Even the most intelligent college grads can wind up spending too much time on the front half of the Wonderlic, so if you add any reading disablilities, you're pretty much [censored]ed.
The key, so I've heard, to the 25+ Wonderlic score is to completely skip the essays, go straight to the back and tear through the 25 math problems, then go back and knock out 4 or 5 of the longer questions with whatever time you have left.

If you know "the key to success" on the wonderlic, don't you think any athlete taking the test would know as well? particularly if they have an agent or somebody who is coaching them through the combine/wonderlic/interviews etc...
