TestTaker is an online software service for assessing subject area knowledge levels. These assessments can be utilized to prepare users for professional certifications, technical interviews, and career/role changes. At the core of TestTaker exists a vast knowledge base of questions which are constantly being analyzed, modified, and augmented. The questions are cycled through subject based collections which are referred to as "Guides". Guides are designed to focus on certification qualifications (i.e., Certification Guides), on career/role qualifications (i.e., Skill Guides), or on customized interview assessments (i.e., Hiring Guides).
When you purchase TestTaker Certification or Skill Guides, you are purchasing a subscription to access one or more Guides for the purposes of assessment and/or learning. When you purchase a TestTaker Hiring Guide, you are purchasing a subscription to assess prospective employment candidates.
One of the key advantages of TestTaker is the constant cycling and mutations of the knowledge base. This discourages user memorization and encourages unbiased assessment and learning. TestTaker employs a community of highly skilled and experienced individuals for the sole purpose of fluctuating and augmenting the knowledge base.

Why was TestTaker developed?
TestTaker grew from an internal, perpetual need to accurately and uniformly assess the skill sets of candidates for consulting positions and to gauge the level of expertise with particular skills. Over time the knowledge base grew as well as the dependency on the knowledge base. Additionally, the collection of responses to questions in the knowledge base became increasingly valuable as a feedback loop to assess the weight of a particular question. Lastly, an engine was built to interact with the knowledge base. This worked so well for internal use that in 2008 we decided to make it available to everyone.
