Entrance Exam Preparation
The Entrance Exam Study Guide is NOW AVAILABLE! Every year, we are asked by our interested applicants if there is anything they can do to help them to prepare for our entrance exam. This year, we are offering sample questions and guidance for three of the sections that are included in the exam. Math, Bennett Mechanical Comprehension, and PSI Visual Pursuit. These are not the exact questions that will be seen on the test, but they are SIMILAR. If you can become familiar with the questions asked in our study guide(s), then it will assist you with attaining a higher passing score!
