Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Practice Test – Prep, Questions & Study Guide

The scoring structure for the Wonderlic Test is designed to provide a clear and straightforward measure of cognitive ability, where each correct answer earns one point, and there are no penalties for incorrect answers. This means that test-takers can answer questions freely without the risk of losing points for any mistakes, encouraging them to attempt as many questions as possible. The approach reflects an emphasis on assessing a person's knowledge and reasoning capabilities, rather than punishing them for guessing. As a result, the final score directly corresponds to the number of correctly answered questions, making it easy to interpret a test-taker’s cognitive abilities based on their total score.
