try-outs
Tests for selection
Try-outs are competitive tests to determine who makes a team, gets a role, or qualifies for a position.
Athletes attend try-outs for sports teams; actors attend them for plays or films.
The process involves demonstrating skill before evaluators who select the best candidates: Cheerleading try-outs are next week.
Also spelled as one word: tryouts.
