FAQ

Both tests I am considering contain 30 – 35 questions; how much time should we give test takers to complete the test?

We recommend 45 to 50 minutes for completion of a 30-35 question test. The e-testing system can be set to this timing (which we recommend), as this makes norm comparison accurate. This is the maximum time frame for assessment before cognitive fatigue sets in.
