Scoring

Rule	Value
Correct	+2.0 accuracy points
Speed bonus	+0.2 if correct and response time ≤ 25 seconds
Item window	45 seconds
Form maximum composite	110 (accuracy max 100 + speed index max 10)

Speed bonus (pro–test-taker)

The speed component is optional upside for fast correct work. Slow correct answers still receive full accuracy credit. Incorrect answers never receive speed credit. This design rewards speed of accurate thinking relevant to many jobs without punishing careful correct solvers on the accuracy scale.

Use limits

Not a medical examination or clinical diagnosis

Not sole basis for hire, reject, promote, or federal selection

Human review required for employment use

Adverse-impact monitoring remains the employer/agency responsibility

Accommodations: extended time and/or speed component disabled on approved request
