Quizzes and Tests, Answered

Start with the Career DNA Quiz, because every other tool on the platform builds on it. Then take the six Know Yourself quizzes in any order. The aptitude tests open when your guidance counsellor assigns them, and your dashboard shows which ones are waiting for you.

You do, on your student dashboard, and so does your guidance counsellor, who uses them to prepare for your guidance meetings. Your results are not shared with colleges, the CAO or employers.

To save your results, yes. Log in with the account your school set up for you, and each result goes straight to your dashboard. The aptitude tests also need your guidance counsellor to assign them before they open.

No. If your school uses MyCareerVerse, every quiz and test on this page is included for you.

Not in the Know Yourself quizzes or the sector match quizzes: they are about what you prefer, value and enjoy, so the only wrong answer is one that is not honest. The aptitude tests do have right answers, because they measure how quickly and accurately you work with words, numbers, shapes, machines and detail.

Yes, and your dashboard keeps your most recent result. It is worth retaking the Know Yourself quizzes each year, because interests and values change as you learn more about yourself. The Checking Test is the one exception: it has two sittings, on different questions, at least 14 days apart, and your guidance counsellor assigns each one.

No. Each result is one piece of the picture, alongside your subjects, grades, interests and plans. The quizzes give you and your guidance counsellor something real to talk about, and the decision stays yours.

Most take under ten minutes, and the sector match quizzes about three or four. The Career DNA Quiz takes about ten minutes, and the Checking Test has a fixed six-minute timer after three untimed practice questions.

Not Sure Which Quiz to Start With?

The Career DNA Quiz is the one most students wish they'd taken first. It feeds every other tool on the platform: your courses, your career matches, your dashboard. Ten minutes now saves months of second-guessing later.
