Pre-valuate Interactive is a software simulation system that is geared toward the testing and training needs of corporate human resources departments. The product evaluates a person’s practical skills on popular Windows- based applications. Each test appears as a realtime use of the software, so the test-taker feels as if they are using the actual application. By using Pre-valuate Interactive’s Events Manager feature, test administrators can get a “play-by-play” review of the steps taken by the user to complete each task. With Pre-valuate Interactive, test administrators assess not only a user’s overall accuracy, but also their efficiency by reviewing the number of steps taken to complete each task.

Drakewize tests are the most comprehensive available, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and providing an accurate gauge of a person’s skills. With the increase in the use of computers in the workplace over the last decade, the ability to quantify a job applicant’s computer skills has become critical to corporate human resources managers and staffing agencies. Now more than ever, Drakewize skills evaluations play a vital role in both hiring and employee training.
