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
IT and systems administrators, systems engineers, help desk leads, IT analysts and security staff who look after a Google Workspace domain.
What this test can show
Reads the evidence an admin sees
Most questions show a short table of settings, records or log entries and ask what happens next or what the administrator should change.
Gmail administration in context
Questions ask candidates to interpret mail flow and authentication settings, not just describe their past responsibilities.
Settings and their effects
Candidates consider sharing across Drive, Calendar and Meet using plain-language scenarios rather than relying on exact menu paths.
Edition limits made clear
Features limited to particular Google Workspace editions are named as such in the question, so a candidate who ran a different edition is not caught out.
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.
Test integrity signals
Candidates receive different questions from large question pools, in a different order, with shuffled answer options. The browser shows one question at a time, and answer keys stay on HireValid’s servers. The 10-minute timer runs on the server; reloading restores the same question with only the remaining time. Candidates cannot go back to earlier questions. Question text cannot be copied or selected, and a blocked copy attempt is recorded in the timeline. 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 summarize signals for employer review; the system does not decide on its own. With candidate consent, an employer can add webcam photos at random moments.
我们如何防范 AI 作弊 · Integrity signals
Use the score as review evidence
Treat the score as one source of evidence, not a hiring decision. Pair it with a work sample, such as asking the candidate to review a fictional settings table and explain a change to users, licenses or sharing. Then use a structured interview to explore their reasoning. For adjacent areas in your support environment, see the Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange Server tests.
结构化面试问题
A team needs new accounts and a group with access managed by organizational unit. How would you plan the setup?
Listen for a clear sequence covering users, groups, organizational units and licenses, plus how the candidate would check the resulting settings.
A mail-flow change is not having the expected effect. What would you inspect and how would you decide what to change?
Listen for a reasoned approach to Gmail mail flow and authentication settings, with checks tied to the information available.
A team asks to change sharing across Drive, Calendar and Meet. How would you assess the request?
Listen for attention to the requested collaboration settings and how the changes could affect access and account or data protection.
Understand scoring and benchmarks
Fairness and accommodations
Questions describe settings and their effects in plain words rather than exact menu paths, so a candidate is not marked down for a recent change to a screen layout, and features limited to particular editions are named as such in the question. Scenarios use fictional organizations, example domains and names from many backgrounds, with no money, local laws or regional knowledge. Every value a question needs is shown in its text or table.
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.

The 10-minute test has 15 multiple-choice scenario questions. Many include a short table of settings, records or log entries. A separate practice set has 4 questions and takes 4 minutes. No aids are allowed.

Can candidates take the Google Workspace Administration test on a phone?+
