4. Questions like...
They give you a list of six names to match to a column of six other names OR "No Match". And you have to select the right order of answeres on the bubble sheet.

Names like:

Allan D. Schmidt
Maria P. Rodriguez
Allan D. Schmitt
Maria P. Rodriguz

A few math questions, a few organization questions, a couple of map-reading questions, a few questions on vocabulary, a few on filling out forms.

For example: Joe Blow, 35, lives with his daughter, Mary, age 5, his nephew James, age 8, his son Matthew, age 4, and a boarder, Jim Slim, age 25. Given the specified manner of writing down this information on the form, who goes on line 2?


It was reasonably challenging. They give you 30 minutes for the test. It took me about 22 minutes, then I rechecked it.
