How does it work?

4

The Core Assessment is broken up into 11 short 4-15 minute exercises. You can take a break after any exercise, but not during the middle!

Many students refer to these exercises as “brain games.”

Core Assessment

You will get a personalized report that surfaces your aptitudes with matching education and career pathways.

Your results will also include a bank of personal words and phrases that can help you describe your talent to others.

Personalized Results

You might not think the exercises are measuring anything valuable that can help you with your future. Well, believe it or not it really does measure how your brain is wired and important aspects of what makes you, uniquely you!

SPEAKER TEXT: Aptitude & Career Discovery aims to identify what your aptitudes are, so that you can find a path that allows you to do your best work in a way that feels natural and enjoyable for you. Wouldn’t you want your everyday to feel like you’ve done great work without stress or frustration? What is the best fit for you?

While you are doing the exercises, keep in mind that knowing what’s challenging for you is just as important as knowing what’s easy.

If you were to cheat and fold a real piece of paper while you were taking the Spatial Visualization exercise–sure, your results would probably show that you have a knack for this aptitude–but would you want it? You’d then be recommended careers that fit with that level of Spatial Visualization. If those careers are not actually a good fit for you, working in them would be stressful–and you’d probably not be very happy. So, definitely try your best, but remember–this is about what you naturally do well, and about how you fit with potential majors and careers. Let the natural you shine through. Your future self will thank you for it.

Do not cheat. This is not for a grade and you will not be compared to others. This is only for you. You’d only be cheating yourself of an opportunity to learn about you.

Paper and pencil are ONLY permitted during the Numerical Reasoning & Numerical Computation Exercises. Do not use any other aide while you are taking the assessment. When breaking these rules you are only cheating yourself and your future.

Do not distract your neighbors. It’s ok if you are frustrated or need a break, but these exercises take a lot of concentration and focus. Even a momentary distraction can pull someone out of their focus and cause them to fumble an exercise. It is unfair to those around you to make them lose an opportunity to get the most accurate information about themselves.

If you need to step away and come back to finish the exercises later, stop at the end of an exercise and log-off. It is perfectly fine to log off after an assessment, your work will not be lost.

NOTE: During the assessment, provide 10- and 5-minute warnings before class time is up.

Make sure students are not in the middle of an exercise when the bell rings. Give 10- and 5-minute warnings and tell your students not to begin a new exercise if it will take longer than the amount of time they have left. See the following article for details on how long each brain game takes: https://youscience.my.site.com/helpcenter/s/article/how-long-does-each-brain-game-take-to-complete

If a student was interrupted in the middle of an exercise and could not complete it, please contact YouScience through chat. We will reset that student’s interrupted exercise so they can complete it in one sitting when they return.

Make sure the students LOG OUT of their account prior to shutting down their computer or closing the browser. If they do not, the computer will remember them as the user and the next student will immediately be in that student’s account. You do not want students completing each others’ assessment.
