You can always come back and try it again if there is time.  \n6. Work steadily, and complete as many questions as you can.

This battery of achievement tests has been designed specifically for the Canadian adult, regardless of his or her previous school experience.  \nTHE PURPOSE OF THE CAAT TEST  \nConestoga College uses the CAAT test as a pre-admission instrument to assess an applicant’s readiness for College programs. Please note that the College does not issue a Statement of Equivalency as part of the test results.  \nWHAT TO EXPECT  \nYou will be asked to complete 104 questions in 110 minutes.  \nWe do not allow the use of calculators, dictionaries or learning aids.  \nTHE READING COMPREHENSION TEST  \nThe final goal of reading instruction is comprehension of written material. The Reading Comprehension sub-test assesses reading comprehension with three types of reading material. Textual content is similar to that found in non-fiction and general information materials. Recreational content includes material read for enjoyment, including fiction, humour, literary criticism, and poetry. Functional content is the type of material encountered in everyday life, eg. directions, forms, advertising, and labels. Test items are constructed to measure literal, inferential, and critical levels of comprehension.  \nSAMPLES:  \nTALL TALES  \nLight from the candles bounced off the dark windows and made strange shadows on the walls. After hearing Uncle Sal’s stories, we all sat nervously, listening for creaking footsteps and squeaking doors. Leo was the first to speak.  \n“You don’t really believe all those stories about the old Potter place, do you, Uncle Sal?”  \n“I don’t know,” Uncle Sal said slowly,“no one has seen Mr. Potter in town for the last five years. Some say he hasn’t set foot out of the house.”  \n1 What time of day is it in the story?  \na) Morning c) Afternoon  \nb) Noon d) Evening  \n2 What kind of stories did Uncle Sal tell?  \na) Peaceful c) Sad  \nb) Scary d) Funny  \nSAVE ENERGY, SAVE MONEY, SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT  \nHow energy is used in Ontario homes * for an annual energy bill of $2,000  \nType  \nSpace heating Water heating Appliances Lighting Cooling  \nPercentage  \n57-62%  \n20-21%  \n12-13%  \n4-5% 0-7%  \nDollar estimate  \n$1,140- $1,240 $400- $420 $240- $260 $80- $100  \n$0- $200  \n*Many factors can affect your annual energy bill, such as size and location of your home, yearly variations in weather, efficiency of your furnace and other appliances, thermostat settings, number of occupants, and the local cost of energy.  \n3 If an annual energy bill was $1,500, approximately how much of it was for heating water?  \na) $500 c) $300  \nb) $100 d) $200  \n4 Presently your annual electric bill is $2,000 .
