For Healthcare
WorkKeys for Healthcare includes contextualized WorkKeys assessments with questions using language specific to the healthcare industry.
Assessments Available in Healthcare Versions
The tests still measure the same foundational skills as the standard version, and give no advantage to persons in the medical profession. These tests are currently available online or in paper-and-pencil format.
Sample WorkKeys for Healthcare Math Item

Answer
Divide the number of correctly typed words by the number of minutes in the typing test.
- 320 ÷ 60 = 5.33, rounded down to 5 (divided the number of correctly typed words by the number of seconds in a minute or minutes in an hour instead of dividing by the number of minutes in the test)
- 320 ÷ 60 × 5 = 26.67, rounded up to 27 (divided the number of correctly typed words by the number of seconds in a minute or minutes in an hour and then multiplied by the number of minutes in the test instead of dividing)
- 320 ÷ 5 = 64
Correct
- 320 + 5 = 325 (added the number of minutes in the test to the number of correctly typed words instead of dividing)
- 320 × 5 = 1,600 (multiplied the number of correctly typed words by the number of minutes in the test instead of dividing)
