HOBET TEST

The HOBET (Health Occupations Basic Entrance Test) provides an objective measurement of your critical reading ability, evaluates your level of success with basic mathematics, determines your effective speed in reading college level material and identifies how you approach study and which learning approach is most effective for you.

The HOBET test is one of several criteria that determine fitness and aptitude for a variety of health care occupations. The HOBET is administered by computer. The test taker is expected to have a functioning knowledge of algebra, fractions, percentages, statistics and other math functions. Generally speaking, the reading comprehension and math questions are at a tenth-grade level.

The health care environment is notorious for placing a great amount of stress on individuals who must deal with patient health concerns and anxieties, as well as the practical problems of medical treatment. The HOBET identifies whether a candidate can interact socially in a positive manner and deal with considerable stress. The exam also determines the test taker's favored learning style. Test-taking ability is another area measured by the test.
