SkilTrak' automated testing and scoring software makes it easy to administer and score the simulation. SkilTrak provides participants with all of the information they need to complete the simulation, including instructions, practice opportunities, and skills assessments. The full assessment can be completed in about 30 minutes. The data entry and typing sections are automatically computer scored. The e-mail composition section is scored using an onscreen checklist to quickly and objectively evaluate written responses.
