What is a teaching assistant test?
A teaching assistant works in a school, college, or university, providing classroom support alongside a fully qualified teacher. They may help to prepare the classroom for lessons, carry out administrative tasks, contribute to lesson planning, supervise group activities, and provide extra support for students.
A teaching assistant test used in the recruitment process of schools and colleges. It evaluates the proficiency of applicants for teaching assistant vacancies in terms of their cognitive ability and written communication, basic mathematics, and logical thinking – through verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, and abstract reasoning.
About the Teaching Assistant Test
Regardless of the exact parameters of the role, teaching assistants must have excellent communication skills, and a high level of cognitive aptitude to support students with their studies and solve problems under pressure.
The teaching assistant test provides valuable insight, to ensure the most suitable candidates are selected.
Why should you use a teaching assistant test for recruiting?
Using a teaching assistant test in your recruitment process is an effective way to objectively evaluate candidates and streamline your talent pool.
The test can be easily administered to large applicant cohorts and provides valuable insights that can be used alongside resumes and application forms in the screening process.

- Substitute Teacher
- Classroom Assistant

How our test assesses teaching assistant skills
Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable (e.g. Microsoft Excel), soft skills (e.g. teamwork), aptitude (e.g. verbal reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. resilience). The results present a holistic view of how well suited each candidate is for the job at hand, using a data-driven approach.
The format varies by type of question, including multiple-choice for aptitude and technical skills, situational judgement for soft skills and agreement on a Likert scale for the personality dimensions. This approach ensures candidates are being assessed in an accurate and fair manner, and that results reflect the true underlying qualities of each candidate.
The characteristics, abilities and knowledge necessary to be a teaching assistant were identified using the US Department of Labor's comprehensive O*NET database. O*NET is the leading source of occupational information that is constantly updated by collecting data from employees in specific job roles.
During the development process, test questions were rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. They were created by our team of I/O psychologists and psychometricians – who collaborated with subject-matter-experts – and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.
Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of expertise.
Our teaching assistant test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
