Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to:

  • Decide when is best to administer a test for a given position

  • Grade tests based on both performance and organization

If you've come this far, you've narrowed the field of candidates to just a few top contenders. The next chapter will cover possibly the most important evaluation of all: the in-person interview.
