The Applied Mathematics–Extended test measures the skills people use when they apply mathematical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving techniques to work-related problems. The test questions require the examinee to set up and solve the types of problems and do the types of calculations that actually occur in the workplace.
This test is designed to be taken with a calculator. A formula sheet that includes all formulas required for the assessment is provided. While individuals may use calculators and conversion tables to help with the problems, they still need to use math skills to think them through.
The new WorkKeys tests, Reading for Information–Extended and Applied Mathematics–Extended, measure a broader range of skills and enhance the role of WorkKeys for programs using the National Reporting System for Adult Education (NRS) (opens new window). The original WorkKeys assessments for reading and mathematics produce scores ranging from Level 3 to Level 7. Extended assessments report scores in the same range and also produce Level 1 and Level 2 scores.
