- Reading: Multiple-choice questions related to reading skills, such as identifying the main idea and making inferences.
- Math: Multiple-choice questions that measure a student’s understanding of math. As a student answers more questions correctly, the more advanced the questions may become, including some Algebra questions.
- Writing: An assessment of conventions of Standard Written English sentence structure, usage, and punctuation.
- Computer Skills: Assesses students’ competency in basic computer skills and helps institutions place students in the correct computer skills courses or waive a computer skills requirement.
There are a set number of questions in each section to pinpoint a student’s skill level. The test is not timed and students are encouraged to take plenty of time for each question. The average testing time is one hour.
