Wonderlic Basic Skills Test

A man wearing glasses and headphones works at a laptop, possibly preparing for a skills test. He holds a pen and appears focused, as if reviewing student admissions materials. He's seated in a bright room with plants in the background.

You’re looking to identify students’
basic math and English skills levels based upon occupational program.

So, let's get back to basics.

A woman with glasses reads a document, pen in hand, as if preparing for a student admissions review, in one rhombus frame. In a smaller rhombus, a man with glasses holds a pen and gazes thoughtfully upward. Green and yellow geometric shapes form the skills test backdrop.

With this test, you can compare student results to the skills required for entry-level jobs.

Scores are aligned with the US Department of Labor’s General Educational Development levels, so you can be confident that your students will be successful both at your institution and on the job.

“Basically,” we’ve got you covered (groan).
