# Javascript Programming (Core) Assessment

## Description
The Javascript Programming (Core) assessment is designed to evaluate the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level to mid-level programmers to write software programs for business operations using libraries, keywords, and packages from the standard specification of JavaScript. The test measures candidate and employee proficiency across six key skill areas: Variables, Data Types, and Scope; Functions and Control Flow; Objects, Arrays, and Collection Structures; Asynchronous Programming and Promises; Object-Oriented Programming and Modules; and Error Handling and Debugging. It assesses comprehension of scope rules, data types, and collection structures, as well as the implementation of program logic using functions, modules, and object-oriented principles to build reusable components. The test also gauges the execution of asynchronous operations, manipulation of text strings, formulation of arithmetic calculations, and isolation of runtime errors using exception blocks and console utilities.

The assessment uses a variety of question formats, including Multiple Choice, Multiple Correct Answer, and Essay Composition questions, with one or more questions scored using artificial intelligence to ensure accurate evaluation. Questions are randomly selected from a large pool to minimize the risk of cheating, and one or more questions are subject to individual time limits to further deter dishonesty and enhance the predictive validity of results.
