Our coverage maps directly to the modern POST battery test names used in California: Test 7 — Recalling Information (Pattern A audio, no notes), Test 8 — Call-Taking (Pattern B, multi-clip with notes), Test 9 — Following Oral Directions (Pattern A with notes), Test 10 — Checking Coded Information (Pattern C1), and Test 11 — Checking and Listening (Pattern C2, dual-task).
