Popular Post mjensen415 Posted September 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi Everyone,I’m excited to announce a new feature for sellers. As part of our ongoing efforts to increase overall marketplace quality, we will begin offering the opportunity to take skills tests to verify seller skills. Skills tests will not be mandatory, but are an opportunity to increase buyer trust by proving your skills in the subcategories in which you offer services.We’ve been rolling out the skills tests in the Translation subcategory over the past few weeks, but starting today, a small sample of sellers will be able to test in over 400+ skills! We will be gradually opening up this feature to all sellers over the coming weeks.Once your account is active with the skills test feature, it’s easy to get started:To take a skill test:Go to fiverr.com/my_profileIn your profile card, click Take Tests on the left pane.Select a Skill Test to take.https://sellers.fiverr.com/en/article/taking-a-skill-testAgain, you do not have to take these tests. They are 100% optional. However, taking a test is a great way to prove your aptitude and earn a new buyers’ trust—and to keep your skills sharp!As a seller, you have the option to show or hide your score to Fiverr buyers. Should you choose to share your skill test results, users will see various details such as your score, time spent, results by topic, and more.If you don’t pass the test the first time, don’t panic! You can retake the test after 24 hours and up to two times in a 3-month period. Hopefully taking the test provides an opportunity to brush up on your skills and continue to hone your expertise.Have questions about the skills test? Please leave a comment below. 221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kha1ed Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Why I have a strong feeling that these exams will cost money in the near future? Or maybe it will be used in the promotion process. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kha1ed Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Beside, users can let their professional friends to do these tests on their behalf, or even they can buy “applying test” service for $5 on other platforms. My question is, how can you control that? 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is, how can you control that?Of course, there are always bad apples out there that will try to scam and cheat the tests. There are precautions built into the test platform to help minimize those who would look to cheat the test. Clearly, there are ways around it, but then a seller would be violating our Terms of Service, thus compromising their account.These tests are 100% free. 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdata Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 As we all foresaw, fiverr become more like its competitor freelancing site.Next move I guess will be ‘bid’ or need to write proposal for an order? Let’s see. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lyrics don’t make her tap her feet to the beat, you fail. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk1000 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 So once the feature is rolled out to everyone (I don’t have it yet), will we only be able to take tests in the categories in which we have gigs, and if so, why can’t we do the tests in any of the categories where there are tests? That way it would help us decide whether to create a gig in a category we don’t currently have a gig in (it would help show which categories we are best at even if we don’t have a gig in those categories yet). 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwaruna Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I think there should be some kind of skill tests on fiverr like other freelancer websites. It will create differentiation between quality sellers and low skill sellers who create price wars and spoil experience of buyers. As In my opinion they do not have much knowledge therefore they keep trying and when they are not able to get orders they create low price gigs, moreover their gig discription is also copy of some high selling gig’s discription. Like the post if you are in support of this. Suggestion Done:hugs: 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongre_sudhir Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Great idea. There will be opportunity for new sellers to prove there ability & it may be helpful for winning first order. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedayetsaadi556 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Will these tests really increase buyer’s trust? Don’t they know that test questions are limited and almost same all the time and the answers are available on internet. Test takers don’t have to actually be skilled to pass the test. They will just google and find the answer. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
