It is used to earn the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) which helps employers assess candidates’ skills for various roles.
In our experience, and having consulted several previous applicants, the most effective way to prepare is to undertake numerous sample test questions under timed conditions. By practicing under timed conditions, it enables you to improve your scores dramatically and also simulates the actual test. When preparing for your assessment test, follow these 3 simple steps:
STEP 1: Obtain examples of the types of questions you will face during your assessment. Read them and gain an understanding of the format. If you understand the style of questions, the real test will be less daunting.
STEP 2: Practice sample assessment test questions regularly before the real test. Little and often is far better than cramming the night before your test.
STEP 3: The most important step when preparing for your assessment test is to make sure you practice the assessment test questions under strict timed conditions. During the real test, you will undoubtedly be nervous. By practicing numerous multiple-choice example questions under timed conditions it helps to increase your speed of working and competency levels.
Below, are several examples of test questions that are designed to help you prepare for an ACT WorkKeys assessment test. We have included sample question from each category of the online tests.
A company needs to build a rectangular fence around a garden. The length of the garden is 15 meters, and the width is 8 meters. How much fencing material will be required to enclose the garden?
A) 46 meters
B) 48 meters
C) 30 meters
D) 23 meters
A) 46 meters
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
= 2 × (15 + 8) = 2 × 23 = 46 meters
You are given a bar graph showing the monthly sales figures for a store over a six-month period. The sales in February were 25% higher than in January, and the sales in March were 10% lower than in February. If January’s sales were £5,000, what were the sales in March?

The chart below shows the number of safety incidents reported in three warehouse locations over four months.
| Month | Warehouse A | Warehouse B | Warehouse C |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 12 | 8 | 10 |
| February | 9 | 6 | 10 |
| March | 15 | 5 | 9 |
| April | 8 | 7 | 11 |
If the company sets a monthly target of no more than 10 safety incidents per warehouse, in which month did all three warehouses meet the target?
A) January
B) February
C) March
D) April
B) February
January: A = 12 (fail) → Not all met.
February: None higher than 10.
March: A = 15 (fail) → Not all met.
April: A = 8 (pass), B = 7 (pass), C = 11 (fail) → Not all met.
A small workshop uses a 240-volt single-phase motor to power a cutting machine. The motor draws 12 amps when running.
The workshop wants to install a new fuse to protect this motor. The manufacturer recommends using a fuse rated at 125% of the motor’s full-load current.
What size fuse should be installed?
A) 12 amps
B) 15 amps
C) 20 amps
D) 25 amps
C) 20 amps
125% = 1.25 × 12 amps
1.25 × 12 = 15 amps.
Standard fuse ratings: 15 A, 20 A, 25 A, etc.
The next available rating above 15 A is 20 amps.
You are a shift supervisor at a warehouse. A delivery driver arrived two hours late with damaged goods, which delayed the day’s schedule. Your manager, Ms Harris, has asked you to send her a short email explaining what happened, including:
The problem that occurred
The impact on operations
The action you took
Write a professional, concise email to Ms Harris.
Dear Ms Harris,
This morning, the scheduled delivery from TransitCo arrived at 11:15, two hours later than planned. Several boxes containing fragile items were damaged in transit. The delay affected our packing schedule, and orders for two major clients were completed later than expected.
I documented the damages, took photographs for our records, and contacted TransitCo to arrange a replacement shipment. The damaged goods have been set aside for return.
Please let me know if you would like me to escalate the matter to their regional manager.
Kind regards,

Confirm that the main power switch is turned ON.
Fill the water reservoir with cold, potable water up to the engraved fill line. Overfilling may cause spillage or internal electrical damage.
Inspect the filter basket for cleanliness and correct seating. Remove any leftover grounds or residue from previous use. If the basket is not properly seated, water may bypass the coffee grounds and drain directly into the carafe, resulting in under-brewed coffee.
Measure 18 grams of medium-ground coffee for each 250 ml of water. Use only the company-issued scoop.
Place the carafe securely under the spout to prevent overflow.
Press the “Brew” button and allow the full cycle to complete before serving.
Important: Steps 2 and 3 must be completed in sequence before adding coffee grounds. Skipping these may lead to poor product quality, contamination, or machine malfunction.
Q. During the morning shift, a new employee follows all steps except Step 3. The filter basket from the previous day still contains damp grounds but is correctly positioned in the machine. Based on the document, which is the most likely result?
A) The coffee will be watery because water bypasses the grounds.
B) The coffee will contain old grounds, affecting flavour and hygiene.
C) The carafe will overflow due to excess liquid.
D) The brewing cycle will stop before completion.
B) The coffee will contain old grounds, affecting flavour and hygiene.
Step 3 requires the filter basket to be clean and properly seated.
In this scenario, the basket is correctly seated, so water will not bypass the grounds (eliminating A).
The issue is the leftover damp grounds, which will mix with the new coffee, leading to contamination and poor flavour.
Overflow (C) results from not placing the carafe securely or overfilling the reservoir.
Early cycle stop (D) is not mentioned as a consequence in the document.
