Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wonderlic Basic Skills Test used for?
The WBST is used as an admissions or placement test by colleges and career schools, and as a Department of Education-approved ability-to-benefit test for some Title IV student-aid eligibility decisions.
How is WBST different from the Wonderlic SLE?
The Wonderlic Scholastic Level Exam (SLE) is a general cognitive-ability test (50 Q in 12 min). The WBST is a basic-skills test with separate verbal and math sections (95 Q in 40 min) focused on whether the test taker has foundational academic skills.
What scores do schools accept?
Scores are reported separately for verbal and math. Institutions set their own cut scores; Title IV ability-to-benefit programs have federally published minimum thresholds.
