Clerical Work Sample Aptitude Test

Pre-Employment Test

Purpose: Our popular Clerical Work Sample Test is a pre-employment typing test that requires the candidate to search for specific information from a page of complex set of data, then type in the information in an accurate manner onto a template on the computer. This test should be used to evaluate if candidates are capable of quickly searching for information, then remembering it long enough to type it in a new location. We recommend using this test for positions such as bookkeeper, administrative assistant, inventory control personnel, shipping & receiving clerk, accounting personnel and finance clerk.

About This Test: This is a 5-minute timed Clerical Work Sample test.

High Scorers: Candidates scoring high on the test are quick to complete administrative tasks and do not make many errors. This test predicts who can type in information quickly into a computer.

Low Scorers: Candidates scoring low on the test are somewhat slow in completing their work and they tend to make more errors than expected. Low scorers may not be very familiar with using computer keyboards.

What the Report Gives You: Aptitude scores and interpretation guidance.

Testing Process:

• Immediate score report upon completion.
