Key takeaways

Questions match the job: multiple choice, true or false, calculations, written answers or coding tasks.
You see the rules, the number of questions and the time limit before you start.
Written answers are scored against a marking guide and checked by the employer's team.
Stay in the test window; leaving it is recorded.

The format

Each employer builds its own assessment for the job. A software role may include coding tasks with real test cases; a site engineer may get calculations and safety scenarios; a sales role may get written answers about real situations.

How answers are scored
