ABOUT THE TEST

This test is designed to screen applicants of approximately three to five years experience in accounting. The test focuses on skills used by an accountant in the work environment and less on the general ledger equivalent of each entry like in an academic test.

RELEVANT ROLES

This advanced accounting test is appropriate for prospective members of a organization’s finance team as well as candidates for a position at an accounting firm.

Candidate Experience

Having a great candidate experience is critical to getting high completion rates (the number of people who finish the test after starting it), and today’s modern candidates want a test experience that is fast and can be taken on their mobile device.

This skills test is deliberately kept short and has been optimized for mobile consumption, which reduces drop-off and minimizes test anxiety.

What are Pre-Employment Skills Tests?

Skills tests are a critical part of any pre-employment and development assessment, providing an unbiased measurement of a participant’s ability to perform or understand a duty or technology that is an expected part of their everyday job.

Skill tests can take the form of a variety of questions surrounding tasks a person would perform in office situations, and can be answered easily by someone who has already done the job previously. Some are more immersive and require the participant to actively complete tasks inside a software program to imitate their performance capabilities in a real-life workplace.
