __ 90

The answer is therefore, 60.

You may like to take a look at this explanation again. From our experience, when people are in the process of discovering this “symmetrical” trick, they sometimes figure out their own slightly different way to find the average in 10 seconds and that’s perfectly ok, as long as they are paying attention to the symmetrical form. All brains are wired slightly differently.

Now, on a Wonderlic test, there are about 4-5 questions, which require you to calculate an average. Generally, 50% of the questions that involve averages are based on symmetrical number series. Usually, you don’t even have to “play” with the order of the numbers, the test writers just want to see if you have a sharp eye and quickly understand the process. As this is a strong indication of good cognitive abilities in an individual. Or.. it can also be a sign that a person has learnt this trick in advance….

So from now on, on your Wonderlic test, when you will see a question that involves averages, you will look right away to see if it is symmetrical and if it is, then it will probably take you 10 seconds at the most to solve and you will likely be 100% accurate, instead of wasting 20-30 precious seconds and taking the risk of making mistakes.

So here you go – you learned a super easy tactic in just 3 minutes, and you will only need to spend 8 more minutes practicing this skill and this is how you save 30-40 seconds on your Wonderlic test, and collect other easy low-hanging fruits further on in your test.

This makes a HUGE difference!

In our Wonderlic test course you will learn and practice 20 tactics that are easy to remember and simple to implement. Tactics that will “shave” 5-10 seconds or more off the time it takes you to solve a problem. Furthermore, your level of accuracy will improve – as you will barely make mistakes.

So you probably figured out that this is not a 10-15 seconds easy question.

Even if you were a Math teacher in a high school, it would take you at least 60-90 seconds to solve – and 60-90 seconds is an Eternity in terms of the Wonderlic test.

To answer this question you need to process the data in the question, put together 2 equations with 2 variables and then solve these equations.

Is there a shortcut? No.

So what do you do? You guess it and move on to the next question.

Yes, you understood correctly.. Skip it. You can earn easy 2-3 points on different questions even on a bad day.

And this is, in many cases, can be the difference between getting hired, or getting rejected.

The following is a breakdown of how the Wonderlic Test Writers think. It’s crucial to understand their thought process before you take the test:

The Wonderlic test writers want to see how you control and manage your time, how you understand the concept of the test, and if you are aware that the clock is ticking. They also want to know if you are going to drown in any given question – AND GET INTO A VICIOUS CIRCLE OF CONFUSION. They want to see if you lose your confidence, spend time double or triple checking your work, then spend more precious time after which you realize that you are literally “getting old” during this problem solving process, and eventually guess and move on with your tail between your legs.

Not to mention, saying to yourself things like: “OMG , did I just lose like an hour on this question?”, “Is this the level of the test? More questions like that and I am ruined ”, “OK, I think I am going to fail”.

This is what 80% of test-takers are doing.

If you have already completed the Wonderlic test, this thought process should sound very familiar.

There are a few types of time traps used in the Wonderlic test, and the Wonderlic test writers like to “sprinkle” in a few of them right at the beginning of the test. They want to throw you off your game, so you quickly find yourself in dire straits, then they start the “real” test.

And not only that, be sure that the easiest points to collect are further down the road, in the second half of the test, “the promised land” that only the trained, or really bright people get to explore. Thus, it is only these individuals who get to collect the easy points.

80% of test-takers will fall into every trap along the way, over and over again.

BUT NOT YOU! NOT ANY MORE!

While most of the test takers competing with you, won’t understand why they ran out of time, and only managed to answer 28 questions out of 50 (in other words they scored low and didn’t pass the assessment) you will finish the entire test, stay calm and score far higher than most of your peers.

What you will quickly learn:

• Learn how to improve your scores consistently by up to 10 points on the Wonderlic test. Fast track your way to the job or school you want.
• Learn to quickly and accurately tackle each of the question types you’ll see on the Wonderlic test.
• Learn to use our time-saving strategies to stop that ticking clock in your head, so you can claim easy points to maximize your Wonderlic score.
• Learn how to avoid common mistakes that cost most test-takers critical points. every single point matters!
• Get comfortable with the Wonderlic test format and practice questions so that you can feel calm and confident when test time arrives. Don’t sweat it, you’ve been there before.

How is this course structured?

Let’s take a look at a quick demo video of the course

The types of Wonderlic tests covered in this course

There is a lot of confusion surrounding the different types of the Wonderlic tests, so let’s make things clearer here –

The main 2 tests are the Cognitive Ability test (AKA Wonderlic Personnel Test WPT-R) used by employers and SLE (Scholastic Level Exam) used by colleges and schools. They are almost identical, except that employers may ask you to take a personality and motivation assessment as well (Also covered in our course) .

Employers may also use a short version of the test which you will need to take online. It’s called QuickTest (WPT-Q) and there are 30 questions in 8 minutes in this version. This test is very similar to the “50 questions” one and our course prepares you for that one as well. You will need to take this test at home and after passing this QuickTest, you will also need to take the standard version as well before you attend the job interview.

The only test that is different is the Basic Skills Test. Less than 4% of the test takers need to take this version.The modules for this test are separated and this test is totally different. Please study these modules only if you have been told that you need to take this type of test.

There is another name you may encounter when you are invited to take your Wonderlic test – WonScore.

WonScore is relatively a new name and it’s Wonderlic`s platform that the employers and test administrators use to manage the assessment process. The tests that are administered through this platform are all mentioned above, so don’t let this term confuse you.

As for the Wonderlic Motivation and Personality tests, usually only job applicants need to take these tests. If you have applied for a job, then it’s recommended that you study for these tests as well, as it doesn’t take a lot of time.
