Starting price shown is Band C. Your price is based on your country of residence. Prices are charged in USD, and the amount for your band is the final amount you pay — the score report and certificate are included.
Scored assessments are taken on a computer or tablet. Practice is available on any device, and you can register and pay on your phone — only the timed sitting needs the bigger screen.

The assessment
What the assessment looks like
Timed questions, a progress indicator and an on-screen clock.
Research design
A proposal claims a convenience sample of 40 students can establish a causal effect of a teaching method on national outcomes. In a short response, evaluate that design.
The sample cannot identify a national causal effect: the group was not randomly assigned and is too small and too local to represent that population.

What you receive
Your skills, made visible
- GlobalPass Score
- Competency profile
- PDF score report
- Verifiable certificate
- Private result — not published on the Index
Your certificate records the assessment completed, your result and the issue date, and carries a credential ID and QR code. Anyone you share it with can open the public verification page and confirm it is genuine and current — your detailed answers stay private.
The result is evidence of this sitting. It is not an employment decision, a prediction of admission, a clinical or personality diagnosis, or a substitute for the judgement of an employer or a university.

Each assessment has a one-time USD price. Your price is based on your country of residence. If that country does not match the card billing country, access is paused for a pricing check. Card-issuing country, institution location and IP address are not used to set the price. The assessment, scoring, score report and certificate are included.
Duration depends on the assessment, from 60 minutes for Foundations to 110 minutes for Professional Leadership. Each assessment page shows the exact time. Guides, targeted practice, timed practice and a full mock are available first.
