US Testing Center — one year, up to three tests

Use the included year of US Testing Center access when preparation fits your next step. It is part of every package; there is no separate upgrade to choose.

Score verification

After the 50 questions, the person receives a score verification. A prospective employer uses the shared code to check the result and does not see the person's name or contact information. The score is the person's answers. Maximum 110. It is not a recommendation and it is not a hire decision.

SumCruncher Daily

Keep daily number practice in your routine with SumCruncher Daily, included in your package.

Testing Center participation is optional. These are preparation and career-exploration tools; they do not award a professional license or guarantee a job.

How long can I use ZIP job search?

ZIP job access lasts two years. Job availability depends on the ZIP entered and current listings.

Is US Testing Center an extra purchase?

No. One year of access is included in every package. Using it is optional.

Can an employer verify my result?

Yes. Share your verification code. The verification page confirms the available result record without displaying your name or contact information. It does not verify your identity.

How do program seats work?

1. Buy the quantity you need

Your volume price appears before payment. After payment clears, open the seat wallet from the confirmation page or buyer email.

2. Share participant links

Assign one seat to each person and keep your name-to-seat roster in your own system. Participants complete the 50-question work-fit assessment.

3. Put the results to work

Participants explore career directions and ZIP jobs. Your office receives a one-page Federal Fit PDF for each completed sitting. Download office PDFs within one year.

Unused seats do not expire. Office PDFs are deleted from our storage after one year; save your copies. Read the data terms. For included-service access assistance, contact participant support.

Is the result a hiring decision?

No. It supports career exploration and human review. It is not a professional qualification, license, job offer, or guarantee of employment.

What if I already purchased?

Your original purchased entitlements remain available. Use existing customer access or contact support.

What is the refund policy?

Read the refund policy before purchase. Starting an assessment affects refund eligibility.

Useful direction for participants. Clear progress for your office.

Appendix. Which form the file matches.

A federal or program seat sits Federal Fit, freeze 2026.08-B-keybalance-v2. The office sample is the one-page Federal Fit file. Its item counts are executive reasoning 9, quantitative 9, verbal 8, visual pattern 8, workplace judgment 8, and procedural sequencing 8. Career Fit, the individual package, is form 2026.08-C: executive reasoning 9, quantitative 8, verbal 8, visual pattern 8, workplace judgment 9, and procedural sequencing 8. The 12-page sample is Hiring Fit on freeze 2026.08-B-keybalance-v2. It is not form 2026.08-C. A hardware record of the Career Fit public file is in the white paper. That record does not score a person. IBM did not endorse the result. The score verification does not name that job.
