A 15-second timer means candidates can't Google answers

Either you know it - or you don't.

1. A 15-second timer per question means candidates don't have time to Google the answer!

   • "Either you know it, or you don't" -- Candidates should be able to answer multiple-choice questions instantly, if they know their stuff.

   • 15-seconds is not enough time to transcribe a question into ChatGPT, get the answer, and rotate back to Tiger Testing to answer it correctly.

   • "How short the timer can be" is an active area of research... Is 10 seconds enough? 6 seconds?

Pre-packaged hiring quizzes also have the following properties:

2. Pre-packaged hiring tests come from a test bank containing thousands of questions. Even if a candidate takes the same hiring test over-and-over again, they will never get the same test twice! It's impossible for them to take the test, screen-shot the questions, and then research the answers and with the expectation that they'll be asked the same set of questions. 

3. Randomizing the order of the answers (which responses are A, B, C, or D) provides an additional layer of friction or "sand-in-the-gears" for would-be-cheaters.

What makes a custom Tiger Test any different than a Google Form??

• The first key difference is the timer. Google Forms does not have such a timer, and so candidates can easily research answers if you substituted a Tiger Test with any sort of online survey tool. The timer makes sure that candidates who don't know the basics can't pass the test.

• Tiger Testing automatically scores and sorts candidates, which is not a native capability of Google Forms. In other words, with Google Forms you would need to manually score each survey response against the correct answers, and then sort the candidates.

  • With the randomization of the order of the answers (randomly rotating whether the correct answer was A, B, C, or D) this becomes an impossible task in Google forms.

• Tiger Testing also has a "mini-crowd sourcing feature" which allows your staff to contribute questions to the platform. You can then manage (approve/not) or edit these questions. This is much harder to do in Google Forms (who contributed what question?).

• Google Forms cannot randomly select questions from a pool of test questions. So if you had a pool of 200 test questions and wanted to randomly rotate through 30 of them for a hiring test, you would not be able to do that with Google Forms.

• Tiger Testing offers pre-packaged hiring tests which you can deploy with a single click.

• Tiger Testing is a comprehensive skills testing platform which:

  • Allows experts to contribute test questions

  • Allows job seekers to earn Certificates

  • Allows hiring managers to deploy pre-packaged tests without having to come up with the questions on their own...
