The Core Java Programming skills test is a fast, easy way to confirm whether a candidate has a basic understanding of the Java programming language and its usage. The test asks questions pulled from a bank of questions for testing security purposes. HR Avatar periodically adds new questions to this bank to prevent cheating and to stay current with developments in Java technology. Several questions include code samples for review and troubleshooting.

This test is fully mobile ready and operates on most modern mobile devices.

Topics within the Java programming language and APIs that are covered in the test include:

• Collections
• Exceptions
• Interfaces
• Inner Classes
• Threads
• Try with Resources

Note that while the Core Java Programming skills assessment is a useful and efficient instrument for confirming a base level of skill or knowledge about this important topic, it is not intended to pinpoint the exact level of a candidate. We recommend that skills tests, like this one, be used in parallel with other measurements, such as cognitive ability, job fit, and behavioral history. Each different type of test provides a valuable piece of information you can use when evaluating potential job performance.
