They are samples and are not intended to cover all topics, which may appear on the test.  \nStudying this booklet WILL NOT NECESSARILY IMPROVE YOUR TEST  \nSCORE.  \nJuly 2013  \nPreparing for the Office Support Exam  \nOffice Support Exam (OSE)  \nWhat kinds of questions are on the test?  \nThis test measures basic abilities and skills common to clerical and administrative support jobs. The specific areas covered by the test questions are described below.  \n1. PROCESSING INFORMATION AND DATA: 35 QUESTIONS  \nThis part of the test is designed to assess attention to detail. The questions used to do this are based on important tasks that are performed by office and administrative support positions. Oneof these is a coding task. These questions will be based on information in a table or chart. You must use this information to find the correct code for describing specific sets of circumstances contained in the test questions.  \nSample Question 1  \nPhysical Characteristics Codes  \n\n| Gender | Code | Height | Code | Weight | Code |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Male | 20 | less than 5'0\" | A1 | less than 100 lbs. | 100 |\n| Female | 30 | 5'0\" through 5'5\" | A2 | 100 through 150 lbs. | 200 |\n|  |  | 5'6\" through 5'11\" | B1 | 151 through 175 lbs. | 300 |\n|  |  | 6'0\" through 6'3\" | B2 | 176 through 200 lbs. | 400 |\n|  |  | greater than 6'3\" | C1 | more than 200 lbs. | 500 |\n\n1. What is the code for a man who is 6'1\" tall and weighs 170 pounds?  \nA. 30 – B2 – 400  \nB. 20 – B2 – 400  \nC. 20 – B2 – 300  \nD. 20 – C1 – 300  \nFrom the table, in the column labeled Gender is the entry \"Male\" followed by the code \"20\". The height of 6'1\" falls between 6’0\" and 6'3\" and in the column labeled Height, this entry is followed by the code\"B2\". Finally, the weight of \"170 pounds\" falls between 151 and 175 pounds. In the column labeled Weight, that entry is followed by the code \"300\". Therefore, the correct code for this question is \"20 – B2 – 300\", which is the answer choice indicated by the letter \"C\" for Sample Question \\#1 .  \nSample Question \\#2  \nOther questions used to assess attention to detail are based on sorting and filing tasks.  \n2. Arrange the following items in alphabetical order for filing:  \n1. Brown, John  \n2. Davis, Paul  \n3. Abbott, Ray  \n4. Ellis, Thomas  \nA. 3, 1, 2, 4  \nB. 3, 2, 1, 4  \nC. 3, 4, 1, 2  \nD. 3, 2, 4, 1  \nFirst, determine the order in which the names would be correctly filed. Then, by substituting the number designating each name, identify the corresponding sequence of numbers from the choices provided in the question. In the example:  \nAbbott, Ray (numbered 3) would be filed first.  \nBrown, John (numbered 1) would be filed second.  \nDavis, Paul (numbered 2) would be filed third.  \nEllis, Thomas (numbered 4) would be filed fourth.  \nTherefore, the correct answer to sample question \\#2 is \"3, 1, 2, 4\", which is the answer choice indicated by the letter \"A\" for Sample Question \\#2 .  \nSample Question \\#3  \n3. Arrange the following numerical values in ascending numerical order for filing:  \n1. 7523 2. 7601 3. 7574 4. 7392  \nA. 4, 3, 1, 2  \nB. 1, 3, 4, 2  \nC. 4, 1, 3, 2  \nD. 2, 4, 1, 3  \nFirst, determine the order in which the numerical values would be correctly ordered from lowest to highest value. Then, by substituting the number designating each of the numerical values, identify the corresponding sequence of numbers from the choices provided in the question. In the example:  \n7392 (numbered 4) would be filed first.  \n7523 (numbered 1) would be filed second.  \n7574 (numbered 3) would be filed third.  \n7601 (numbered 2) would be filed fourth.  \nTherefore, the correct answer to sample question \\#2 is \"4, 1, 3, 2\", which is the answer choice indicated by the letter \"C\" for Sample Question \\#3 .  \nSample Question \\#4  \n4.
