GForce comes with a powerful computer based testing feature. This feature was designed to make it easy for you to screen your members by having them take secure online examinations. Please note that only members can take tests and not employers.

To create a test, click on the ''Training'-'Tests' link. Then click on 'Add New'

The test creation page will open as below:

The fields on this page are explained below:

1. Name: This is the name of the Test that will be visible to the member.
2. Description/Instructions: This field enables you to detail what this test is about. You could add information like who the test is targeted at, the importance of the test, resources needed before attempting the test e.t.c. This information will be displayed to the member before they start the test.
   
3. Status: This controls if members can take the test or not. If disabled, the test will not appear on the frontend and members will not be able to take it.
4. Minutes Allowed: Specify how many minutes are allowed for the test. Leave blank if you do not want to restrict timing for the test.
5. Passmark (%): Set the minimum score a member must have in order to pass this test. This score must be in percentage format as all tests are graded this way.
6. Allow Multiple Attempts: Use this to indicate whether or not you want members to only be able to take this test multiple time. If set to 'No' then a member will only be able to have one attempt for the test. If you wish for a specific member to be able to retake a test, you will need to delete their test attempt (covered later).
7. Show result after test: This determines if members can view test results and their grade after they have completed their test. If set to 'Yes' then members will be informed if they scored above the passmark or not. This however will not show members what questions they failed or passed.
