The test contains questions on basic, intermediate and advanced skill levels, which are all randomised. The resulting reports then break down the candidate's scores at individual levels and as a whole.
Results can be viewed individually or in a group report comparing test score rankings and percentages.
The results are compared to the global average and each individual is graded with a percentile ranking. The results also detail the time taken to complete the test, the number of questions answered and the amount answered correctly.
Each test result also details a report on what the test was designed for and the subjects contained within the test.
Our staff are always available if you need advice or guidance on the results and how to use them effectively.
To ensure fairness and as a benchmarking exercise for your recruitment process, we can also include your own staff in the testing. The skills tests are available in a variety of languages including Spanish, French and Italian.
Whilst the tests are taken online, our test provider offers free live phone support to all candidates.
The skills tests cover virtually every imaginable area, though our most popular tests are detailed below.
