Frequently Asked Questions
What skills does the computer literacy test cover?
The test covers four areas: operating system basics (file management, system settings), web browser use (navigation, downloads, security settings), email and calendar fundamentals, and common office software tasks (spreadsheets, documents, presentations). Questions are scenario-based — you choose the most appropriate action in a realistic work context.
How is my proficiency level determined?
Your answers are scored across all four areas and combined into an overall percentage. That score places you into one of four tiers — basic, intermediate, proficient, or advanced. The tier reflects how your skills compare to typical professional benchmarks for office and administrative roles.
How long does the test take?
About 6 minutes for most people. There are 30 scenario-based questions and no time limit per question, so you can read each one carefully. Results appear immediately when you finish.
Is this test relevant for hiring?
Yes — the test is widely used as a pre-hire screening tool for administrative, support, and office-based roles where computer proficiency is a baseline requirement. Hiring teams typically use the proficiency tier rather than the raw score when comparing candidates.
Can I retake the test?
Yes — you can retake it at any time. If you're signed in, your most recent result is saved to your profile so you can track improvement over time.
