The Wonderlic Scholastic Level Exam (SLE) and SLE-Quicktest (SLE-Q) were designed to assess students’ cognitive ability and aptitude for success in educational programs. The SLE and SLE-Q have been broadly recognized as the best predictors of academic success. As such, the SLE and SLE-Q are often used in student admissions for a multitude of educational programs. The SLE and SLE-Q help educational programs retain students, as well as improve graduation and job placement rates. Ultimately, the SLE and SLE-Q function to allow educational programs to provide consistently high-quality education to well-prepared students. Students will, in turn, be more successful in their programs; thus, reducing student loan debt and time to completion.
