About the Criteria Basic Skills Test 2
The CBST2 is a fast, customizable, and accessible test for assessing essential workplace problem-solving skills. It measures mathematical reasoning, abstract reasoning, verbal reasoning, critical reasoning, and checking accuracy. The modular format enables you to choose which components you’d like to assess. CBST2 is also adaptive and compatible with screen readers, offering a fast and friendly candidate experience.
