Computer & Digital FundamentalsPhishing, two-factor, file formats and IP — 25 questions on the digital hygiene employers now assume.

Baseline employability, tested with a security block that matters
Which of four devices is an input device; what an operating system actually does; what two-factor authentication adds and why a strong password alone is not enough; the shortcut that undoes the last action in nearly every application. Around those sit items on file formats and what they preserve, what the cloud is and is not, how an IP address and a domain relate, what reply-all does to a thread, what a spreadsheet cell reference means and how a database differs from a sheet. The security block is deliberately heavy — phishing tells, HTTPS, ransomware and backups — because digital hygiene is now the first thing an employer's IT team worries about in a new hire.
The bank is original and aligned to international digital-literacy screening conventions across hardware, operating systems, networks, security hygiene and office tools. Option lengths are parity-controlled, so the correct answer is never the longest or the most technical-sounding, and distractors are the beliefs people actually hold — that HTTPS means a site is trustworthy, that deleting a file removes it, that a scanner is an output device. Every key has its reasoning stated in the explanation, written for a non-specialist, so the review doubles as a short course in the fundamentals you missed.
The report scores Technology & Programming Logic and Cognitive Speed & Agility separately, banded from Emerging to Exceptional with a coaching interpretation each. For an employer that tells you whether a candidate lacks the concepts or merely worked slowly through a familiar set; for a candidate it tells you which of the seven topic areas to read up on before an interview or an induction. The question-by-question review explains all 25 items, and the growth plan orders the topic areas by how many marks each cost you.
What you walk away with
Technology & Programming Logic is banded Emerging, Developing, Strong or Exceptional with an interpretation written for onboarding: what a Strong hire can be trusted with on day one and what a Developing hire will need an IT induction to cover.
Because the security block is weighted heavily, the review makes your grasp of phishing, two-factor, HTTPS and backups visible on its own — the part of digital literacy that costs an organisation most when a new hire gets it wrong.
All 25 items carry a plain-language explanation of why the key is right and why the common belief behind each distractor is not, so a wrong answer about file formats or IP addresses becomes a concept you now hold correctly.
The AI-written narrative reads your misses across the seven areas — hardware, OS, files, cloud, networks, office tools, security — and the plan ranks what to read first before an interview, an induction or the next test in the series.

Frequently asked questions
Seven areas of digital literacy every modern role assumes: hardware roles and storage, operating systems, files and formats, cloud concepts, networks and IP, email mechanics, spreadsheets and databases — plus a heavily weighted security block on passwords, phishing, two-factor authentication, HTTPS, ransomware and backups. Twenty-five items in 18 minutes. It is aimed at graduates and entry-level applicants, and at employers checking digital hygiene before granting system access.
No. Option lengths are parity-controlled and the most technical-sounding option is frequently a distractor built from a common misconception. Each item has one keyed answer with its reasoning stated in the explanation. Correct answers roll into two banded competencies, Technology & Programming Logic and Cognitive Speed & Agility, and an overall 0–100 score with a band from Emerging to Exceptional. The bands describe where you stand, not a cut-off.
Eighteen minutes for 25 items in one sitting, on any device. The report is generated immediately from your responses: overall banded score, radar and banded bars for the two competencies with coaching interpretations, an AI-written narrative, strengths and development areas, a prioritised growth plan ordered by topic area and a question-by-question review explaining all 25 answers in plain language. Everything is included; there is nothing further to unlock.
Employers use the band and the security-block results to decide what an IT induction must cover before a new hire receives system access, and as a consistent screen for high-volume office and support roles. Candidates read the explanations for every miss, follow the growth plan's reading order and retake before an interview. Career-returners use it to confirm which fundamentals have moved on since they last worked.
Yes. Hardware, operating systems, file formats, networks, email and security hygiene work the same everywhere, and the item formats follow international digital-literacy screening conventions with no regional software or local knowledge assumed. Bands describe performance rather than rank against a national group. The test is priced in INR and USD, and the live price appears on this page in your currency.
Numerical, verbal, logical, abstract, spatial, data and workplace-judgment banks — each an original item bank with every rule stated in the explanation, scored per competency and reported with a banded profile and a growth plan. Sit one, or build a battery from several.
