Canada GCT2: General Competency Test: Level 2 Abridged (GCT-2A-324)

The General Competency Test: Level 2 (GCT-2) is a Public Service Commission of Canada test that assesses reasoning skills at the level required for officer-level positions. The current version is the General Competency Test: Level 2 Abridged (GCT-2A-324), which replaced the 90-item GCT-2-314. It has 50 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes, of three types: number and letter series, numerical problems and analytical reasoning. It is supervised and taken in person at a federal government building on the Candidate Assessment Tool (a paper version only in exceptional circumstances), and it is bilingual: candidates may take it in the official language of their choice. A pass, 31 out of 50, can be used to meet the university education requirement in some selection processes; a score of 58 or above on the previous 90-item version is still valid for that purpose. There is a 180-day waiting period before the test can be retaken.
