What This Covers

Data Comparison

Matching two versions of a record field by field to find where a name, number, or code has been altered, added, or omitted.

Code and Reference Checks

Verifying strings of letters and digits, such as product or account codes, where a single transposed character counts as an error.

Speed and Accuracy Balance

Working quickly without letting the pace cause missed errors, since these tests score both how fast and how correctly you check.

Systematic Scanning

Using a consistent left to right, character by character method so no field is skipped when many similar items must be reviewed.

Sample Questions

A few real questions from this test, with answers and explanations. Take the full test above for the complete set.

Which pair is NOT identical?

Answer: QW34 and QW43

QW34 and QW43 differ: the last two digits are transposed, so this pair does not match.

The reference code is 4A7K9. Which option matches it exactly?

Answer: 4A7K9

Only 4A7K9 matches character for character; the others change the final digit, reorder characters, or swap the K for an X.

Reference number: 500321. Which option is an exact match?

Answer: 500321

Only 500321 matches the reference digit for digit; the others transpose adjacent digits.

Treating uppercase and lowercase as different, which reference and copy pair is an exact match?

Answer: Bravo3 and Bravo3

Bravo3 and Bravo3 match in both case and characters; the other pairs differ in letter case or in the trailing digit.

Which two strings are identical: (1) HELLO (2) HELL0 (3) HELLO?

Answer: 1 and 3

Strings 1 and 3 are both HELLO with the letter O, while string 2 uses a zero, so 1 and 3 match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this assessment

Error checking is the ability to spot differences and mistakes between sets of information quickly and accurately. Tests present pairs of data, codes, or text and ask you to identify where they differ, measuring concentration and attention to detail under strict time pressure.

The tight timing is deliberate. Employers want to know how accurately you can check information at speed, because real clerical and data roles involve verifying many records quickly. The tests reward candidates who maintain a low error rate without slowing down excessively, reflecting genuine workplace demands.

They are common in recruitment for administrative, clerical, data entry, banking, and quality control positions. Any role where verifying records, codes, or documents accurately is essential may use them, since the skill predicts how reliably a person catches small but important mistakes.

Adopt a consistent method: compare one field or character at a time, left to right, rather than glancing at whole items. Do not linger too long on any single check, and trust your first careful pass. Practising builds a rhythm that keeps you both fast and accurate.

Scores are based on the number of correct answers divided by total questions, with a breakdown by topic category.

Yes, questions are randomly selected and ordered from our question bank to ensure each attempt is unique.
