The WBST consists of two sections. The verbal section consists of 50 questions and the quantitative section consists of 45 questions. Test takers are given 20 minutes to complete each section. The WBST’s verbal evaluations include questions on word knowledge, sentence construction and information retrieval. There are three categories of verbal questions, including “applied” questions that test reading comprehension, sentence construction, grammar and the meanings of words; “explicit” questions on the meaning of words, grammar and the construction of sentences; and “interpretive” questions, testing the use of diagrams, charts, tables and graphs. Furthermore, the verbal content falls into three primary domains. There are questions that ask test takers to identify and interpret information in various formats, like long-form literature and instructional lists. There is a domain that asks test takers to accurately indicate the meaning of a word within a context by choosing the word from a set of options to complete a provided sentence. Lastly, there is a domain meant to test grammar skills by asking the test taker to complete sentences or recognize errors in sentences. On the math side, test takers are quizzed on their explicit quantitative skills (including algebra and direct computation), applied quantitative skills (the practical application of math operations) and interpretive quantitative skills (such as the use of charts, tables and graphs). Just like with the verbal section, there are three primary domains for WBST’s math section. Questions fall into either the “basic computation” domain, where questions require basic addition, subtraction and division; the “basic computation and quantitative evaluation” domain, in which test takers are asked to conduct addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as well as computing rates and percentages and interpreting basic graphs; and the “algebra and geometry” domain, which ask participants to compute rates, proportions and percentages as well as solve variable expressions and calculate the length, angle, area and/or volume of certain shapes. The verbal evaluation and quantitative evaluation can be taken individually or the complete test can be administered all at once, depending on the administrator’s needs.
