So last week I had the first taste of actual school that I've had in over a year now. With everything that has been going on in the world this past year, all of my tests have been online and I've had to sit at my computer and do them, but last week that changed. Wednesday morning after swim practice I had to shoot up to downtown Durham to be at DSA by 8:30 to take a test, yes to take a test. Now it was definitely not since all of my friends were there wearing masks and we al had to sit apart, I never thought I would say this but I was actually excited to be at school. The test we were there for was something that I have known about since my sophomore year of Highschool when there were some seniors in my game design class who had to take the WorkKeys exam, so I knew that I had to take it eventually. So the WorkKeys test was split up into 3 different parts, the first was a following instructions test, the second was a basic math test, and the third one was about reading charts and graphs. The basic instructions test would have a paragraph explaining how to do something or requirements and the questions would be about a specific part of that paragraph that you would have to identify. Th basic math test was pretty self explanatory except almost all of the problems were word problems and you could use a calculator to solve them. The reading graphs and charts test was also pretty self explanatory where they would ask you a question about the graph or chart and you would have to be able to read the graph/chart to find the correct answer. The purpose of the WorkKeys test is to measure your strengths and weaknesses in professional areas. I actually thought the test was pretty interesting, I felt like it had enough real world type situations to actually be useful for employers to figure out if a candidate is right for a job, so overall I feel like the test was actually something useful for people who are looking to get jobs or for employers to find candidates for their jobs.
