FEATURES OF PROBLEM SOLVING TEST
There are three types of questions which require critical thinking and analytical
skills:
Number of Questions
Understanding data presented in tables or graphs 23
Understanding written paragraphs 18
Solving math problems 9
50 Total
You will have 65 minutes to answer the 50 questions. You are allowed to use a
calculator, although one is not required. You should use a pencil so you can erase to
change an answer.
Every question has five possible answers from which you must choose the most
correct answer. You will not have to write any essays. You will simply mark ONE of
the five answers which will be labeled A, B, C, D, E.
During the actual test, you will mark your answers on a special answer sheet separate
from the questions. If you mark more than one answer to a question, it will NOT be
counted as correct. If you change an answer, it is important to erase your first answer
so it does not appear that you have marked more than one answer.
SCORING
Each correct answer adds one point to your score. Points are NOT taken off if
you mark an incorrect answer. You should try to score as many points as you can.
