Data Conversion Aptitude Test 17A

Blue Bar

Use

The purpose of the Data Conversion Aptitude Test is to assess an individual's aptitude for data conversion tasks.

It can be used to assist managers in making selection decisions, identifying training and development needs, and counselling for career transitions.

Description

The Data Conversion Aptitude Test consists of two sub-tests with respectively 25 and 30 multiple-choice questions.

The test takes about 27 minutes to write, including time for administrative purposes.

The minimum pass mark is 23/55. Managers can use a higher cut-off score depending on the level of skill required by the position.

The Personnel Psychology Centre's 48-hour scoring service sends results to the test centre, which in turn informs the candidates of their scores.

Retest Period - There is a 180 days waiting period before you can rewrite the test. Should you wish to take this test again, you must wait until after the retest period indicated for this test has elapsed. Should you rewrite the test before the retest period has elapsed, your result will not be valid and a new retest period will be imposed from the new test date.
