skill test

Ability verification exam

A skill test is an assessment designed to measure a person's ability to perform specific tasks or demonstrate competence in a particular area.

Unlike knowledge tests that check what you know, skill tests evaluate what you can do: The job application included a typing skill test.

They appear in hiring processes, educational settings, and professional certifications.
