NPOST Test

The N.P.O.S.T. consists of four timed sections: math, reading comprehension, grammar, and incident report writing. (OUT OF STATE CANDIDATES must take the N.P.O.S.T. at any of the test sites/online and turn in their scores, as well.)

The math component consists of 20 questions, which are to be completed in 20 minutes. This section does not have any scientific math questions (algebraic or geometry); the questions consist of general math and financial math equations.

The reading comprehension section consists of 25 questions, which are to be completed in 25 minutes. This section requires the candidate to read a series of short essays and then choose the best answer(s) based on the information contained in the short essays.

The grammar section consists of 20 questions, which are to be completed in 15 minutes. This section requires the candidate to read several sentences and paragraphs, all of which contain misspelled words and improper punctuation. The candidate is required to identify the misspelled words and improper punctuation.

The incident report writing section consists of 10 questions, which are to be completed in 15 minutes. The candidates are tested on their ability to write a clear and concise report based on facts they are given. Grammar and punctuation are tested in this section as well.

Since the N.P.O.S.T. is not administered all day, every day, all candidates are urged to call the testing center they will be taking the test at, in advance, to verify the dates and times the test will be administered.

The Utah N.P.O.S.T. may be taken at any of the testing sites listed below. A fee may be assessed and your government or state picture identification card (with your photo, birth date, and signature) will be required.
