Wonderlic WBST study plan

Build a 150-word vocabulary log of high-frequency test words, writing a personal sentence for each

Annotate 12 short passages to mark main idea, supporting detail, and author's purpose

Answer 40 vocabulary-in-context items and record every miss with the reason for the error

Practice eliminating wrong answer choices aloud on 10 items to build a deletion habit

Drill arithmetic without a calculator: fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios across 60 items

Convert between fractions, decimals, and percents for 30 values until conversion is automatic

Solve 25 order-of-operations and estimation items under a 45-second-per-item cap

Log every arithmetic slip into a one-page 'error pattern' sheet by category

Rewrite 20 faulty sentences to fix subject-verb agreement, pronoun reference, and modifier placement

Sort 30 usage items into correct vs. incorrect and justify each judgment in one line

Complete 4 timed 8-minute reading sets to build passage-skimming speed

Identify and correct the 10 most common punctuation and sentence-structure errors in a self-written drill set

Translate 30 word problems into equations before solving any of them

Solve 25 linear equations and 15 basic geometry items (perimeter, area, angle rules)

Interpret 6 tables and graphs, writing one sentence per item explaining the needed operation

Build a one-page formula and conversion reference sheet from memory, then verify it

Complete 3 mixed 20-minute timed sets alternating verbal and quantitative blocks

Cut average per-item time on verbal items to under 25 seconds and on quantitative items to under 45 seconds

Re-teach the 10 most frequently missed concepts by writing a short explanation of each in your own words

Review all prior error logs and mark each error as knowledge gap, careless slip, or pacing issue

Target the lowest-scoring subskill from week 5 with 60 focused practice items

Re-drill vocabulary and formulas using spaced recall across 4 short sessions

Practice skip-and-return strategy on 40 items to protect pacing on hard questions

Write and self-score 10 original practice items per domain to test true understanding

Complete 3 full-length timed simulations under strict test conditions with no pauses

Compare section scores across simulations and identify the two most volatile subskills

Rehearse a fixed pacing plan for each section and hold to it across all three simulations

Review every miss from the simulations and re-solve each one cold within 24 hours

Re-solve the 30 hardest previously missed items without notes until all are correct

Run 2 final short timed sets to confirm pacing and warm-up routine

Finalize a one-page cue card of formulas, vocabulary roots, and grammar rules for last-minute review

Simulate test-day logistics: sleep timing, arrival buffer, and a written anxiety-management routine
