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

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?
