The WorkKeys NCRC Skill Levels

What do the skill levels mean in Applied Math, Locating Information and Reading for Information?

How are they different?

What are WorkKeys test questions like for each level?

14

Exercise 2: WorkKeys Problem ExamplesThe Applied Mathematics Skill

The skill people use to solve work-related problems by applying basic math reasoning and operations. Level of skill determined by how difficult the problem is and the number or type of math operations used.

Level 3:

15

• Do basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) using whole numbers and decimals.

• Convert a number from one form to another using whole numbers, fractions, decimals or percentages (such as convert ½ to 50%).

• Solve straightforward problems using a single type of math operation.

• Easily translate a word problem into a math equation when all the needed information is provided in the order it is needed.

Exercise 2Applied Math – Level 3 Example

Read the question and see if you can select the best answer. You may use a calculator. Circle your answer on the Exercise 2 handout.

You buy office supplies for your company. You recently spent $5.85 on notepads, $1.45 on pens and $10.70 on copy paper.

Question 1

How much did you spend on office supplies?

16

A. $12.15

B. $16.55

C. $18.00

D. $19.00

Exercise 2Applied Math – Level 3 Answer

Did you answer the question correctly?

To solve this problem, you must add the cost of all the supplies to get the total amount:

$5.65 + $1.45 + $10.70 = $18.00

This is a Level 3 Applied Math problem because you had to use only one math operation (addition) to add three whole numbers and decimals together.

17

Exercise 2Applied Math – Level 4 Description

In addition to Level 3 skills, persons with Level 4 skills can:

18

• Perform one or two math operations using several positive (such as 10) or negative (such as -2) numbers.

• Add commonly known fractions, decimals and percentages or add three fractions that share a common denominator.

• Calculate averages, simple ratios, proportions and rates using whole numbers and decimals.

• Reorder verbal information before performing calculations.

• Decide math operation(s) to perform and in what order.

• Read a simple chart or graph to obtain information needed to solve a problem.

Exercise 2Applied Math – Level 4 Example

You are the receiving supervisor in your company’s warehouse. Part of your job is to track the number of deliveries that are received. Your records show that 16 deliveries were received on Monday, 11 on Tuesday, 18 on Wednesday, 13 on Thursday, 19 on Friday and 7 on Saturday.

Question 2

On the average, what was the number of deliveries received each day?

19

A. 12

B. 14

C. 16.8

D. 84

Exercise 2Applied Math – Level 4 Answer

You had to calculate an average:

20

• Add to get the total deliveries (84 total deliveries)• Divide the total number of deliveries by the number of days (6 days).

Set up and solve the equation:

84 deliveries ÷ 6 days = 14

The average number of deliveries received each day was 14.

This was a Level 4 Applied Math skill because you had to perform more than one step of calculation and use two math operations (addition and division) to figure out an average.

Exercise 2Applied Math Level 5 Description

In addition to Level 3 and 4 skills, people with Level 5 skills can:

21

• Calculate single step conversions within one system of measurement (e.g. grams and kilograms) or between systems of measurement (e.g. pounds and kilograms),

• Use a formula to perform a calculation,• Calculate using mixed units (e.g. 3.5 hours and 4 hours 30

minutes),• Do several steps of calculations,• Calculate percent discounts or markups,• Decide what information, calculations or conversions are

needed to solve problems.

Exercise 2Applied Math Level 5 Example

Estrella is a pharmacist in the hospital pharmacy. She has received an order from one of the doctors to prepare a prescription for a patient. She mixes 3 grams of compound with 5,000 milligrams of solution to create the prescription.

Hint: 1 milligram = .001 gram

Question 3

How many total grams is this prescription?

22

A. 5

B. 8

C. 11

D. 15

Exercise 2Applied Math Level 5 Answer

• What is the problem asking? Total grams (addition)• First - convert milligrams to grams (1 milligram = .001 gram):

5,000 mg x .001 g = 5 grams• Add compound and solution to get total grams:

5 g + 3 g = 8 grams• The correct answer is B – 8 grams.

23

This is a Level 5 Applied Math skill because you had to decide what information you need, perform a single conversion (milligrams to grams) within a system of measurement and use a formula (1 milligram = .001 gram) to solve a problem.

Exercise 2Applied Math Level 6 Description

In addition to Level 5 skills, people with Level 6 skills can:

24

• Rearrange a formula before solving a problem,• Use two formulas to change from one unit to another within

the same system of measurement or between systems of measurement,

• Find mistakes in items that belong at Levels 3, 4 and 5,• Find the best deal and use the result for another calculation,• Find the areas of basic shapes when it may be necessary to

rearrange the formula, convert units or do a further calculation,• Find the volume of rectangular solids,• Calculate multiple rates.

Exercise 2Applied Math Level 6 Example

One pump pumps 125 gpm into a mixing tank while another pumps 100 gpm out of the tank. The tank starts with 1,000 gallons. (gpm = gallons per minute)

Question 4

How many gallons are in the tank after 10 minutes?

25

A. 750

B. 1,000

C. 1,250

D. 3,250

Exercise 2Applied Math Level 6 Answer

• What is the problem asking? Amount in tank after 10 min.• First – compute the amount pumped in (Pump 1) and out

(Pump 2) over a 10 minute period. Pump 1 = 125 gpm; Pump 2 = 100 gpm.

Pump 1 pumps in 1250 gallons (10 min x 125 gallons)

Pump 2 pumps out 1,000 gallons (10 min x 100 gallons)• Next – subtract outflow from inflow (1,250 – 1,000 = 250 gal)• Then – add difference to original amount in tank (250 +

1,000 = 1,250 gallons. C is the correct answer.

26

This is a Level 6 Applied Math skill because you had to calculate multiple rates.

Exercise 2Applied Mathematics Level 5

You must solve math problems similar to the Level 5 example to qualify for a Gold National Career Readiness Certificate and Level 6 to qualify for a PlatinumPlatinum Certificate.

For a Platinum NCRCPlatinum NCRC, you must score Level 6 or above on all three WorkKeys tests – Reading for Information and Locating Information as well as Applied Mathematics.

27

Exercise 2The Locating Information Skill

Locating Information: the skill used in working with information found in workplace graphics (charts, diagrams, forms, tables, floor plans, maps and instrument gauges).

Lower skill levels: find information or fill in missing information in a graphic, such as completing a simple form.

Higher skill levels: use multiple graphics, unusual graphics or detailed graphics to determine trends and make comparisons or decisions.

The skill level is determined by two factors:

28

• The complexity of the graphics, and• The tasks employees must use graphics for.

Exercise 2Locating Information Level 3

Level 3 is the lowest skill level measured.

Level 6 is the highest level measured.

Level 3 questions: based on simple, straightforward workplace graphics such as simple forms, charts, tables, gauges, maps and floor plans.

People with Level 3 skills can:

29

• Find one or two pieces of information in a graphic• Fill in one or two pieces of missing information in a

graphic, such as a simple form.

Exercise 2Locating Information Level 3 Example

Carol is a chemical operator. Part of her job is to monitor a variety of gauges to ensure operating conditions are within specification. She must be able to read gauges like the one shown.

Read the problem and use the graphic to select the best answer to the question.

Question 5

What is the Humidity shown on the gauge?

30

A. 34

B. 37

C. 38

D. 40

Exercise 2Locating Information Level 3 Answer

What is the scale of measurement?

The bold, numbered marks represent the humidity by increments of 10, such as 0 to 10.

How much do the smaller marks represent?

Smaller marks = increments of 2.

Needle is pointing to the 4th mark above 30.

The humidity is 38, Answer C.

This is a Level 3 problem because one simple, straightforward graphic was used to find one piece of information.

31


Questions at Level 4 also involve straightforward graphics, but the tasks employees must perform are more complex.

In addition to the skills at Level 3, people with Level 4 skills can:

32

• Find several pieces of information in graphics• Summarize and/or compare information and trends in

one graphic• Summarize and/or compare information and trends in

more than one graphic by determining the relationship between the graphics.


Lynn is an economic development specialist with the Chamber of Commerce. She is reviewing information about hourly wages paid by two local companies. Wage information is summarized in a line graph.

Question 6

Based on this line graph, which

company had the most growth

in wages since 2002?

33

A. The ABC company

B. The XYZ company

C. They are both about the same

D. Cannot tell from this graph


Question: which company had the most wage growth since 2002.

Compare wages paid by both companies over time - trend analysis. Look at 2004.

2004: ABC dropped to $6.50, XYZ increased to $8.50 per hour.

2005: ABC reduced wages to $6.00,

XYZ raised wages to just below $9.00

per hour.

The company with the greatest wage

growth since 2002 is XYZ, answer B.

This is a Level 4 problem since you had to compare trends for two companies in a straightforward line graph.

34


At Level 5, Locating Information tasks and graphics become more complicated. Graphics are more detailed and contain more information. Some graphics may be in an unusual or challenging format.

In addition to the skills for Levels 3 and 4, persons with Level 5 skills can:

35

• Summarize and/or compare information and trends in a single complex graphic.

• Sort through distracting information to summarize and/or compare information and trends in more than one workplace graphic.


Eduardo is a production planner at a company that manufactures ignition assemblies for several boat manufacturers. He is reviewing the production outcomes for three manufacturing lines compared to planned goals.

Use the line graph to select the best answer to the question.

Question 7

Based on the information shown in

the line graph, which manufacturing line

or lines met the production goal in April?

36

A. Line 1

B. Line 2

C. Line 3

D. Lines 1 and 2

E. Lines 2 and 3


Question: Which line or lines met the production goal in April?

37

Find the line on the graph for the Goal (the black line).

Compare each of the three lines to the Goal.

Find April on the graph – the Goal for April was about 3,150 assemblies.

Which lines are equal to or greater than the Goal line?

Line 1 is the same as the Goal – Line 1 met the Goal.Line 2 is greater than the Goal – Line 2 met the Goal.Line 3 is lower than the Goal – Line 3 did not meet the Goal.

The correct answer is D – Lines 1 and 2.

This is a Level 5 problem because you must summarize and compare information and trends in a complex line graph.


At Level 6, Locating Information tasks and graphics are very complicated. Graphics are very detailed and contain large amounts of information. Graphics may be in an unusual or challenging format.

In addition to the skills for Levels 4 and 5, persons with Level 6 skills can:

38

• Draw conclusions based on one complicated graphic or several related graphics

• Apply information from one or more complicated graphics to specific situations

• Use information to make decisions.


39

Uptime, Yield, Quality Incidents, Safety Incidents and Environmental Incidents are used to determine bonuses for teams in various departments. The metrics and the teams’ actual performance are shown in these two tables.


40

Question 8Based on the information in these tables, what Quarterly Payout will the Packaging team receive?

A. 15%B. 10%C. 5%D. No bonus


41

First – find how many metric Packaging met.

Next – use the Quarterly Payout table to determine the bonus for Packaging.

Packaging met only 2 of the metrics, therefore they get no bonus. D is the correct answer.


This is a Level 6 example because you had to summarize information in one complicated graphic and use another related graphic to draw a conclusion and make a decision on what bonus the Packaging team would receive.

42

Exercise 2The Locating Information Skill

You must solve Locating Information problems similar to the Level 66 example to qualify for a PlatinumPlatinum National Career Readiness Certificate.

ACT test statistics: people have more trouble reaching Level 5 and 6 in Locating Information than in the other two skills.

For a Gold NCRC: Level 5 or Level 66 for a Platinum NCRCPlatinum NCRC on all three WorkKeys tests – Locating Information as well as Applied Mathematics and Reading for Information.

43

Exercise 2The Reading for Information Skill

Reading for Information: the 3rd skill the NCRC is based on.

Reading for Information

The skill used in reading materials to:

44

• Gather information• Follow procedures and policies• Make decisions and perform other job tasks.• Documents may be memos, letters, reports, instructions,

notices, policies and regulations.

Exercise 2Reading for Information Level 3

Questions at Level 3: skill in reading short, uncomplicated work documents that use common vocabulary and simple, straightforward sentences. The reading materials are clearly written and all of the information needed to answer a question is easy to find.


45

• Identify the main points, simple details• Understand when to perform a step in a series of directions• Identify meaning of words that are defined• Apply instructions to situations that are the same as described

in the document.

Exercise 2Reading for Information Level 3 Example

Read the safety policy and select the best answer to the question.

How to Lift Safely

All warehouse employees must wear back support belts before lifting boxes. First, make sure that you can lift the load. Next, check your path to see if it is clear. Then position your feet close to the box. Bend at your knees and keep your back straight. Center your body over the box and lift straight up using your legs, not your back. Keep your back straight after lifting the box. Be careful not to twist after lifting. Finally, move the box and set it down slowly with your back straight and knees bent. Do not let the box go until it is on the floor.

46

Question 9What should you do after centering your body over the box? Select the best answer. A.With your back straight, lift up in a smooth motion with your legs.B.Position your feet close to the box.C.Move the box and set it down smoothly keeping back straight and legs bent.D.Make sure you don’t twist your back.

Exercise 2Reading for Information Level 3 Answer

Question: What step should you take after centering your body over the box?

Find the sentence that discusses centering your body over the box.

What instruction immediately follows these words? –

“lift straight up using your legs, not your back.”

Answer A is correct.

This is a Level 3 Reading for Information example because you must read a short, simple instruction that is clearly written and recognize the correct placement of a step in a sequence of steps.

47


Level 4 Questions:

48

• Identify less obvious important details• Apply more complex instructions with several steps• Take changing circumstances into account (e.g. “If you receive an error

message when logging in, re-enter your username and password”)• Figure out word meanings not defined.

Persons with Level 4 skills can:

• Materials slightly more complex than Level 3• More details• Procedures have more steps• Take changing circumstances into account• Vocabulary a little more difficult than Level 3 documents• Words may not be defined.


The City of Riverdell sponsors a comprehensive retirement system for employees of city government. All city employees may be enrolled in the retirement system. Part-time and contract workers are not eligible to participate in the city retirement system. New employees must complete a ninety day probationary period successfully before qualifying for entry into the retirement system. Employees who accumulate 7 years of continuous employment will be vested in the retirement system on the anniversary date of their employment. Vested employees may elect to draw their retirement after 25 years of employment or upon reaching the age of 62.

49

Question 10What is the meaning of the word vested in this passage? A. Awarded time offB. Ineligible for retirementC.Eligible for a salary increaseD.Awarded retirement rights

Read the passage and select the best answer to the question.


Question: What does vested mean?

50

• Read the sentences in which the term is used.

• Subject: the retirement system of the City of Riverdell.

• Vested used in two sentences:

– First states employees with 7 years of continuous employment will be vested in retirement system;

– Second gives details on when vested employees can begin to receive retirement payments.

Therefore, a vested employee must be one who has earned retirement rights based on the length of their employment.

Answer D is the correct answer.

This is a Level 4 Reading for Information example because you had to determine the meaning of a word that was not defined in the document.


Level 5:

51

• Materials more complicated with more details than Level 4

• Include job-related jargon or technical terms that are defined

• May use words that have multiple meanings

• Questions involve applying information to situation not specifically described

• Must consider all information given to choose the correct response to a question.


• Identify paraphrased definition of technical term or jargon

• Apply technical terms and jargon to situations

• Recognize meaning of acronyms

• Find correct meaning of words with multiple meanings

• Apply instructions to new situations

• Apply complex instructions with multiple steps that include if-then statements.


Pulp

The pulp of the tooth evolves from cells similar to the dentin. Its function is to provide nourishment, support and maintenance for the dentin. Also, when the dentin or pulp is injured, sensory nerves send the messages to the brain for interpretation. The pulp identifies the temperature and chemical changes, vibrations and bacterial invasion of the tooth and transmits this information to the brain. It is a warning system that works as a defense system for the tooth.

If the pulp is damaged due to an injury, the tissue may become inflamed, causing pulpitis. The pressure becomes great and cannot escape. The structures of the tooth form a hard encasement and, when the tooth becomes inflamed, cause a great deal of pressure and discomfort. The patient may need to have root canal therapy, which opens the pulp and releases the pressure.

52

Question 11What is the main role of tooth pulp? A.To prevent the root from excess pressure buildupB.To transmit information on temperature and chemical changesC.To nourish, support and maintain the dentinD.To protect the tooth against inflammation


• Find description of role of tooth pulp – its function. • Look for key words.

53

First paragraph states the pulp’s “function is to provide nourishment, support and maintenance for the dentin.”

Answer C, Nourish, support and maintain the dentin, is the best answer to the question.

Answer B (Transmit info on temperature/chemical changes) - true but not best answer. Not tooth pulp’s overall role or function.

Answers A and D are incorrect.

A Level 5 problem: you must summarize information in a passage that contains technical terms such as dentin, pulp, pulpitis and root canal. Vocabulary more difficult than Level 4 (encasement and bacterial).


Level 6:

54

• Materials include elaborate procedures, complicated information, legal regulations

• Sentences are complicated with difficult vocabulary, jargon and technical terms

• Most information needed to answer the questions is not clearly stated.


• Identify implied details

• Use technical terms and jargon in new situations

• Recognize meaning of acronyms

• Find the less common meaning of a word based on context

• Apply general principles to similar and new situations

• Figure out the principles and explain the rationale behind a procedure, policy, rule or communication.


Material Safety Data - Sodium Carbonate

First Aid MeasuresEYES: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes,

lifting the upper and lower lids occasionally. See a medical doctor immediately.

SKIN: Wash with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical attention.

INHALATION: Remove from exposure, if discomfort occurs and persists, obtain medical attention.

INGESTION: Rinse mouth with water. Dilute by giving 1 to 2 glasses of water by mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. See a medical doctor immediately.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN — While internal toxicity is low, irritant effects of high concentrations may produce corneal opacities and vesicular reactions in humans with abraded skin only. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.

55

Question 12What should you do if sodium carbonate gets into your face and eyes? A.Open your eyes and flush entire face with water.B.Rinse your face off without opening your eyes.C.Wipe your eyes off before rinsing them with a flushing agent.D.Rinse your face off quickly, then open your eyes and flush.


56

In the MSDS first aid measures, the instructions do not directly state whether you should open or shut your eyes before rinsing.

However, if you have sodium carbonate on your face around your eyes, it makes sense to rinse it off first with your eyes closed. Otherwise, you could rinse additional chemical into your eyes. Ouch!

Once the chemical is off your face, you can then open your eyes and flush the chemical from your eyes. D is the best answer.

Exercise 2The Reading for Information Skill
