CarePro comes with a powerful computer based testing
feature. This feature was designed to make it easy for you to screen
your candidates by having them take secure online examinations. Please
note that only candidates can take tests and not employers.
To create a test, click on the 'Tests'-'Create Test' link
The test creation page will open as below:
The fields on this page are explained below:
- Name: This is the name of the Test that will be visible to the candidate.
- 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 candidate before they start the test.
- Status: This controls if candidates can take the test or not. If disabled, the test will not appear on the frontend and candidates will not be able to take it.
- Minutes Allowed: Specify how many minutes are allowed for the test. Leave blank if you do not want to restrict timing for the test.
- Passmark (%): Set the minimum score a candidate must have in order to pass this test. This score must be in percentage format as all tests are graded this way.
- Allow Multiple Attempts: Use this to indicate whether or not you want candidates to only be able to take this test multiple time. If set to 'No' then a candidate will only be able to have one attempt for the test. If you wish for a specific candidate to be able to retake a test, you will need to delete their test attempt (covered later).
- Show result after test: This determines if candidates can view test results and their grade after they have completed their test. If set to 'Yes' then candidates will be informed if they scored above the passmark or not. This however will not show candidates what questions they failed or passed.
