We understand that students often face tight schedules and heavy pressure, so we've made testing more convenient by offering online exams that can be remotely proctored. It's important to keep in mind, however, that following all test protocols is essential to ensure that your results are not withheld.

To ensure your success on the assessment, we suggest taking some time to refresh your skills by conducting personal research on the topics covered in the syllabus. Remember, this test is all about showcasing your skills, so it's essential to be fairly prepared.

You have the flexibility to take the skill test at any time during a span of seven (7) consecutive calendar days, starting from the date of your test registration. This allows you to plan your test-taking experience to best suit your personal circumstances and ensure you are fully prepared to showcase your skills.

To equip candidates with a reputable certificate of specialization and instil a sense of achievement, Internset has teamed up with an independent third-party assessment company called ExpertRating. This partnership provides a fair and impartial platform to evaluate a candidate's expertise in a specific domain. Additionally, this approach provides supplementary verification of a candidate's claimed skill proficiency to prospective employers.

Here's how the grading system works:

1. To pass the skill test, you are required to answer a minimum of 60%-80% of the questions correctly.

2. Your percentile is defined dynamically, based on other test-takers.

3. The time it takes you to complete the test is tracked.

After passing the skill test, you'll get graded and receive a topic-wise breakdown of your proficiency (Performance Analysis report). You'll also get a Certificate of Specialization and a Credential of Readiness letter via email. You can use these to boost your job/internship applications, increase the recruiter's trust, and stand out from other candidates.

Upon registration, you will be required to complete the skill test at your convenience within a span of seven (7) consecutive calendar days. Please note that any alterations to the test date are not allowed during or after this period. It is imperative to ensure that you allocate sufficient time and resources to prepare for and complete the assessment within the allotted time frame.

Upon successful completion of the skill test, you'll receive clean links for your Certificate of Specialization and a Credential of Readiness letter. These verified records can be shared on professional documents such as resumes, job/internship applications, and social media profiles such as Linkedin or Github as evidence of your expertise in various contexts.

If you are unable to pass the test or want to improve your existing score, any new attempts for the same test will be subject to a discounted fee structure where you may re-appear by paying $5.00 only.
