Sub-test 1 - Filing:
Instructions and Sample Questions
Sub-Test 1 is designed to measure speed and accuracy in filing items in alphabetical, numerical, or chronological order. It consists of 10 questions numbered from 1 to 10. Each question consists of a set of five names, five numbers or five dates numbered successively from (1) to (5). Arrange the names in alphabetical order, the numbers in ascending order from lowest to highest, and the dates in chronological order from earliest to most recent. Select the correct order from among the five alternatives listed below each set of items.
