The Technical Support test assesses candidates’ ability to to set up, maintain, troubleshoot, and fix issues relating to computer hardware, software, and networks for a company’s staff or its customers.
It's an ideal test for pre-employment screening of candidates applying for a variety of technical support roles, including tech support agents and IT support specialists. A good candidate for a technical support job will be able to display familiarity with basic computing components, the ability to effectively investigate and identify the root causes of technical problems, and a high level of interpersonal skills.
This test requires candidates to demonstrate the ability to provide technical support in real-world scenarios through a series of multiple-choice questions.
Sample public questions
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?
Your manager hands you a computer component and asks you to install it in a user’s computer, then connect the appropriate cable.
The component looks like this:
Your company has recently released a software update for all versions of its main application, and a user has reported a problem with the mobile version of the application. As you begin troubleshooting the issue, you quickly confirm that you need to file a non-critical bug report for the development team.
What should you do before filing the bug report?
A customer phones to complain about a printer she purchased last week that stopped working. The customer tells you the brand of printer and it's clear she has called the wrong number because your company has never sold that brand.
What responses show appropriate customer service in this situation?

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.
