Workplace Observation Test Format and Scoring
The Workplace Observation test is administered by computer. The appropriate directions, a tutorial, and help screens guide the examinees as they take the exam. When the test is initiated by the examinee, the first scenario is presented once, then the items associated with that scenario are presented one at a time to the examinee, who can respond and proceed at his/her own pace. Scenarios can only be viewed once, and once an item has been answered, the examinee is unable to return to that item. The response is entered by clicking a check box next to the desired answer and clicking a button to proceed. At the end of the testing session, the test is scored immediately and results are made available to the administrator online.
