Transformation and processing
Questions cover cleaning and reshaping data for analytics work.
Analysis and visualization
Candidates choose ways to query data and present findings in charts.
Performance and cost
Scenarios ask how choices can make workloads faster and reduce the data stored, scanned, or processed.
Question formats
Multiple choice
The candidate: Reads a short situation, table or statement and picks the right answer, or every right answer.
You see: Whether the candidate knows the material well enough to apply it, not just recognize it.
15 questions in 10 minutes, served one at a time.
Roles this test fits
Data analysts, data engineers, business intelligence developers, analytics engineers, data scientists and other roles that prepare or analyze data on AWS.
What this test can show
Judgment on realistic data flows
Small tables of files, jobs, queries, or settings show how candidates choose an approach for a described AWS workload.
Cost reasoning without price lists
Cost scenarios compare the amount of data stored, scanned, or processed, so you can review how candidates reason about workload choices.
Plain, neutral scenarios
Orders, sensor readings, web events, and support tickets avoid region-specific details and money symbols, helping keep the focus on AWS knowledge.
What you get for each candidate
- Stayed on the test tab throughout
- No pasted answers
- Answered at a steady pace
Scores, profiles and integrity signals are evidence for you to review alongside an interview, never an automatic decision.
How the assessment is delivered
Each candidate receives a different question set from large pools. The 15 multiple-choice questions appear one at a time in a different order, with answer options shuffled. The 10-minute timer runs on the server, and reloading returns the same question with only the remaining time. Candidates cannot go back to earlier questions. Question text cannot be copied or selected; blocked copy attempts are recorded. HireValid records signals such as time away from the test tab, pastes into answers, and answers faster than a question can be read. An Integrity Score and evidence timeline are provided for employer review; neither makes a decision. With candidate consent, employers can add webcam photos at random moments.

Use the score as one signal
Review the score alongside a work sample and a structured interview; do not use it alone to decide. Ask candidates to work through a relevant data task, then discuss their choices against the scenarios in this test. For related coverage, see Snowflake, Tableau, or Power BI.

Understand scoring and benchmarks
Fairness and accommodations
Scenarios use neutral business data such as orders, sensor readings, web events and support tickets, with no money symbols, prices or region-specific details. Cost questions compare choices by the amount of data stored, scanned or processed rather than by price lists, and services are described as they currently behave, using their current names. Names and settings vary across backgrounds, and the reading level is kept plain so the questions test AWS knowledge rather than English.
You can give any candidate extra time as an accommodation. Results are evidence for a person to review, never an automatic decision.
Provisional: reliability is reported once 200 candidates have completed it.
