Yeah, I always get 100% on that one... It's just amazing to me how everyone is calling Sam Bradford's 36 'acing' the wonderlic.... 36 out of 50 is 72% which would be a C-... That's far from acing it.

[SIZE=-1]I wish my tests to get into my profession were like that. Try solving one of these per minute for 30 minutes.

What is x - y?

1) x + y = 8

2) x - 2y = 2

A) if statement (1) by itself is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (2) by itself is not;
B) if statement (2) by itself is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (1) by itself is not;
C) if statements (1) and (2) taken together are sufficient to answer the question, even though neither
statement by itself is sufficient;
D) If either statement by itself is sufficient to answer the question;
E) If statements (1) and (2) taken together are not sufficient to answer the question, requiring more data pertaining to the problem.

x - y = 4

I see what your point is though. Having to do one of those in a minute is pretty difficult.

You're not actually solving the problem. It's hard to break that mentality. Especially if you are unlucky and get that section the last 30 minutes of the 4 hour test. I suppose some people might find that part easier than the others.

Yeah. You have 12 minutes for 50 questions. It would be interesting to see statistics on how many were answered incorrectly out of those answered v. those not even attempted because time ran out.

50 questions in 12 minutes would mean you only get about 15 seconds to answer each question.

some Q's should only take 2 seconds to answer.
I thought I had read that you lose more points for a wrong answer vs not answering at all

I did those 20 questions in about 4 minutes, at that pace I could finish it in about 10 minutes.
