Take an assessment
Taking and passing assessments is a requirement for most jobs on Scholars. Learn how to take one here.
To be able to apply to most jobs, you'll need to take and pass one or more assessments. Some assessments are attached to a job, and some public assessments may be available from your Assessments list without a job invitation.
From the job page
Go to the job page you wish to apply to. From this page, you can see the assessments required to apply.
Click on an assessment. You'll be brought to the proctoring setup page. (See step 2 below, and continue from there.)
From the Assessments list
Start the assessment
Click on an assessment from the list. You will be prompted to turn on your webcam and enable screen recording to enable proctoring.
Some assessments include a longer description with separate paragraphs, warnings, or extra notes. Read the description before starting so you understand any instructions the assessment creator provided.
Some assessments also include PDF guidelines. If you see Review Guidelines, open the guidelines before starting. When guidelines are available, you can also reopen them from the assessment screen while answering questions.
Once you have given the Scholars website all of the required permissions, you may also be asked to enter full screen mode. If full screen does not start automatically, click the full screen button on the setup page and follow the browser prompt.
When all required permissions are granted and full screen mode is active, the Start Assessment button will become active. By clicking on it, you will start the assessment.
Careful, clicking on Start Assessment will immediately start the assessment.
Certain assessments can only be taken once, so make sure you are actually ready to take the assessment when you click, as you may not have another chance.
Take the assessment
Use the elements on screen to answer the given questions, then click on Finish Assessment to finish your assessment.
If you choose to leave before finishing, Scholars asks you to confirm. Leaving marks the attempt as Abandoned, discards your progress, and prevents you from continuing the same attempt. You can start again only when the assessment allows another attempt or the company enables a retake.
Do not leave an assessment unless you intend to end the attempt. Choose Stay in the confirmation if you want to continue answering.
If an assessment includes answers that require manual review, its job application stage shows Submitted - Scoring after submission until a reviewer finishes scoring it.
