Rules of the Test
Silence your phone, put away any notes, put your computer on do not disturb (or out of the room), and do not have any food or drinks during the test. You may only have a drink or snack during the 10-minute break.
Please do not look at any individual test section until the time to actively work through that section has come.
Once the timer has run out, your opportunity to fill in answers on the bubble sheet has ended. Leave that section and do not return to it for the duration of the test.
*Note that there is no penalty for guessing, BUT complete guesses can skew your results and give you a false sense of your capabilities. Since this test is meant to be diagnostic, only guess if you’re highly confident in your guess.
Submission Instructions
To submit your completed bubble sheet, please use a scanner or scanning app to get a clear pdf scan of your document. The form should be completely in frame and centered, and there should be no glare on the page or filled-in bubbles.
If you are unable to scan and must submit a picture, we’ll accept TIF or less ideally JPEG, JPG, or PNG. But, be aware that processing may take longer.
Please check your scan against the examples below before you submit.
