What is the Wonderlic SLE?
Wonderlic describes the Scholastic Level Exam as a cognitive ability test for predicting student success. The standard version is 50 questions in 12 minutes. Schools can give it online or on paper, and it is designed for proctored settings. A shorter remote Quicktest version has 30 questions in 8 minutes.
What score do you need?
That is decided by your school or program. Wonderlic says results come as a one-page report that indicates fit for specific programs. We cannot see any school’s cut-off and we do not publish pass marks. Check your program’s own admissions materials.
How to prepare
The format matches the 50-question, 12-minute clock, so the same pace skills apply. A full timed practice run shows whether you can keep a steady speed across all 50 questions. Try our free Wonderlic practice test, then read how to pass the Wonderlic.
