About the Test

The google sheets test has been designed mainly to assess the candidate in the topics of Numerical Functions, Tables and Graphs, Data Management, etc.

Google Sheets is a free, web-based spreadsheet application that is part of the Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite) productivity suite. It allows users to create and edit spreadsheets online, collaborate with others in real-time, and access their sheets from any device with an internet connection.

Its online spreadsheet application enables users to create, edit and format spreadsheets online to organize and analyze information. Google Sheets is often compared to Microsoft Excel, as both applications are used for similar purposes. Google Sheets is essentially Google’s cloud-based version of Microsoft Excel’s basic features.

Customer Satisfaction

Testlify helps you identify the best talent from anywhere in the world, with a seamless experience that candidates and hiring teams love every step of the way.

1

Tables and Graphs

Tables and graphs are visual representations of data that can be created in Google Sheets. Tables display data in a grid format, with rows and columns, while graphs allow users to visualize data in a graphical format, such as a bar chart or line chart.

2

Data management

Data management refers to the process of organizing, storing, and analyzing data in Google Sheets. This can include tasks such as sorting and filtering data, using formulas and functions to manipulate data, and creating charts and graphs to visualize data.

3

Working with Google Sheets

Working with Google Sheets refers to the process of creating, editing, and collaborating on spreadsheets in the Google Sheets application. This can include tasks such as formatting cells and text, inserting and deleting rows and columns, and collaborating with others in real-time.

4

Numerical functions

Numerical functions are mathematical functions that can be used in Google Sheets to perform calculations on numerical data. Examples of numerical functions include SUM, AVERAGE, and MAX. These functions can be used to perform tasks such as finding the sum of a range of cells, calculating the average of a range of cells, or finding the maximum value in a range of cells.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
