About the Computer literacy (PC) test

Computer literacy, including the ability to use computers and maintain a basic understanding of how they operate, is an important ability in the modern workplace environment. Employees who have computer literacy have the ability to use computers and related technology efficiently, and are comfortable using computers and applications to perform workplace functions.

This Computer literacy (PC) test allows you to identify candidates who possess a basic ability to use computers for a variety of workplace tasks, and to use them safely and efficiently in real-life, workplace contexts. To answer the questions in the test successfully, candidates must understand the basics of computer operations, Internet navigation, e-mail, and file & folder handling using a Windows (PC) operating system.

The test requires candidates to identify the right answers to the questions in a limited amount of time. Successful candidates can understand and interpret basic computer menus and settings options quickly and accurately, access and navigate the Internet safely and efficiently, use email effectively, manage their disk space, and select the appropriate applications to use for a variety of basic workplace tasks. Candidates are not only evaluated on fundamental concepts, but are also tested on common features and safe usage practices. This is a great test to include in evaluating candidates' basic technical skills and computer use.

FAQs

What is the difference between an assessment and a test?
An assessment is the total package of tests and custom questions that you put together to evaluate your candidates. Each individual test within an assessment is designed to test something specific, such as a job skill or language. An assessment can consist of up to 5 tests and 20 custom questions. You can have candidates respond to your custom questions in several ways, such as with a personalized video.
Can I add my own questions to an assessment?
Yes! Custom questions are great for testing candidates in your own unique way. We support the following question types: video, multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Besides adding your own custom questions, you can also create your own tests.
How do video questions work?
A video question is a specific type of custom question you can add to your assessment. Video questions let you create a question and have your candidates use their webcam to record a video response. This is an excellent way to see how a candidate would conduct themselves in a live interview, and is especially useful for sales and hospitality roles. Some good examples of things to ask for video questions would be "Why do you want to work for our company?" or "Try to sell me an item you have on your desk right now." You can learn more about video questions here.
Can you explain how the other custom question types work?
Besides video questions, you can also add the following types of custom questions: multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Multiple-choice lets your candidates choose from a list of answers that you provide, coding lets you create a coding problem for them to solve, file upload allows your candidates to upload a file that you request (such as a resume or portfolio), and essay allows an open-ended text response to your question. You can learn more about different custom question types here.
Can I customize an assessment with my company logo and color theme?
Yes! You can add your own logo and company color theme to your assessments. This is a great way to leave a positive and lasting brand impression on your candidates.
