Information on ability test accessibility
Accessibility
Our assessments use a “power test” philosophy, meaning that candidates answer increasingly difficult questions, with fair time limits. This minimises demands on reading speeds and processing time, a common source of test bias on those who read or process more slowly than others (for example, candidates for whom English is not their first language, have visual conditions, or a form of dyslexia/dyspraxia). Our assessments measure underlying abilities, uncontaminated by reading/processing speed. Find out more about what to do if candidates request extra time in their assessment(s).
We also comply with UK DDA requirements to ensure maximum accessibility for respondents. The Clevry candidate interface conforms to level “Double-A” of the W3C accessibility guidelines. This means that all fonts are resizable and are fully compatible for users with accessibility devices such as screen readers and refreshable Braille. Users can also change the contrast of the screen and background colour of the assessments, and test timers can be adjusted for candidates who may need increased time limits.
If you have any queries about the accessibility of our tests, or would like to request any adjustments related to accessibility, please contact us at support.uk@clevry.com
