Reason #2

No trick questions

no trick questions

Traditional assessment tools use trick questions and puzzles for the screening, which creates a lot of frustration among candidates about having to go through irrelevant screening assessments.

View sample questions

The main reason we started Adaface is that traditional pre-employment assessment platforms are not a fair way for companies to evaluate candidates. At Adaface, our mission is to help companies find great candidates by assessing on-the-job skills required for a role.

Why we started Adaface
Reason #3

Non-googleable questions

We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Oracle RAC 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.

    This skill pertains to the networking aspects of Oracle Clusterware, including the configuration and management of network interfaces, VIPs (Virtual IPs), and network listeners. It also covers the communication protocols and network configurations required for seamless cluster operation.

  • GPnP Domain Components

    This skill encompasses the various components of the GPnP (Grid Plug and Play) domain, which is responsible for discovering and registering cluster nodes and resources. It involves understanding the GPnP profile, the management of profiles, and the way GPnP facilitates the dynamic addition and removal of nodes from the cluster.

  • Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) and Grid Infrastructure

    This skill focuses on Oracle ASM and its integration with Oracle Grid Infrastructure. It involves understanding how ASM provides storage management for Oracle databases, including disk group creation, rebalancing, and performance tuning. The knowledge of ASM's relationship with other Grid Infrastructure components is also essential.

  • Profile in Oracle Clusterware

    This skill covers the concept of profiles in Oracle Clusterware, which allows customization of resource allocation and scheduling in a cluster. It involves understanding the different types of profiles and how they are used to manage resources, including the priority and placement of applications within the cluster.

  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure Architecture

    This skill pertains to the architecture of Oracle Grid Infrastructure, including the various components that make up the infrastructure stack. It involves understanding the relationships and dependencies between these components and how they work together to provide high availability, scalability, and manageability for Oracle RAC environments.

  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster

Oracle RAC Hiring Test FAQs

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

Do you have any anti-cheating or proctoring features in place?

We have the following anti-cheating features in place:

  • Non-googleable questions
  • IP proctoring
  • Screen proctoring
  • Web proctoring
  • Webcam proctoring
  • Plagiarism detection
  • Secure browser
  • Copy paste protection

Read more about the proctoring features.

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.

I'm a candidate. Can I try a practice test?

No. Unfortunately, we do not support practice tests at the moment. However, you can use our sample questions for practice.

What is the cost of using this test?

You can check out our pricing plans.

Can I get a free trial?

Yes, you can sign up for free and preview this test.
