Can you retake the Wonderlic test?
That is the employer’s decision, not the test’s. Ask before you sit it, and treat a first attempt as the one that counts.
Updated November 15, 2026
It depends on who sent you the test
Retake rules belong to the company or school that gave you the test. Some allow another attempt after a waiting period. Many do not. We cannot see your employer’s policy, so ask the recruiter directly before you start.
If you only get one attempt
Then practice is the whole game. Take at least two full timed practice tests before the real one and look at your pace map, not only your score. The Wonderlic test day checklist covers the last 24 hours.
Do not use a real attempt as practice
Practicing on the real test, when you are allowed more than one go, costs an attempt that might count. Practicing on our free Wonderlic practice test costs nothing.
Frequently asked questions
How many times can you take the Wonderlic?
