3. Pro-rating: The applicant’s final rating is secured by pro 
rating the five tests as follows: test 8 counts 10%; 13c, 
25%; 15, 25%; 10, 20%. The pro-rating formula then is: 
.10 X r8 + .25 X ri3c + .25 X ris + .20 X rio + .20 X 
ri2 =R. The pro-rating formula in this case is based on 
estimates placed upon the importance of each of the tests 
in relation to the kind of clerical work to be done. Various 
combinations of clerical tests are made to suit the partic 
ular specifications of various kinds of jobs, and in each 
case, the pro-rating formula varies accordingly. When, for 
instance, alphabetical or topical filing clerks are desired, 
these tests are given more weight than any others. It is 
impracticable to go into all the details of these combina 
tions. The tests as units will however be given. 
4. Standards: The standard in use is to recommend those who 
obtain 70 or over, and to recommend for a trial, those 
between 60 and 70, especially when help is scarce.
