 What's up everyone takedown here welcome back to another video as I mentioned in the last career journey video I did apply to corrections and I got an email saying that I was ready to take what is their selection process so the first step was to take the wonderlick test which I recently did and I just got an email a couple days ago stating that I passed and I was ready to move on to the next part for corrections so today I'm going to be talking about the wonderlick test to share my thoughts and to help you guys get ready for it but also take a practice test so you guys know what to expect on the actual test let's get right into this so for those that don't know what the wonderlick test is it is a 50 multiple choice question 12 minute timed test and a lot of people start to freak out whenever they hear that however they just want to see how many you can answer correctly in the 12 minutes you don't have to answer all 50 questions and for example if you don't answer let's say 20 questions the last 20 questions that does not affect your score whatsoever they just want to see in the 12 minutes allowed how many you can answer correctly out of the 50 also the wonderlick test as I mentioned I was taking it for corrections but it's for multiple different careers anything from nurses engineers NFL players or even cashiers it's for multiple jobs so it's not just for corrections which is why I took it so now let's check out this free practice test and I'm going to leave this one linked down below okay so this is the free wonderlick practice test like I said I'm going to leave it links down below and I'm basically just going to go through all the questions and basically explain them a little bit more and go step by step and also talk about some other questions that might be on it that are not on this practice test now I just want to state that the questions that are on this practice test are not the exact ones that are going to be on the real test because that would be cheating and I could get in a lot of trouble if I shared the actual questions so I'm not going to be doing that this practice test is going to be based on questions that are similar to the ones that you will expect to see on the actual exam so the first question here Emma and Anna went to the market to buy 25 fruits Emma got a few apples that cost two dollars each and Anna bought some oranges which cost three dollars each if they're combined total was 60 dollars how many oranges did Anna get so this is a math word problem so I don't know how the actual equation goes I try to answer it as best as I could because it's a time test so what I did was I took the 60 dollars that they spent in total and I basically wanted to find out how many fruits that Anna bought and how many fruits that Emma bought so I did go 60 divided by 2 which gave me 30 dollars so basically that's them dividing it in half evenly and they took that 30 dollars and for Anna for the oranges they cost three dollars each so I took 30 divided by 3 which gave me an answer of 10 now to check to see if this was right I wanted to see the total amount of fruits to see if Emma is getting 15 so I took 60 divided by 2 which was 30 and then I took 30 divided by 2 which was how much the apples cost which gave a total of 15 so if you add 15 and 10 that is 25 that is how many fruit they bought all together so the answer to the first question is 10 the next question over a four month period two students borrowed the following number of books student one board 2015 17 and 18 student two got 18 20 15 and 12 so it is going to show you a charts here with no numbers or anything on it and you basically want to find given the data that they gave you which one is the correct chart right away I'm going to say that the area right answer is chart a because it does match next question 3 is a 3d shape that is unfolded and you basically want to find out which of the numbered corners when it's folded back together is going to hit the x here touch that corner so if you were to fold this cube back up it should be e that touches that corner and that's what I'm going to choose but it shouldn't just be on the actual test it's not just going to be a cube it could be any 3d shape and you're basically going to want to it's going to be all unfolded and you're going to want to basically think of how it's going to be folded back together in which corner is touching where it wants you to get the right answer for so a lot of people struggle with that but that one's not too bad the next question here is a pattern so it could be anything from number patterns or for this one here is actual shapes so this one here we're going to do the black line first so it is up then it's to the left then it's down so this one here should be to the left I'm assuming which is e I'm going to check the gray line though so gray lines here then it's up then it's there so it should be to the right so I'm going to guess e is the right answer now some are going to be a little bit trickier than this one here but they're going to be basically a pattern where you have to solve the next question is another math problem and I find the math word problems people struggle with the most so this one here question five a total of a hundred and fourteen thousand dollars will be evenly spent to build 12 bungalows if the first five bungalows have been completed and paid for then blank is available for the remaining bungalows so this one here you're going to take the total amounts that is used so a hundred and fourteen thousand dollars you're going to divide that by twelve to find out how much each bungalow will cost to build and that gives you a total of nine thousand five hundred then you're going to take the nine thousand five hundred and times that by five because five are already built and you're going to get an answer of forty seven thousand five hundred then to find out what the remaining number is you're going to take a hundred and fourteen thousand minus forty seven thousand five hundred and the answer is sixty six thousand five hundred so the answer to this one is sixty six thousand five hundred so there will be and I can verify this because I took the test there is going to be questions like this on the actual test so you're basically just going to want to work through it like I just did and some of them for these ones even though it tells you not to use a calculator I'm sure people do because some of the answers the choices that it gives you are so close you don't have much room for error question six is a nether word problem but basically it's a it's kind of an easy one and a quick one so within the first four months of the year Vicki was able to serve the following number of burgers three hundred and seventy three hundred and thirty four hundred and sixty and four hundred and twenty the average number of the burgers she served each month was blank so basically you're just going to want to find out what the average is so to do that you're going to add them all up which is fifteen hundred and eighty you're going to divide that by four which is three hundred and ninety five so on the test you might have four numbers that you have to find the average four five numbers so basically you're just going to want to add them all up divide by four and that's going to give you your average so this one here is three ninety five but like I just said for the last question they don't give you much room for error three ninety three ninety five three eighty five four oh five four ten all of them are really close so without a calculator I think a lot of people would honestly struggle with this one the next question is another math question so expect to see in my opinion a few tricky questions ones that will make you stumble and think and then a few quick ones like the puzzles I just went through near the beginning so for this one here so what you're going to do is you're going to take one million dollars divide it by four to find out how much each of them are going to make by dividing it equally and that is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and then you're going to add all of the invested money together so two hundred thousand five hundred five hundred and eight hundred that gives you a total of two million dollars that was invested you're going to take the two million dollars and divide it by two hundred thousand dollars which is what investor a invested which gives you ten percent so he only invested ten percent so then you're going to take the one million dollars and you're going to divide that by ten percent and that gives you a hundred thousand dollars so if investor if all the investors decided to whatever out of the million that was earns if they decided to divide that million dollars based on the amounts that they invested investor a would only receive a hundred thousand dollars profits whereas because they're dividing evenly he is receiving two hundred and fifty thousand dollars so the answer to this one is a hundred and fifty thousand dollars so there is word problems like that math problems and you just have to work through them as quickly as you can next is another pattern and this one I can verify that it is going to be on it very similar ones basically it's going to give you a pattern right here and out of the choices you're going to want to choose three of them to make this pattern but two different colors cannot overlap so for example here with a the two gray ones they are correct and then the two blue ones they are correct so one of the answers is a then b blues correct top blues correct and then gray is correct it does overlap but it is the same color so b is another one and that leaves us with this one here that we need so the only one that has this gray is e and blue overlaps but it's the same color so that's fine so the answers to this one is a b and e now there is going to be ones like this on it so just go as quickly as you can it doesn't really take that much time number nine is a word problem the words lenience and forbearing have a blank meaning so you're basically going to want to just select the right one which is similar for this instance now it's going to have different word problems for example it could have something for green is to grass as blue is to blank and one of the options might be the sky so that would be what you would choose so it's going to have word problems like that word problems like this there's also going to be ones where it gives you a definition to a word and it's going to give you multiple words with very close definitions and you have to select the right one so there's going to be ones like that and the last question for this free practice test is the office floor is 250 feet by 80 feet the conference room is 50 feet by 20 feet which covers blank of the office so for this one here it's pretty easy you're going to take 250 times 80 which is 20 000 then you're going to take the conference room 50 times 20 which is 1000 then you're going to take the 20 000 divided by 1000 which gives you 20 percent so the conference room covers 20 percent of the office so not too hard but again if you had a calculator it would be way easier so this is the practice test if you find that you're struggling with the practice test then I recommend just going and trying to find a few more free practice tests taking them trying to get your timing down so you can answer them as fast as you can but also so you know how to find the right answers but this practice test will be leave links down below in the description I recommend checking it out and just taking a bunch of practice tests to prepare you for the test of course any big test that's going to affect your career I recommend for sure preparing for it before just going and diving into it the next thing that I have to do for corrections is a two hour four part test which is a few different things it is basically common sense stuff to me there is writing reports which I do at my current job anyways and a few other aspects so it's going to be interesting but whenever I take that test and get the results I'll share hopefully a practice test for that with you guys but also I'll talk about the test itself like I did for the Wonder Lake test so hope this hasn't helped you guys try to not stress out so much over the Wonder Lake test because in my opinion it's not too hard it's just it is a time test so it does stress a lot of people out I'm going to leave this video here hope you guys enjoy please take care peace
