These six intermediate, 10-minute tests measure legal support judgment, legal reasoning and writing, privacy practice, US contract and employment law, and business ethics. They suit legal support staff, people and operations managers, and professionals who handle agreements or personal data. Five use multiple choice; one uses judgment scenarios.

Tests by category

The six tests cover distinct parts of legal and compliance work. Business Ethics and Compliance uses judgment scenarios about conflicts of interest, following rules, decisions across business functions and fair treatment. GDPR and Privacy assesses applying GDPR principles, handling rights requests and breaches, and accountability duties in workplace situations.

For US legal support, Legal Assistant (US) covers intake, client communication, filings, deadlines and professional conduct. Legal Research and Writing (US) measures legal reasoning, close reading, research planning, authority checking and cited drafting. US Contract Law covers contract formation, interpretation, breach, remedies and termination. US Employment Law covers federal rules on fair treatment, hiring, workplace rules, pay and hours, leave and remote work. All six are intermediate and take 10 minutes. Business Ethics and Compliance uses judgment scenarios; the other five use multiple choice.

Choose tests for the role

For legal assistants, paralegals, legal secretaries and other US legal support staff, consider Legal Assistant (US). Paralegals may also need Legal Research and Writing (US), which also suits law clerks, legal researchers and document preparers. Both are intermediate tests for legal office work.

Choose US Contract Law for roles that negotiate or oversee US-law agreements, including contract administrators, procurement and vendor management staff, and junior attorneys. US Employment Law is aimed at HR managers and generalists, employee relations specialists, and people or operations managers making hiring, pay or leave decisions. For managers and team leads making decisions across functions, Business Ethics and Compliance focuses on ethical and compliance judgment. GDPR and Privacy suits roles that write or run personal-data procedures, including HR, marketing and operations managers and CRM or customer data staff. The topics do not overlap, so choose by the role’s work rather than treating the tests as interchangeable.

Combine tests around the work

Use a combination when a role spans more than one of these areas. A US paralegal role with research and drafting duties could pair Legal Assistant (US) with Legal Research and Writing (US). If the same role handles agreements, US Contract Law adds a separate measure of contract-law application.

For an HR manager who handles personal data and employment decisions, combine GDPR and Privacy with US Employment Law. A manager with wider operational responsibilities might add Business Ethics and Compliance to assess judgment on ethical and compliance scenarios. Each test takes 10 minutes. Select only topics tied to the role, and review each score as evidence for a person to consider alongside the work requirements. A score is not a stand-alone hiring decision.

How the tests address fairness

The questions provide context needed for the topic they assess. In Business Ethics and Compliance, each scenario states the rule or conduct-code clause involved. GDPR and Privacy follows the EU regulation’s text and avoids country-specific points such as national employment rules. The US legal tests state relevant rules or facts when they vary: Legal Assistant (US) uses general office practice rather than state rules, and Legal Research and Writing (US) states any rule that varies by state. US Contract Law uses general rules rather than rules from one state; US Employment Law covers federal rules and gives needed facts such as employer size or hours worked.

The test notes also describe plain wording and scenarios that avoid relying on background knowledge not required for the role. Legal Assistant (US) does not use idioms or sports references, and allows scratch paper for date counting. US Employment Law allows scratch paper and uses round numbers for pay arithmetic so a calculator is not needed. Legal Research and Writing (US) uses fictional matters and explains search syntax when a question uses it, so no research product knowledge is needed. Across the tests, names and scenarios are varied and avoid stereotypes, with details tailored to each test’s subject.
