HighMatch Analytics: Assessment Completion Time

This article covers the Assessment Completion Time section in the Analytics tabs in the HighMatch app. 

You can see how long candidates typically take to finish an assessment. Visuals like histograms and box plots help you spot typical completion ranges, compare times across devices, and identify unusually fast or slow patterns that may affect completion rates and the candidate experience.

This section is one of six metric sections in the Analytics tab.

Metric Summary & Data Points

This metric visualizes how long candidates take to complete a specific assessment. It provides insights into the assessment’s time commitment and helps evaluate its potential impact on completion rates.

Definitions of the data points presented in this metric include:

• Histogram: Shows distribution of time-to-complete across all time completion ranges.
• Box Plots: Displays the following time patterns for the categories: All Devices, Mobile, Desktop, and Tablet.
  • Typical Faster Time: The time range in which faster participants typically finish. This represents the 25th percentile (Q1) — the point where 25% of participants will finish faster than.
  • Median Time: The time where half of the participants finished faster than.
  • Average Time: The average time taken by all participants. While useful, it can be affected by extreme cases.
  • Typical Slower Time: The time range in which slower participants typically finish. This marks the 75th percentile (Q3) — the point where 75% of participants will finish faster than.

The completion time histogram shows how many participants finished the assessment within various time ranges to see where most candidates cluster and to highlight any unusually fast or slow completion times.

The box plot breaks this down by device type, making it easy to compare slow, medium, and fast timing average patterns across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Summary cards will also be available showing the percentages along with small bar charts for comparison across devices.
