What is a good Wonderlic score?

What is the average Wonderlic score?

Wonderlic’s own test-prep page says the average score on the classic 50-question test is around 20, and that there is no single passing score that applies to every job. Our percentile estimates assume a slightly higher mean of about 21 among people who take the test.

Is there a passing score?

No universal one. Employers choose their own cut-offs and usually do not publish them. Be wary of any site that gives an exact passing score for a specific company or job without naming where it came from. We do not publish them.

Wonderlic also says its current Select test does not produce a single numerical score for candidates, so the number you saw on older guides may not apply to your test.

How to read your practice result

One practice test is a sample. Take two and look at both. Your pace map matters as much as the number: it tells you whether your score is limited by knowledge or by time. See the Wonderlic score chart for the estimated percentile at each score, then take the free Wonderlic practice test.
