Candidate report and score
Score
For the score, we compare your candidate to all candidates who have taken a similar test on the platform (across all organizations). For each question in your test, we compute the success rate of the question based on this historical data.
Based on all question success rates, we derive a statistical simulation of 1000 candidates with their point score. Then we just position your candidate in this leaderboard of 1000 simulated candidates (based on their point score).
ℹ️ If it’s a new question with little comparative data, the score will be based on question difficulty.
To view the score, go to the test’s Candidates list.
To see the finer details about a score, click on the candidate’s name; you’ll see a pop-up similar to the image below. The highlighted graph in the top left represents the candidate’s level. Here, the candidate is better than 96% of developers tested on the same or similar questions on Screen.
Click on the information circle to see information about the rating.
The panel on the right reflects time spent on the test in relation to the total time allocated, as well as the candidate’s score in relation to the questions asked.
Underneath, each domain your candidate has been evaluated on has a dedicated comparative score.
Displaying point score and comparative score
The normal default for the candidate’s score is their comparative score — how well they’ve done against candidates taking a similar test.
However, if you’d rather display the raw score results simply navigate to the Test settings for your team (1). Under the Admin tab, select Point score (2).
Here’s a before-and-after video of how it works:
Assessment criteria
Candidates are also awarded a score per assessment criteria.
When you hover over the criteria, you will be able to see more information on that specific criteria:
Design
Language knowledge
Problem solving
Reliability
Each of your test’s questions influences one or more of these criteria.
