Start with these three
Typing testSpeed and accuracy tests in the formats BPO, chat-support and clerical screenings use.
Business writing testWrite a customer reply or work email to a scenario; checked against the parts screenings look for.
Python testA 10-question test on lists, dicts, slicing, exceptions and files, with every answer explained.
How screening usually works here
- Chat-support screenings check typing speed and a short written reply; take the typing test, then the business-writing test.
- Data-entry roles expect the 8,000 KPH benchmark and sometimes an Excel quiz.
- Junior developer roles start with a code-reading quiz like the Python and SQL tests here.
- Be alert to fee-based 'job registrations'; no real employer charges you to apply.

Pay and listings
Pay for online roles varies widely by employer, client country and skill level. The salary calculator shows illustrative ranges in NGN with the method behind them.
Any offer that asks for a registration, training or verification fee is a scam.
