APTITUDE TEST
There are two parts to this aptitude test. The goal is to complete as many as possible with as few errors per each section within the time allotted. You can see samples of each test below.

Part 1
Total Questions: 80
Amount of Time: 8 minutes
Directions: In the KEY, each letter is indicated by a number (see sample below). Each line has 4 letters (example: ESNA), click the checkboxes that correspond with the 4 numbers that go with the 4 letters (example: 1349).  If there is a duplicate letter among the 4 letters, there may only be 3 numbers checked.  For example, the answer for “KASK” would be 294 because the letter K is repeated. Review the sample test below.
