What to Expect
Skills tests let employers figure out what you already know and allow you to prove you have the necessary skills to succeed in the role. The Workplace Skills Assessment is an assessment that evaluates basic math and verbal skills. This assessment will ask you to answer a varied series of questions pertaining to basic grammar, spelling, math and language skills.
How to Prepare
The skills test is designed to identify your basic math and verbal skills. These questions will vary, meaning there is no standard set of items to study. The best thing you can do to prepare is to ensure you’re in a comfortable, distraction-free environment, and that you have read all the instructions carefully.
