The Admissions Test will assess foundational probability concepts including probability distributions, expected value, and risk quantification; statistical competencies including descriptive statistics, statistical inference, and correlation and regression analysis; data visualization skills including reading charts and graphs, interpreting histograms and distributions, and identifying misleading or deceptive visualizations; and critical thinking abilities including quantitative reading and interpretation, logical reasoning, and research and data literacy. 

You have two (2) hours to complete the test. The minimum passing grade is 75%. Once you have passed the test, you will be able to complete your application. If you do not pass the test on your first attempt, you may reattempt it a second and final time after a cooling off period of seven (7) days. If you fail the test a second time, we will no longer be able to consider your application, so please make sure to give yourself sufficient time to complete it in one sitting and take the time to prepare by using these recommended open access resources:
