Understanding Your WorkKeys® Scores
What the Scores Mean
Your score is determined by the number of questions you answered correctly. There is no penalty for guessing. The skill level descriptions describe the skills that you have achieved and can apply on the job or in training.
Check out the WorkKeys skill level descriptions on your score report, or read one of the skill level descriptions for the three most common WorkKeys tests listed below:
See WorkKeys Assessments for skill level descriptions of other WorkKeys tests.

What's on the WorkKeys Score Report
The WorkKeys score report gives a level score and scale score.
Level Scores:
Employers use level scores to decide who to hire and promote. Level scores are based on WorkKeys job profiles—a snapshot of the skills needed for a particular job.
You can use your level score to compare to WorkKeys scores required for different careers.
Scale Scores:
Scale scores are used by educators to show growth in skills over time. Scale scores are not used for hiring or promotion decisions.
