About the Working With Data test

The ability to work with data is important in a wide range of roles, from data entry clerks to analysts and managers.

It is important that those working on inputting, reading, and manipulating the data have a solid understanding of the principles behind data management to avoid introducing errors that could have a significant impact on business outputs. A good understanding of data is also necessary when performing analysis or creating data visualizations to ensure that the data is being represented truthfully.

This Working With Data test evaluates candidates' understanding of data handling concepts and their skills in performing basic data analysis and interpretation and in working with graphs.

Candidates who perform well on this test have a strong grasp of data concepts, can ensure data integrity is maintained during input, and are able to carry out basic analysis, interpretation, and produce simple visualizations.
