Indeed Assessments: Current Status, Scores and Practice Alternatives

Indeed has discontinued Assessments, the skills-test feature that let job seekers complete short tests and let employers request candidate skills tests through Indeed. According to Indeed’s own Job Seeker Help Center, this change applies globally, and Indeed is not replacing the assessment tool with another one. If you searched for this page hoping to practice an active “Indeed Assessment,” the most current, verifiable answer is that the product itself has been retired, not merely paused for one employer or one region.

This page explains what Indeed has published about the discontinuation, what it means for scores that already exist on candidate profiles, and what general skills practice can still help with now that the tests are gone. It also includes 24 original practice exercises covering common workplace skill areas.

The 24 exercises on this page are original general skills practice items. They are not Indeed questions, do not reproduce any Indeed assessment, and are not affiliated with Indeed in any way.

Practice numerical reasoning on AptitudeTests.org

AptitudeTests.org is an independent preparation platform operated by TestsCareers. It is not Indeed and does not offer Indeed simulations. Its packs are supplemental skill practice for candidates who still want structured practice after Indeed Assessments ended.

Quick Facts: Indeed Assessments Status

Question	Current answer
Are Indeed Assessments still available?	No. Indeed’s Help Center describes them as discontinued globally.
Is there a replacement tool from Indeed?	Not at the time of Indeed’s announcement. Indeed stated it was not replacing the tool with another one.
Can employers still request a skills test through Indeed?	No, according to Indeed’s product update, employers will no longer be able to request skills tests through this feature.
Will old scores still show on a candidate’s profile?	Indeed’s update states that profiles will no longer display current and past assessment scores.
Can you still take a new Indeed skills test?	No. Self-serve and employer-requested assessments were both discontinued.
Why did Indeed make this change?	Indeed cited feedback that the skills tests added confusion and extra steps for job seekers and employers.
Is this guide affiliated with Indeed?	No. This page is independent third-party information and general skills practice, not an Indeed product.

Treat the table above as a summary. Always confirm the current state of your own Indeed profile and any employer communication directly, since candidate-facing product changes can continue to evolve after this page is published.

What Happened to Indeed Assessments?

Indeed operated a feature commonly called Indeed Assessments (also referred to in Indeed’s own materials as skills tests). It had two main paths:

• Self-serve assessments, which job seekers could take voluntarily to add a score to their profile.
• Employer-requested assessments, which an employer could send to a candidate as part of a specific application.

Indeed published a Job Seeker Help Center article titled “Product Update: Indeed is Discontinuing Assessments.” Based on the text of that article, Indeed stated that, beginning in October, skills tests would no longer be offered, that this covers both self-serve and employer-requested assessments, and that Indeed was not replacing the assessment tool with another one at that time. Multiple independent reports describe this announcement as occurring in October 2024, with the feature being phased out afterward. This page treats the underlying fact, that Assessments have been discontinued, as confirmed by Indeed’s own Help Center, while treating the specific year as reported consistently by secondary sources rather than something restated verbatim inside the article snippet reviewed for this page. If the exact rollout date matters for your situation, check Indeed’s current Help Center article directly, since Indeed may update or archive the page over time.

Indeed’s article also described the practical effects for job seekers, including that employers would no longer ask candidates to take a skills test through Indeed, that any related requirement attached to a saved job would be removed, and that profiles would no longer display current and past assessments.

Why Did Indeed Discontinue Assessments?

Indeed’s own explanation, as described in its Help Center article, centers on user experience rather than a single technical failure. Indeed indicated that:

• both job seekers and employers found value in the assessments;
• Indeed also received feedback that the skills tests added confusion and extra steps for everyone in the application flow;
• faced with that tradeoff, Indeed decided to discontinue assessments globally rather than keep a feature that created friction for a large share of users.

This is Indeed’s own stated rationale. It is not a judgment about whether skills testing in general is useful. Many employers and other platforms continue to use skills assessments as part of hiring; Indeed’s decision reflects choices about its own product, not a verified industrywide trend.

What Happened to Existing Assessment Scores?

If you completed Indeed Assessments before the discontinuation, the safest assumption is that any score display on your Indeed profile is being removed as part of this change, based on Indeed’s own description that profiles would no longer show current and past assessments. Some third-party guides published around the same period suggested downloading or screenshotting any scores you wanted to keep a personal record of, since a removed feature typically cannot be restored on demand. If preserving a specific historical score matters to you, checking your own account directly and exporting or documenting anything still visible is more reliable than relying on any outside description, including this one.

Do not assume that a screenshot of an old Indeed score will carry independent verification weight with a new employer, since the underlying test is no longer active and cannot be re-verified by the employer through Indeed.

Indeed Assessment Score Levels: Historical Context

The details in this section come from third-party job-search guides describing how Indeed’s scoring worked while the feature was active, not from a primary Indeed page reviewed in full for this article. Treat this as historical context to help you interpret older screenshots, resumes, or LinkedIn posts that mention Indeed scores, and verify any specific detail directly with Indeed’s Help Center if it still matters to you.

According to that secondary reporting:

• Indeed’s assessments reportedly used a scoring scale that, at an earlier point, included multiple tiers such as Expert, Highly Proficient, Proficient, Familiar, and Completed.
• Later reporting describes Indeed simplifying this to two outcomes for many assessments: Proficient, meaning the candidate met Indeed’s threshold for the skill, and Completed, meaning the candidate finished the test without meeting that threshold.
• Some assessments could also show an Incomplete status if a candidate started a test and did not finish it.

Because these details are drawn from aggregator and career-advice sites rather than a primary source page this article could fully verify, do not treat the exact tier names, thresholds, or timing as certain. If an employer or older Indeed material references a scoring label you do not recognize, ask the employer directly rather than assuming any secondary description is complete.

Were Indeed Assessment Scores Shareable Between Employers?

While the feature was active, some third-party guides described Indeed scores as tied to the candidate’s profile for a period of time, with the ability to reuse a previous score if a different employer requested the same assessment again, and an option to hide a score from a profile view. Because the assessment system itself has now been discontinued, none of this sharing or visibility behavior is relevant going forward for new applications. Any assessment-sharing description you find elsewhere online should be read as historical, describing how the retired feature used to work, not as guidance for a current Indeed workflow.

Was There a Passing Score?

Indeed’s own Help Center materials, as summarized in this article, do not establish a single universal “passing score” that applied the same way to every assessment and every employer. Whether a given result was strong enough for a specific role depended on the employer’s own expectations and how they used your result, not on a fixed number published by Indeed. Since the assessments are discontinued, this question is now most relevant only for interpreting historical scores that may still appear on a resume, application, or professional profile.

What Should Job Seekers Do Now That Assessments Are Gone?

Because Indeed will no longer ask you to complete a skills test through its own platform, and will no longer display current or past scores, focus your energy on ways to demonstrate skills that do not depend on that retired feature:

• Use your resume and application materials to describe specific, concrete examples of the skills a job requires, rather than relying on a badge or score.
• If an employer uses its own third-party assessment platform (separate from Indeed), prepare for that platform directly rather than assuming Indeed’s old format still applies.
• Keep a personal record of any skills you validated elsewhere, such as certifications, coursework, or work samples, since Indeed’s own scoring history is being removed from your profile.
• Use general skills practice, such as the original exercises later on this page, to refresh core abilities like accuracy, numerical reasoning, written communication, customer service judgment, everyday office tasks, and workplace judgment, since these areas remain broadly relevant across employers regardless of which specific assessment platform, if any, an employer uses.

How to Show Skills on Indeed Without an Assessment

With the assessment feature discontinued, your Indeed profile itself becomes even more important for communicating skills in writing. Consider:

• writing role-specific bullet points in your work history that name concrete tools, tasks, and outcomes;
• adding a skills section that lists specific, verifiable skills rather than vague traits;
• linking to a portfolio, certification, or work sample where relevant to the role;
• keeping your profile summary aligned with the specific jobs you are applying to, since Indeed’s search and matching still rely heavily on how you describe your own experience.

None of this restores the old score badges, but it addresses the same underlying goal, letting an employer quickly understand what you can do.

Where to Go for More Structured Practice

If you want deeper, timed practice in a specific reasoning area, general skills practice resources can help you build speed and consistency:

• For percentage, ratio, and data-table style questions like the ones in the numerical skills section above, continue with the AptitudeTests.org numerical reasoning practice linked near the top of this page.
• For sentence-level accuracy, comprehension, and vocabulary questions like the ones in the verbal and written communication section above, AptitudeTests.org’s verbal reasoning practice covers similar skills such as comprehension, synonyms, and sentence logic.

AptitudeTests.org is an independent preparation resource. It is not Indeed, is not endorsed by Indeed, and its packs are general skills practice for candidates who still want structured practice now that Indeed’s own assessment tool has been discontinued, not a recreation of any Indeed test.

For office and clerical-style tasks specifically, the site’s own Clerical Skills Test guide and Microsoft Office Assessment guide go deeper into filing, data checking, and everyday Office tasks. For customer-facing scenarios, see the Customer Service Skills Test guide and the Situational Judgment Test guide.

7-Day General Skills Refresh Plan

This is an informal, unofficial study plan, not an Indeed requirement or timeline.

• Day 1: Review attention-to-detail and numerical skills, and note which task types feel slowest for you.
• Day 2: Work through structured numerical reasoning practice to build speed with percentages, ratios, and tables.
• Day 3: Review the verbal and written communication questions, focusing on tone and clarity in workplace writing.
• Day 4: Work through structured verbal reasoning practice for comprehension and vocabulary.
• Day 5: Review the customer service judgment and workplace judgment questions, and write out your own reasoning for each answer in your own words.
• Day 6: Review the office and computer skills questions, and practice the same tasks (formulas, file naming, email fields) in your own tools.
• Day 7: Redo all 24 questions from memory, without looking at the answers first, then compare your reasoning to the explanations above.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Assuming an old Indeed score is still visible or verifiable to a new employer after the discontinuation.
• Waiting to save or document a past score instead of checking your account promptly if a historical record still matters to you.
• Treating this page’s practice questions as official Indeed content; they are original general skills exercises only.
• Assuming every employer’s own assessment platform works the same way Indeed’s retired tool did.
• Skipping general skills refreshers just because one specific platform’s testing feature is gone; the underlying skills are still broadly relevant to hiring.
