The provision to continue
tests broken at the middle is to offset genuine compulsions arising
due to network failure, server problems at host site, Internet
connection blackout and any such foreseen circumstances. Users
are expected to strictly honour the spirit of online testing.
If at any stage, it is found that this provision was misused for
manipulations and personal gains with the intent of fraud, Software Technology International Corp.
reserves the right to invalidate both the test results and test
conduction. If an online test is discontinued for any of the genuine
reasons discussed above, the user is requested to wait for a minimum
of 10 minutes. Following that, you may navigate to the 'broken
tests' folder of your test home page menu and click on the appropriate
test to continue it. The answers attended previously would be
preserved intact and would go in arriving at the final score.

Users are informed that the original
test process would be conducted in a new browser window upon commencing the test.
Please note that this window would be stripped of the browser's navigation capabilities
and right-click feature of mouse would be disabled. Users not adhering to the
above mentioned code of conduct are liable to have their tests or results or both
invalidated. |
| 7.
|
On
completion of the test, the results would be immediately posted
along with the score and test status which could be PASS or FAIL.
Please note that the evaluation done on the test is final and
binding and not open to re-examination under any circumstances.
A detailed breakup analysis of the candidate's individual strength
and weakness in key areas of the topic of the test would be displayed
to enable the candidate to prune his skills in least performing
areas. |
| 8. |
Please note that majority of the questions
fall under multiple choice pattern. There would be only 1 correct answer that
exactly fits the reasoning behind any question. Once a set of questions in a page
is answered and the answers submitted, the user cannot move
back to the same questions and revise his answer. In short, moving back to previous
pages and using of keyboard control keys (for page navigation) is strictly prohibited
as mentioned earlier. |
| 1.
| Candidates
appearing for the test who are not registered users of the site and who attend
the test upon request from a company/recruitment agency are labelled as 'Corporate
Candidates'. The flexibility and facilities available to such 'Corporate Candidates'
is very much restricted. Hence, it is requested that users register themselves
with us for free test evaluation and updates. |
| 2.
| Corporate
Candidates could move on to the test page from the index page of the site by clicking
on the link provided under the 'Corporate Candidate' banner. After going through
the whole instructions, the candidates could proceed to take on the test. The
test window will be closed on completion and the results would be posted directly
to our client under your name and address in a safe manner. |
| 3. |
'Corporate Candidates' do not have their
account maintained by 'Merit-Bay' and hence it would not be possible
for them to access any test related data concerning earlier tests. |

| Clients
and recruitment agencies registered with us have flexible and powerful options
to create and conduct tests whenever necessary for them. |

One of the major advantages of Merit-Bay
online test evaluation under corporate account, is the option to create and use
'Merit-Bay templates'. 'Templates' are defined as the blueprint
or skeleton for any test to be conducted. The corporate clientele can, if they
wish so, create entities called templates. These would be used to arrive at the
basic question formula. This feature is very exciting and powerful as the corporates
now have the ability to select candidates matching their exact standards. |
| |
|

Corporate clients have the option of
choosing between two types of test conduction - template based or otherwise. If
a corporate wishes to conduct a template-based test, he could instruct to conduct
a test with questions based on a template that he specifies. This template could
have been earlier created by him or he could go ahead and proceed to create a
fresh template while requesting bulk tests. In the template creation process,
he could select any combination of the main topics. He could also just opt to
conduct a test in only one particular topic, (say Java) and yet require the testing
be done only on 2 subtopics of Java (Say JavaSwing and Java Basics). This extremely
powerful option enables the corporate to pick up the right candidates for the
right job by thoroughly gauging the candidates expertise in each of the subtopics.
Such an option would enable the corporate to recruit a DBA just by testing his
JDBC and Java Basics skills. |
| |
|
| 4.
| Templates
could also be created by combining or mixing different and unrelated IT fields.
Say a company 'A' could well create a Java-C++ template by selecting Java and
C++ as main topics and Java Basics, JavaSwing, C++ polymorphism and C++ inheritance
as subtopics. |
| |
|
| 5.
|
Corporate clients have yet another powerful option which enables them to request
bulk tests in a particular test or template of his fancy. By selecting the template
or topic he wishes along with the number of tests required, the requested number
of tests would be created under his account and the testid(s) would be displayed
to him. All the tests go under a single entity called 'Test Room' for which
you could assign your own fancy name and description for easy identification.
These testid(s) are to serve as room ticket or id to prospective candidates while
taking the test. The Corporate may also if he wish so, assign Active Room Session
time, a cut-off time limit within which all the corporate candidates would be required
to take the test. It is only optional. If it is not specified, a default timeperiod
which is 5 days prior to the test room life would be assigned for the Room Active
Session time. Upon completion of the test, the company could fetch a detailed
report of the entire test session and have many options of reporting at their
disposal like getting the toppers in any topic / template / test room, get detailed
analysis of candidate's area strength and weakness and related reports. Reports
are mostly customized to enable the corporates to sort them by any order that
they feel required. |
