Testing Format
- Candidates sit for the tests at an approved test site. The OneWorkSource Centers in Elizabethtown, Malone, and Plattsburgh are all approved test sites.
- All testing is done via computer.
Math and Reading are in a multiple choice format.
- Situational Judgment is in a multiple choice format with candidates choosing two answers for each question: the best and the worst response to a typical workplace issue.
Active Listening requires candidates to listen to a question then provide an oral response into a microphone.
- Candidates must register for all four sections of the test the first time, but do not need to take all four parts at once.
Candidates have thirty days to complete all four sections of the test.
- In order to receive the National Work Readiness Credential candidates must pass all four sections of the test within one year of taking the first test. If a candidate does not pass one section of the test, he or she only needs to retake the failed section, not all four sections. A candidate must wait 25 days from the initial test date to retest.
