Workplace Documents –Employees must be able to understand written text to do a job. This assessment measures skills that individuals use when they read real workplace documents and use that information to make job-related decisions and solve problems. The documents include messages, emails, letters, directions, signs, bulletins, policies, websites, contracts, and regulations.
Graphic Literacy –Workplace graphics come in a variety of formats, but all communicate a level of information. From charts to graphs, diagrams to floor plans, identifying what information is being presented and understanding how to use it are critical to success. This assessment measures skills that individuals use when they read and comprehend graphical materials such as tables, forms, flowcharts, maps, and instrument gauges to solve work-related problems.
Applied Math –Measures critical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and problem solving techniques from basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to multiple math functions like calculating percentage discounts and markups based on situations that actually occur in today’s workplace. While individuals may use calculators and conversion tables to help with the problems on the assessment, math skills are still needed to think them through.
Business Writing –Measures the skill used when writing an original response to a work-related situation. Components include sentence structure, mechanics, grammar, word usage, tone and word choice, organization and focus, and development of ideas.
