How to take one

Taking a skill assessment is straightforward. Here’s how to do it:

1. Select the skill or skills you want to assess from the available options.
2. Prepare to answer recorded questions that will be posed to you during the assessment.
3. Keep an eye on the time limits for responses; typically, you’ll have a few minutes for each question.

Tip: Practice speaking and answering questions clearly to make a strong impression during the recordings.

Common Gotcha: Technical glitches can happen. Make sure your device is working well before starting the assessment to avoid time wastage.

Proctoring & requirements

To maintain integrity during assessments, the following proctoring requirements must be met:

• Internet Speed Check: Ensure you have a stable and fast internet connection to prevent disruptions.
• Fullscreen Mode: The assessment must be taken in fullscreen mode to eliminate distractions.
• Screen Share: You may need to allow screen sharing to verify that no unauthorized materials are used.
• Tab-Switch Rules: Switching tabs during the assessment will lead to an automatic disqualification.

Tip: Test your internet speed and browser settings a day before your assessment to ensure a smooth experience.

Common Gotcha: Forgetting to check permissions for screen sharing can cause delays; make sure this is set up ahead of time.

Cooldown & retakes

Understanding the retake policy is crucial:

• Retake Cooldown: After taking an assessment, you must wait for a cooldown period before attempting again, typically 7 days.
• Free Retake: If your results indicate low confidence in your answers, you qualify for a free retake.

Tip: Use the cooldown period to study and improve on areas where you felt less confident.

Common Gotcha: Planning to retake? Remember that cooldown periods are strictly enforced, so set your retake date accordingly.
