How to Prepare for the Wonderlic Test

The Wonderlic Test is a standardized test that some employers use to assess the abilities of workers or prospective workers. It became popular in the 1970s, when the National Football League (NFL) began to administer the test to prospective draftees. There used to be only one Wonderlic Test, but now there are two: the The Wonderlic Basic Skills Test (WBST) which measures basics like math and reading and the WPT (Wonderlic Personnel Test) which measures cognitive or problem solving skills.
