ABOUT THE TEST

The questions on this test range in difficulty from basic, which a candidate with as little as one year’s experience should be able to answer, to questions which are more challenging and will probably only be answered correctly by those candidates with more experience or those who are seeking professional qualifications in accounting. The balance between basic, intermediate and advanced level questions provides an adequate reflection of a person’s knowledge base.

RELEVANT ROLES

This General Ledger Knowledge Test is appropriate for prospective members of a Finance team or, in smaller organizations, the office staff member responsible for the AP function.

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 test has been kept short and has been optimized for mobile, 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.
