WorkKeys scores help identify how your skills compare to the requirements of a job.  \nWorkKeys assessment questions reflect real-world work scenarios. That’s why employers nationwide rely on these assessments to hire, train, and promote the most qualified candidates. The ACT® WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Certificate™ (NCRC®) is awarded on the basis of an individual’s WorkKeys scoresand is the most widely used employability credential in the country.  \nACT WorkKeys assessments evaluate foundational skills, which:  \n• Determine your skills levels achieved.  \n• Identify areas for improvement.  \n• Match skills levels to specific job requirements.  \n• Demonstrate to employers that you have the skills needed for workplace success.  \nBased on data from more than 22,000 job profiles, ACT has identified three foundational skills that are essential to success in most jobs. These three core skill assessments also form the basis for earning the WorkKeys NCRC:  \n• Applied Math  \n• Graphic Literacy  \n• Workplace Documents  \nI took my ACT WorkKeys tests before I even got hired. I was Gold  \ncertified. I think it made employers notice me. It’s a good test that shows your capability in certain areas, and I think it really helps a company determine which employees have a skill set needed to hire for the optimal position.  \n—EVAN SHOCKEY  \nTRAINING COORDINATOR, BERNER FOOD & BEVERAGE  \nUNDERSTANDING YOUR ACT WORKKEYS ASSESSMENT SCORES  \nAfter taking the assessments, you will receive a score report. Your score is determined by the number of questions answered correctly. There is no penalty for guessing. If you take the WorkKeys  \nassessments on a computer, you will receive an Individual Score Report. This report documents your skill level for each assessment taken and describes the tasks associated with each skill level.  \nACT WORKKEYS SCORE REPORTS  \nYour report may be slightly different from those shown here, depending on how and where you took the test, but all of the essential elements are the same.  \nTEST is the name of the WorkKeys assessment you took.  \n1  \n2  \nLEVEL SCORE is the score you earned on this assessment and is often used in hiring and advancement decisions.  \n3  \nPOSSIBLE RANGE shows the lowest and highest possible Level Score and Scale Score for an assessment, so you can see how well you did compared to the minimum and maximum possible scoreson this test. In this example, the range is from Level 3 through Level 7 and 65 through 90.  \n4  \nSCALE SCORE is used primarily for training purposes to track growth. Scale scores are not used in hiring or advancement decisions.  \n5  \nWHAT YOUR SCORES MEAN gives you information about the skills you demonstrated on this assessment.  \nFor more information about scores, [visit](visit act.org/workkeysforjobseekers)[ act.org/workkeysforjobseekers](visit act.org/workkeysforjobseekers).  \nMAKING THE MOST OF YOUR ACT WORKKEYS SCORES  \nIf you already have a job in mind, compare your Level Scores to those needed for your target job. Let’s compare the sample report with the scores needed for the occupation shown below.  \nIn this example, the job requires a score of Level 5 for Graphic Literacy. The sample report shows a score of Level 6. Therefore, this individual has the foundational skills for this job.  \nARE YOU STILL EXPLORING CAREER OPTIONS?  \nIf you do not yet have a specific job in mind, use your WorkKeys scores to explore career possibilities. Visit the ACT WorkKeys Occupational Profile website to review careers and compare your skill levels to those required for success on the job. This can help you identify career paths that align with your strengths and interests.  \nGIVE YOURSELF THE WORKKEYS NCRC ADVANTAGE  \nDocumenting your skills with the WorkKeys NCRC gives you an advantage in launching ","cbCaigprSQPP54HW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigprSQPP54HW","pdf",1376798,"English","# Understanding ACT WorkKeys Assessment Scores\n## ACT WorkKeys Score Reports\n## What Your Scores Mean\n# Making the Most of Your ACT WorkKeys Scores\n## Give Yourself the WorkKeys NCRC Advantage\n## How Your Scores Work For You\n# Aiming Higher: Resources to Improve Your Scores","[{\"question\":\"What do ACT WorkKeys assessment scores indicate for job readiness?\",\"answer\":\"WorkKeys scores compare your skills with job requirements.
