In addition to the core assessments above, also offered is what is called the “NCRC Plus.” This certification ranks individuals in work discipline, teamwork, customer service orientation, and managerial potential. If test takers are taking the paper-and-pencil version of each assessment, only 45 minutes are given to complete each assessment. Examples of types of text include memos, directions, notices, regulations, and other documents regularly used on a job site. The reading for information section includes 33 items and individuals again have 55 minutes to complete it. These questions measure the skills people use when they read text required for them to successfully complete their jobs. The locating information section includes 38 items and individuals again have 55 minutes to complete the section. These questions measure the skills people use when they work with graphics, such as by being asked to find information in a graphic or to compare or summarize information displayed in multiple graphics. This section can be taken with a calculator, and test takers will also be given a formula sheet with formulas required to correctly answer some of the questions (for example, showing that 1 square foot equals 144 square inches). The applied mathematics section includes 33 items and individuals have 55 minutes to complete it. The questions asked in the assessments are based entirely on situations that many employees experience daily within the working world.
The goal of these assessments is to measure “real world” skills that various employers believe are necessary to be successful employees. Three different main assessments are offered: applied mathematics, locating information, and reading for information. Prepare with our WorkKeys Study Guide and Practice Questions.
