Even though our online testing system always saves you time and money, we realize that it's not feasible to use sometimes. That's why we offer a paper-based version of most of our online skills tests.

We have designed our paper-based recruitment and selection tools to enhance efficiency and accuracy. In addition, our support materials provide more information than you typically receive from other test publishers.

The materials described below simplify the process of administering and scoring our paper-based skills tests. Check out our product samples.

• If you do need paper-based tests, our tools make test administration and scoring a snap.

This guide provides the following information for making the entire employment process efficient and effective:

• Description of our skills tests and personality tests

We include our recommended test batteries in test booklets. When completing test batteries, individuals use an answer sheet corresponding to the assessments included in a battery. Since people mark their answers on an answer sheet, assessment booklets can be reused and scoring is more efficient.

All assessment booklets contain the following:

• General instructions for completing the answer sheet
• Clear directions for each employment test included in the booklet
• Assessments included in the recommended battery
• Directions indicating when to start and stop each assessment

When completing test batteries, individuals use an answer sheet corresponding to the assessments included in a battery. Instead of marking their answers on an assessment, individuals provide answers on an answer sheet, which:

• Helps to structure the employment test process
• Makes it easier for individuals to complete the pre-employment tests
• Simplifies and speeds up scoring

We have designed all of our paper-based employment tests to be scored quickly and easily by hand. Scoring templates, which are printed on clear acetate sheets, are placed over completed assessments (i.e., if they are administered individually) or answer sheets (i.e., if assessments are administered in an assessment booklet) to reveal the correct answers.

Scoring templates simplify scoring and minimize scoring errors. All assessments in our recommended employment test batteries usually can be scored within three minutes.

This form helps you keep complete and accurate records regarding people's performance on employment tests. You can use this form to convert raw scores to percentiles, which makes it easier for you to interpret assessment results. In addition, the graphic test profile allows you to see-at-a-glance an individual's strengths and development needs.

An Assessment Results Profile contains the following:

• A step-by-step procedure for developing an assessment profile
• Space for documenting pertinent information regarding the assessment session, person being assessed, and hiring decision
• Space for indicating assessment standards and raw scores
• A graph that converts raw scores to percentiles
