The Customer Service test assesses the ability to provide assistance to customers before, during, and after purchases. This test requires demonstration of the ability to handle customer interactions through multiple-choice questions and written responses to customer emails.
The assessment includes solving work-sample tasks such as:
- Facilitating positive interactions with angry, demanding, and critical customers.
- Troubleshooting and resolving challenging issues and customer complaints.
- Providing competent customer service and support through written responses.
A good customer service or call center agent will be able to display a high level of interpersonal skills, keen problem-solving abilities, and excellent written communication.
Sample public questions
The customer you are speaking with needs help solving a relatively common problem with his computer printer. Early on in the conversation, you realize he is not at home and can't provide the model number and other information you normally need to process this request. How do you proceed with the call once you discover this information?
You are on the support team for a cable/internet company and you have received the following email from a customer, Mike Smith:
I am very upset that your installation tech did not come to my home today at the appointed time. I took time off from work, all for no reason! I was told he should arrive between 12:00 and 5:00. He didn’t get here until 5:45. I could have just stayed at work since I normally get home at 5:30. This is not a good way to start my new service with you and I am already considering canceling!
A quick check of the notes on the customer’s account shows that the tech was scheduled to arrive ideally between 12:00 and 5:00pm, but didn’t get there until about 5:45 because of heavy traffic resulting from a car accident on one of the major crosstown roadways.
Please draft your response to this customer in the box below.
An elderly customer calls with a problem finding some product information on your company’s website. He is nice enough, just frustrated and hopeless because he can’t find what he needs. The information he’s looking for is too long and complicated to share over the phone. What are the best next steps?
As a customer support agent for a music equipment company you receive an email from Fatema about a violin she bought last week for her son. She says the strings broke while he was playing in his school’s holiday concert and he was embarrassed to tears. She asks what you can do to make it up to him.

What others say
Simple, straight-forward technical testing
TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
