Wonderlic SLE study plan

Take one full 50-question, 12-minute diagnostic and record raw score, per-domain accuracy, and questions left blank

Build a running vocabulary log of 60 unfamiliar words drawn from practice reading passages, with a one-line definition and a self-written sentence for each

Complete 3 untimed verbal sets to establish accuracy before adding speed

Write a personal pacing rule (e.g., seconds-per-question budget) and apply it to one timed 12-minute verbal drill

Drill 4 timed verbal sets of 20 questions in 5 minutes each and log accuracy after every set

Review every verbal error and label the cause as misread, unknown word, or time pressure

Rehearse core arithmetic facts (times tables through 12, common squares, fraction-to-decimal conversions) until 40 correct in 2 minutes

Practice 20 single-step word problems with calculator-free arithmetic

Solve 60 percent, ratio, and average problems with work shown, then re-solve missed items cold

Practice 30 multi-step word problems, estimating the answer before computing to build answer-choice elimination

Complete 3 timed quantitative sets of 15 questions in 4 minutes and record accuracy

Convert 20 word problems into a one-line equation or proportion before solving

Run 4 mixed verbal-plus-quantitative timed sets of 25 questions in 6 minutes

Identify the 5 question types where you lose the most time and write a skip decision rule for each

Re-drill 40 previously missed items from the week 1-3 error logs and score them again

Simulate full 12-minute pacing twice and count blanks

Work 50 figure-sequence and pattern-completion items, writing the transformation rule for each before answering

Practice 30 spatial rotation and folding items using a drawn sketch or finger-trace method

Drill 25 verbal-to-figure analogy items and name the relationship type for each

Complete 2 timed abstract sets of 15 questions in 4 minutes

Run 4 timed mixed sets combining abstract items with verbal reasoning at exam speed

Re-solve 30 missed abstract items without notes and record which rule types still fail

Practice rapid vocabulary recall on 100 logged words, retiring words answered correctly twice

Review 15 reading passages for main-idea and inference questions under a 45-second-per-passage cap

Complete 4 full 50-question, 12-minute simulations under exam conditions with no pausing

Score each simulation per domain and chart accuracy against week 1 and week 4 benchmarks

Rebuild the error log into a top-10 recurring mistake list with a fix for each

Rehearse the first-30-seconds strategy: scan for easy items, answer those first, then return

Run 3 final full simulations on separate days, tapering volume while keeping timed conditions

Re-drill only the top-10 mistake list items until each is answered correctly twice in a row

Finalize the pacing plan: target question count at the halfway mark and a hard cutoff for abandoning an item

Confirm logistics (scratch paper, no calculator, quiet 12-minute block) with one dress-rehearsal session
