You've reached the end of your assessment! What comes next is a quick, three-step process. A progress bar at the top of the page shows where you are, and you'll see a confirmation that your assessment has been submitted to the hiring team.
General information
The first step invites you to share a little about yourself, like your education, experience, and location. This is completely optional and analyzed anonymously to help make assessments fairer for everyone. The hiring team never sees it. Feel free to skip it if you prefer.
Feedback
In the second step, we ask you to rate your overall assessment experience on a scale of 1 to 5. Your feedback is anonymous and only used to help us improve the product. You can skip this step too.
Please note that some employers may turn off one or both steps. If you don't see them, nothing is wrong!
Completion
The final screen shows what comes next. You'll be invited to create a TestGorilla profile, where you can verify your skills, compare your results with peers, and showcase your strengths to future employers. If the employer has chosen to share your results with you, you'll be able to view them there too.
You'll also receive a confirmation email with the subject line Your assessment was submitted, what's next? It includes answers to common questions about completing your assessment, along with a direct link to your TestGorilla profile to view your results, or to create one if you haven't already.
So that's it. You're done. Congratulations!
Next steps
We'll send your results to the potential employer. If the employer has chosen to share your results with you, you'll be able to view them on your TestGorilla profile. This article explains how to create one.
For any follow-up about the next steps in your application, you'll need to reach out to the employer directly. TestGorilla doesn't have access to this information.
🎉 You've finished your assessment, great job!

Common questions
Who do I contact for technical issues during my assessment?
If you encounter any technical issues during your assessment, please first refer to our FAQ and troubleshooting guide.
What equipment do I need to complete my assessment?
You can find a full equipment list in our article Tools for taking an assessment.
Why can’t I log in?
You do not need to log in to take an assessment. If you were invited to take a TestGorilla assessment and you find yourself on a login page, go back to the invitation, copy the link at the bottom of the email, and paste it into your browser.
Can I view sample questions to get an idea of what each test is like?
At the start of each test, you will be shown four practice questions to give you an idea of what types of questions might be asked.
When does the timer start running?
The timer starts at the beginning of each test. Before each test, we will let you know how long it will take. A timer will display at the top of the page during the test.
How long does an assessment take?
The duration of an assessment varies, as they are created and customized by each company using the system. Most assessments take about 60-90 minutes. The summary found on the Welcome screen of your assessment will give you an idea of how long it will take.
Can I go back to earlier questions if I have time left in the test?
No. You’re shown one question per screen. After you submit your answer, you cannot go back, even if you skip the question.
Can I take a break during the assessment?
Yes, you can take breaks between tests. Once you start a test, you will need to complete it before you can take a break.
What should I do if I can’t complete my assessment for any reason?
If you’re having technical issues, the fastest answers are found in our FAQ and troubleshooting guide. If you are unable to complete the assessment due to scheduling, personal issues, or because you lack the equipment to do so, please contact the prospective employer to make other arrangements.
How can I log back into my assessment to continue?
Clicking the personal link found in your candidate invitation will take you back to the assessment.
Can I view my results after I’ve completed an assessment?
Yes, you can! At the end of your assessment, you'll be invited to create a TestGorilla profile, where you can get an overview of your results and the status of your past and current assessments. Click here to learn more about TestGorilla Profiles.
If the employer has chosen not to share your results, you won't be able to see your scores. This decision is made at the employer's discretion.
We do not share the answers to test questions with candidates or companies, to protect the integrity of our tests.
What if I didn’t do well on the assessment? Can I try again?
You can only take an assessment once. They’re made to test your current skills and abilities and are not designed for practice or repetition.
Do I have to take the test in full-screen?
Yes. The assessment must be completed in full-screen mode. If you leave full-screen, the current question will be hidden until you return, and a reminder will appear that the test must remain in full-screen. The timer will keep running and your activity will be visible to the hiring company.
In some cases, there may be exceptions. Where exceptions apply, you will be clearly notified on screen.
