Wonderlic Practice Test #2

Question 1

Which THREE of the following words have the same meaning?

Accepted Answer

outstanding

Answer

The words 'outstanding' and 'distinguished' are strong synonyms, both describing something or someone as exceptionally good, remarkable, and highly respected. While 'atypical' generally means unusual or not conforming to type, it can sometimes imply standing out from the norm in a way that is notable or exceptional, especially when referring to a quality or performance that is superior. In this context, all three words can describe something that is notably different from the ordinary.

Question 2

What number would come next in the following number sequence?  6,001  7,013  8,025  9,037  ______

Accepted Answer

10,049

Answer

Analyze the pattern in the sequence by looking at the changes in the numbers. The thousands digit increases by 1 each time (6, 7, 8, 9, so next is 10). The last two digits (or the number after the thousands place) increase by 12 each time (1 to 13, 13 to 25, 25 to 37). Therefore, the next number will be 10,000 plus (37 + 12), resulting in 10,049.

Question 3

Up is to down as east is to _____.

Accepted Answer

west

Answer

This is an analogy based on antonyms or opposite directions. 'Up' is the direct opposite of 'down' in terms of vertical direction. Similarly, 'east' is the direct opposite of 'west' in terms of cardinal horizontal direction.

Question 4

Jeff wants to buy a new motorcycle that costs $7,000.00.

Accepted Answer

35

Answer

Although the question is incomplete, a common Wonderlic pattern for such problems involves calculating the number of periods needed to reach a financial goal. Assuming the question asks how many weeks it would take Jeff to save $7,000 if he saves $200 per week, dividing the total cost ($7,000) by the weekly savings ($200) yields 35 weeks.

Question 5

The words allude and elude have ______ meanings.

Accepted Answer

unrelated

Answer

The words 'allude' and 'elude' are homophones or near-homophones, meaning they sound similar but have distinct meanings. 'Allude' means to refer to something indirectly or to hint at it, while 'elude' means to escape from or avoid something. Therefore, their meanings are unrelated.
