Paper test in boot camp ?

Okay sorry if this sounds ******* retarded but a while back i was watching a marine boot camp video and the narrator said every recruit must take two tests in order to progress into the real boot camp ****. Is thiis true? Iv bin looking for god damn months and it ****** pisses me off. I asked my brother whos in the army if he had some sort of tests in basic training and he said only blood work or whatever and a test to see if he knows what ranks are what. But he doesnt remember the name. Any marines know what im talkn about? Im trying to prepare myself for everything andd im not about to get stopped by some stupid **** like a paper test.
