One of the questions they ask you is the following:

"What's the difference between a duck?"


Seriously.

They test reading comprehension and basic math skills. No calculators are allowed. Test is timed. Read carefully and work quickly.

When I worked for the DDA they give you a standardized reading comprehension and math test.

If English is your first language you will have no problem.
I remember them showing me a picture of a dog and asking me what it was. I'm not even joking.

I had 60mins to do the English test and 60mins to do the math portion. It took 15-20mins each exam. There was an older lady taking the test with me. She failed it three times already...
