Find the right route

Start with what your invitation names

Employer testing varies by company, role, location, and hiring stage. Use the clue you actually have rather than guessing a universal test.

Employer assessments are company- or role-specific hiring screens. The same employer may use different tools for different jobs, countries, and hiring stages, so the safest starting point is the exact name in your invitation.

Use this hub to identify the employer, assessment format, or provider first. Then open the matching guide and practice only the skills that are relevant to that route.

For general cognitive batteries such as CCAT or Wonderlic, use Cognitive Aptitude Tests. For short original drills, start with Free Practice Tests.

Common assessment formats

Choose the format named or described in your invitation:

Start with the employer name

If the invitation names the company clearly, use that company guide before looking for a generic test. Popular starting points include Amazon, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, UPS, and Bank of America.

The full employer directory below is searchable. Use the company, role, or assessment name from your invitation to narrow it quickly.

Amazon pathway

Amazon candidates should match the page to the stage they are actually completing:

Assessment publishers

Sometimes the invitation names the assessment provider instead of the employer. In that case, start with the provider guide:

More employer and role-specific guides

Use these routes when the invitation names a specific employer, role, or assessment family:

These pages are separate because the assessment process can differ materially by employer, role, location, and hiring stage.

How to use an employer guide

  1. Confirm the company, role, location, and assessment stage in the invitation.
  2. Open the matching employer or provider guide and identify the skills actually being assessed.
  3. Use original practice only for those skills, then return to the official invitation for live rules, timing, and access instructions.

Employer assessment names and delivery platforms change. The official invitation remains the authority for your live application.

FAQ

Do all applicants at the same company take the same assessment?

No. Assessment choice can vary by role, location, hiring stage, and hiring campaign. Match your preparation to the invitation you received.

Should I search by employer or by test name?

Use whichever clue is more specific. If the invitation names both an employer and a provider, start with the employer guide and confirm the provider inside it.

Where should I practice for free?

Use the Free Practice Tests hub for short original drills, then return to the employer guide to keep the practice relevant to your application.

Why trust Job Practice Tests

Independent from employers and test publishers

Job Practice Tests is an educational site. We are not the employer, regulator, or official test publisher, and we say so clearly when a guide discusses a third-party assessment.

Official sources come first

Hiring rules and test formats change. When an employer or agency publishes current instructions, those instructions take priority over any preparation guide, including ours.
