What to Do |
| |
|
| |
The following is a set of suggestions to use as you take employment tests. Read and consider each suggestion. |
| |
|
- Read and/or listen to directions carefully.
- Take the tests seriously.
- Try to relax while taking the test.
- Skim the entire test before you start to be sure you know what it is about.
- Read each question carefully and completely before you begin to answer it.
- Ask if there is a penalty for guessing answers you are not certain about. In general, if there is a penalty, do not guess unless you can narrow the answer to one of two possible choices.
- If the test is timed—and many are—ask how the test is being scored to know if accuracy or completion is more important.
- Write your answers clearly. You cannot get credit for anything that is not readable.
- Use your time wisely. Do not linger too long on any one question. If you do not know the answer, skip to the next item.

Don’t get screened out! Employers generally use applications to make the first cut in screening applicants. |
