What your candidates see

The invitation page

The link opens a page with the assessment's title and description, your company's name and line, the time, the number of problems, the pass mark and how long the link is valid. What you will be asked shows the sections and how many problems each has — the problems themselves stay hidden until the clock starts — and The conditions follow.

Opening the link needs no account; starting does. A candidate who is signed out is offered Create an account or I already have one, and the invitation waits for them. The account does not have to use the address you invited.

The rule they agree to

Every sitting is sat under one rule: Sit it alone. Documentation is allowed; AI assistants and help from anyone else are not. Your own rules follow it. Start the assessment works only once they tick: I will sit this alone, with no AI assistant and no help from anyone. Documentation is allowed.

Before they start they are also told that a record is kept of how each answer is made — never what was typed — and that you see what it notes. See How an answer was made: the sitting record.

The sitting

• The clock starts at Start the assessment and never pauses, through reloads too.
• Each problem opens in the same workspace learners practise in, with the hints, the solution, the discussion and the mentor locked.
• They can submit as often as they like. Each submission says only that it was recorded; the best on each problem is the one that counts.
• Every dataset they need is provided in the problem.

Handing in

Submit assessment asks them to confirm and warns about any problem with no answer, which scores zero. At zero the assessment submits itself while its page is open; if they have left, it is closed and scored the next time they open it, and nothing sent after the deadline counts.

They then see Passed or Not passed, their score out of 100 and a Skill report by section and problem.
