The Advanced Skills Test — higher-level math, data analysis, and complex verbal reasoning for management and professional roles.
The WPT measures basic cognitive speed; the WAST measures advanced application. WAST math involves percentage change, ratio analysis, and data-table interpretation, and verbal questions require multi-passage reasoning — not simple word analogies.
WAST vs WPT — what's the actual difference?
The WPT measures basic cognitive speed; the WAST measures advanced application. WAST math involves percentage change, ratio analysis, and data-table interpretation, and verbal questions require multi-passage reasoning — not simple word analogies.
What score do you need on the WAST?
Unlike the WPT there is no public NFL-style score. Passing lines are set by each employer or school. Management roles typically look for performance in the top 50th percentile or better.
How to prepare for the WAST in one week
Take a timed baseline first, then target your weak section (Quantitative or Verbal). Drill that section daily, then retest to see improvement.
WAST sample questions — what to expect
Expect data-table analysis, business-scenario calculations, and multi-passage reading — a clear step up from WPT's simple arithmetic and vocabulary analogies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about the Wonderlic WAST.
What is the Wonderlic WAST?
The WAST (Wonderlic Advanced Skills Test) is a higher-level cognitive assessment for management and professional roles — it tests advanced math, data analysis, and complex verbal reasoning.
How is WAST different from the regular Wonderlic (WPT)?
The WPT measures basic cognitive speed; the WAST measures advanced application. WAST questions are harder — business scenarios, data tables, multi-passage reading.
How many questions are on the WAST?
50 questions in 12 minutes, like the WPT — but the difficulty is calibrated higher for management and professional candidates.
What is a passing score for the WAST?
There is no single cutoff — each employer or school sets its own. Management roles often look for performance in the top half of test-takers.
Is the WAST harder than the WPT?
Yes. The WAST deliberately tests more advanced skills — compound growth, data interpretation, and complex passage reasoning — which is why a WPT drill alone won't prepare you.
Can I use WPT practice tests to prepare for the WAST?
No. The WPT and WAST measure different difficulty levels. Use a WAST-specific bank — this page and its questions are calibrated for the Advanced Skills Test, not recycled from WPT sets.
