🧐 Question
Medium Content Query Web Part Customization	Try practice test
You are working as a SharePoint Consultant and have been tasked to create a custom view for the Content Query Web Part (CQWP) on a client's SharePoint site. The client would like to display news articles, grouped by the month they were published in. The title, publish date, and author of each article should be displayed, along with the total number of articles for that month. The following is a part of the XSLT code you are working with: Which modification should you make to the XSLT code to achieve the desired output? A. Replace <xsl:param name="Month" /> with <xsl:param name="PublishDate" /> B. Add <xsl:value-of select="$RowCount" /> after the closing </h2> tag C. Replace select="count($Rows[@Month = $Month])" with select="count($Rows[@PublishDate = $Month])" D. Add <xsl:value-of select="substring(@Author, 0, 3)" /> after the closing </h2> tag E. Add <xsl:value-of select="@Title" /> inside the <div class="monthGroupContent"> tag
Medium Design Workflow Workflows REST	Try practice test
A SharePoint Consultant is designing a workflow for a document library using SharePoint Designer. The workflow needs to use an impersonation step to create a list item in a different site collection when a document is uploaded. The SharePoint Designer must use the REST API to accomplish this task. Consider the following code snippet for the REST API call in the impersonation step: Which of the following actions should the consultant add to the impersonation step and configure the appropriate properties? A: Add a 'Call HTTP Web Service' action, set the HTTP method to POST, set the REST endpoint URL, configure the request headers, and set the request body with the JSON payload B: Add a 'Create List Item' action, set the target list URL, and set the item properties using the JSON payload C: Add a 'Call HTTP Web Service' action, set the HTTP method to POST, set the REST endpoint URL, configure the request headers, and set the request body without the JSON payload D: Add a 'Copy Document' action, set the target list URL, and set the item properties using the JSON payload

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment SharePoint 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.

Public link: You can create a public link for each test that you can share with candidates.

Sharepoint 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.
