Health Occupations Basic Entrance Test (HOBET)

Emphasis: The HOBET evaluates seven areas that are essential for academic success and includes the Individual Student Summary Reports along with a Composite Group Report.

The HOBET measures an individual's ability in mathematics and science reading comprehension. The HOBET also provides assessment of counseling areas to draw a total picture of the individual. Listed below are the areas identified: Essential Math Skills, Reading Comprehension for Science Textbooks, Reading Rate, Critical Thinking Appraisal, Test-taking Skills, Stress Levels, Social Interaction Profile, Learning Styles and Overall Composite Score.
