    Hi everyone

    Has anyone done online secretarial tests for recruitment agencies, in particular skills arena. Are they difficult and what exactly will I be tested on?

    Thanks peeps

    One I heard was to type a letter along with an audio recording of somebody talking, you only get one chance and no rewind. It seems hard but it's hard for everybody too, they obviously don't expect 100%, other things were proof reading letters and writing a response to a fake email.

    Ok cool thanks

    I should add that it's for a legal secretarial job so I presume there will be all the Microsoft 2010 applications

    Online tests are normally done in a web browser, organisations tend to prefer Office 2007 too, I think there was better value in it or something. Good online tests will be able to block spell checkers too.
