About the Google Slides test

A well-defined project roadmap plan, a creative pitch for a new product, and a clear, well-structured infographic presenting interesting data and findings are all artifacts that are commonly created with Google Slides. A strong level of understanding of Google Slides’ functionalities and the ability to design a cohesive slide deck are essential for crafting a powerful presentation.

The Google Slides test for professionals assesses candidates’ knowledge of the various features Google Slides has to offer. Through questions that focus and expand on the different core functions of the tool, this test evaluates candidates’ ability to create and display objects and visual assets, their skills in structuring and arranging the latter within slides, and their knowledge of productivity and collaboration features within Google Slides.

Candidates who perform well on this test know how to use Google Slides proficiently, utilizing core layout and design functions. They know how to order slides and distribute components within them in favor of more harmonious presentations. The test ensures that these candidates can also create slide decks that clearly and logically communicate business goals, objectives, initiatives, and results within your company in a clear and efficient manner, boosting productivity and increasing alignment within your teams.

Review from G2

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
