Before you start

Work quickly and do not guess. The FAQ says scores of examinees who finish too few items may be penalized, and random guessing usually hurts more than that penalty.
Check each answer to see the explanation before moving on. Checked answers cannot be changed.
Questions are original practice written to the subtest descriptions in the Army’s SIFT FAQ. The Army does not publish sample screens, so layouts are ours. Read the study guide.
