The Project Management aptitude test evaluates a candidate’s ability to plan and execute work to complete projects, as well as aptitude for logical, numerical, and verbal reasoning.
It's an ideal test for pre-employment screening of candidates who are expected to manage a project and the work of a team or take ownership of their own workload.
This test requires candidates to answer multiple-choice questions about the principles and core subjects within the project management discipline and demonstrate the aptitude to make logical deductions, reason about written communication, and understand numerical information.

Consider the following table of their test scores:

Desert | 10 | 4 | 1 |
Beach | 5 | 8 | 5 |
Mountain | 6 | 9 | 6 |

You need to pause one of the projects you manage because of a company-wide budget cut. You decide to pause your internet project because it is the least valuable. The project has a 70% chance of a 150,000 USD profit, but a 30% chance of a 30,000 USD loss.

The company's sick leave policy says:
This company’s sick leave policy applies to all our employees who have been with our company for more than six months. Our employees can take sick leave only when they want to recover from a sudden illness, accident, or injury. They can use up to 10 days of sick leave for these purposes per calendar year.
Upon completion of each 12 month period of employment, employees will receive 3 additional days of sick leave for every completed 12 month period of working for the company. Unspent additional sick leave days cannot be transferred to the next 12 month period. For example, an employee who has worked for the company for 10 years would receive 30 additional days of sick leave, or 40 in total.
Keep in mind that employees who become sick should either use their sick days or work from home to avoid spreading illnesses.
Fill in the blanks, with numbers, for the cases below. Enter the number 0 for cases when an employee doesn't have the right to sick leave, according to the policy.
- Emily, who has worked for us for almost half a year and still hasn't used any sick leave days, has the right to use up to __ sick leave days this year.
- Faith, who just started her 3rd year of working for us and has not taken sick leave until now, had a car accident. She has the right to use up to __ days of sick leave to recover from her injuries.
- Vanessa, who started to work for us a little over a year ago, took 2 days of sick leave last year. She was Faith's passenger in the car accident. Vanessa has the right to use up to __ days of sick leave to recover from her injuries.
- Edith, who began working for us 8 months ago, has the right to use up to __ sick leave days for a volunteer adult care program at a local hospital that lasts the whole day.
- If Gabrielle, who has worked for us for 20 months, and who took a 10-day sick leave immediately after her 6-month trial period had finished, gets ill tomorrow, she will have the right to use up to __ days of sick leave.

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.
