What is a school secretary test?
School secretaries perform various administrative duties in colleges and schools. They help to ensure that school duties run smoothly, allowing teachers to focus their efforts on providing quality education, as opposed to worrying about record-keeping or other time-consuming administrative tasks.
School secretaries are responsible for various organisational and administrative tasks, and will need to demonstrate a variety of competencies to be successful.
The test provides schools and colleges with an unbiased, data-driven way to assess candidates fairly and accurately. The multiple-choice test is best used during the early stages of the recruitment process, for easier shortlisting.
About the School Secretary Test
School secretaries are an integral part of a school's staff. They may also support the senior leadership team and teachers, which allows other teams to focus on children's education rather than admin.
The school secretary test evaluates your talent pool to highlight which candidates possess the necessary skills and competencies to perform successfully, ensuring only the most qualified candidates are shortlisted.
Why should you use a school secretary test for recruiting?
Recruiting the best school secretary is not always easy. Traditional methods of pre-screening applications from candidates with a seemingly similar level of experience can make the shortlisting process long and challenging.
Using resumes alone can also leave schools susceptible to hiring bias in their recruitment process. Neuroworx's test helps solve this problem by providing an accurate way to compare candidates and shortlist the top applicants.
The test is easily shared with test-takers via email and allows you to measure a candidate against the key skills and competencies, such as verbal/non-verbal reasoning, error checking, writing skills, and attention to detail.
Once a candidate has completed their test, you will receive a score that reflects their performance. Applicants who score highly can then be shortlisted, and more time can be invested in quality candidates during the interview stages.

How our test assesses school secretary skills
Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable (e.g. Microsoft Excel), soft skills (e.g. teamwork), aptitude (e.g. verbal reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. team orientation). The results present a holistic view of how well suited each candidate is for the job at hand, using a data-driven approach.
The format varies by type of question, including multiple-choice for aptitude and technical skills, situational judgement for soft skills and agreement on a Likert scale for the personality dimensions. This approach ensures candidates are being assessed in an accurate and fair manner, and that results reflect the true underlying qualities of each candidate.
The characteristics, abilities and knowledge necessary to be a school secretary were identified using the US Department of Labor's comprehensive O*NET database. O*NET is the leading source of occupational information that is constantly updated by collecting data from employees in specific job roles.
During the development process, test questions were rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. They were created by our team of I/O psychologists and psychometricians – who collaborated with subject-matter-experts – and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.
Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of expertise.
Our school secretary test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
