How to prepare

Know the split. Look at the table above and spend your revision time where the questions are.
Practise against the clock. You have about 180 seconds a question. Do not get stuck on one: move on and come back.
Brush up the basics. Percentages, ratios, time and work, number series and everyday grammar come up in every test, whatever the role.
Sit it somewhere quiet. Use a steady connection and stay on the test screen. Leaving the screen repeatedly gets an attempt flagged for review.
Use the retake. Only your best attempt counts, so a second try after 7 days can only help.

Common questions

Is the Lecturer skill test free?

Yes. Skill tests, jobs and applications on Grohire are free. The only paid part is a live expert interview, and that is optional.

How long is the test and how many questions does it have?

It has 10 multiple-choice questions and you get 30 minutes. The timer starts when you begin and the test is submitted when it runs out.

Can I take it again?

Yes, after 7 days. Only your best attempt counts, so a retake can raise your result but never lower it.

What do employers see?

Your GH Score, a single score out of 10 that includes your best test result. Your phone and email stay hidden until you agree to share them.

Is there negative marking?

No. A wrong answer scores zero and nothing is taken away, so answer every question.
