IBM PL/I Online Test

PL/I (Programming Language One) is an IBM system programming language designed for scientific, engineering, business, and system programming uses. PL/I is a third-generation (3GL) programming language developed in the early 1960s as an alternative to assembler language.

The Online PL/I Test helps recruiters & hiring managers to determine whether the candidate is skilled enough to work as a PL/I programmer. The test is created & validated by global Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to assess the skills of a PL1 developer as per industry standards.

The focus of the test is to identify potential PL1 developers by evaluating working skills and job readiness of the applicants. Therefore, an emphasis is laid upon evaluating the knowledge of applied skills gained through real work experience, rather than theoretical knowledge. Since the test can be conducted online & features like online proctoring, windows violation records make the screening secure, the candidate can appear for the IBM PL/I skill test from anywhere as per their convenience.

It helps eliminate the needs of infrastructure & travel reimbursement. Our hiring analytics provide a detailed analysis of skills-related strengths & weaknesses of the candidates to facilitate the right hiring decisions.
