About this practice suite
This suite prepares candidates for contact-centre multitasking selection in the sales, marketing, customer service, and contact centres sector with 5 skill areas: multitasking and monitoring, customer-service judgment, situational judgment, attention and concentration and planning and scheduling exercises. Every question was written by Novus editors for this suite (none are taken from live or leaked exams), and the full bank holds 52 scored questions across three modes, plus 8 reserve questions used to vary repeat attempts. Answer keys never ship to the browser: your answers are scored server-side, and results stay on your device.
Skills this suite practises
- Multitasking and monitoring: Tracking multiple streams, priorities, alerts, and changing conditions.
- Customer-service judgment: Service recovery, communication, escalation, and policy application.
- Situational judgment: Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
- Attention and concentration: Sustained focus, selective attention, and accuracy under time pressure.
- Planning and scheduling exercises: Resources, dependencies, deadlines, constraints, and contingency planning.
Sample questions from the guided bank
Two of the 10 guided-practice questions, shown exactly as they appear in a session. Answers and explanations are not printed here, because keys stay on the server. Open guided practice to answer them and see how you did.
Voice queue SLA is 80/20; chat SLA is 60s first response. When both breach simultaneously, educational priority usually weighs:
- A. Whichever screen was opened last
- B. Always chat first because it feels faster
- C. Severity/customer impact plus which channel is farthest past SLA: not habit alone
- D. Ignore SLAs and clear personal email
You are mid-wrap on a complex billing call; a VIP chat pings and email #47 ages past SLA. Best?
- A. Abandon wrap without notes so history is blank
- B. Answer VIP while still talking to the billing customer
- C. Close all tickets as resolved without contact
- D. Finish a tight, accurate wrap, park email with a visible note, and take the VIP with context ready
Practice modes and timing
Guided practice is untimed-feeling and instructional; the mini-test is a short timed check; the full simulation mirrors a complete sitting. All three draw on separate question sets, so moving up a mode never repeats what you practised.

|---|---|---|---|
| Guided practice | 10 | 15 minutes | Open |
| Timed mini-test | 12 | 18 minutes | Open |
