TT Clerical Entrance case studies
TT Clerical Entrance · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The TT Clerical Entrance examination is a screening test used to judge whether a candidate has the basic office skills expected of an entry-level clerical worker: correct English, accurate arithmetic, careful reading, and the filing and checking habits that keep a records office running. It is typically taken by school leavers and career changers applying for clerical, records, reception and junior administrative posts, and by anyone who wants a measurable benchmark of basic office competence. The paper is multiple choice and is built around six areas: grammar and sentence structure, spelling and vocabulary, reading comprehension, numerical computation and arithmetic reasoning, clerical aptitude (alphabetical filing, checking and coding), and general knowledge with office practice. Because the two largest components are numerical and clerical aptitude, candidates who revise only English tend to underperform. The TT Clerical Entrance case studies are 5 cases and about 3,704 words.
