Easy Configuring Load Balancing Load Balancing Web Hosting Server Configuration	Try practice test
A client has a high-traffic website that is currently hosted on a single server. To ensure high availability and to distribute the load across multiple servers, they have decided to implement a load balancing solution. The client has set up two additional servers identical to the original one, and all three servers are configured to serve the website. They have also set up a load balancer and updated their DNS records so that the website's domain now points to the load balancer. Now, the client approaches you to verify the configuration. While reviewing the setup, you discover that the client hasn't configured session persistence (also known as sticky sessions) on their load balancer. Which of the following are potential issues the client might face due to the lack of session persistence? A: Users may experience slower website load times. B: User sessions might be lost, causing them to be logged out unexpectedly. C: The load balancer may not distribute traffic evenly across the servers. D: The website may not be accessible if one of the servers goes down. E: Users may not be able to establish a secure connection to the website.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Call Center Supervisor Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

What experience level can I use this test for?

Each Adaface assessment is customized to your job description/ ideal candidate persona (our subject matter experts will pick the right questions for your assessment from our library of 10000+ questions). This assessment can be customized for any experience level.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.
