The Reading Comprehension section consists of 36 questions within 51 minutes. There will be a short break between the two sections. There are no penalties for guessing.

If you will need special accommodations during the test make arrangements with the training center as soon as you receive your aptitude test date.
Tests are scored by an independent facility. The training center will receive the results approximately two to four weeks after you test and you will then be notified of the results by email. If you receive a qualifying score on the test battery you will be scheduled for an oral interview. Interviews are conducted once per year in February/March. If you do not obtain a qualifying score on the test battery you must wait six months before re-applying and re-testing.
