sorry but you cant find the presently used one online. but I can tell you in general what to expect...
it is a basic what do you know kind of test. you know like the ones you took in elementary school and high school. ...
they just want to know things like if you know who the president today is, if you can do math and what your math, social studies/ history, english language skills are...
if you look back at your posts here you can pretty much know you have a good grasp of the english language, writing skills, sentence structure, some of your posts may already talk about current events, who's the president, what the date is, whether you know basic spelling, whether you know how to think about things in a logical and orderly way... how fast you are at playing games and figuring out games and pictures....whether you can speak verbally or not, memorize simple every day usage words...
in other words just like those tests in elementary, jr high and high school the test is just going to tell you and the person giving you the exam what your education and all are.
this test does not tell them whether you have a mental disorder or not.
much of what they have you doing they will already know what your skills are just from talking to you. I mean they know from how you answer their questions up to now whether you can verbally speak or not, use correct language structure, think logically..
my suggestion just take your time and be honest because they will already know what you can and cant do, how you talk, what vocabulary you regularly use what games you have told them you play whether you can work a computer and read and write and all that.
