IT Fitness Test

is the largest and most comprehensive test of ICT skills in Slovakia, with over 300,000 respondents over the last 10 years. This year its official and certified part took place separately in all countries of the Visegrad Group from April until 31 July. It is a verified way of measuring digital literacy that gives a real picture of the tested respondent’s IT skills level. Testing is focused mainly on students of primary and secondary schools to evaluate their readiness for further study or employment. In addition, successful test takers advance to a drawing for the grand prize - an Xbox Series X - and dozens of other great prizes. The IT Fitness Test also remains suitable for teachers of any schools and grades and is available for everyone free of charge.

Visegrad Fund

"Thanks to the support of the Visegrad Fund, the Slovak National Coalition for Digital Skills and Jobs has been joined by its Visegrad Countries partners to introduce a new project, IT Fitness Test 2022 V4 – a public free online test of digital Skills for the Visegrad Group Countries."

Respondents

testing does not need to undergo any training to run the IT Fitness Test. It is up to each respondent how they deal with the test. The possibility of cheating during testing is minimized. The test requires approximately 45 to 60 minutes of concentration for older primary school students (20 tasks) and about 60 minutes or more for senior students, teachers, and other respondents (25 tasks). However, the time given for the test itself is not limited. Respondents are expected to use any resources and tools from the Internet to complete the test. This method of testing allows ambitious students to learn something new during testing and to focus on properly understanding each issue.

Motivation

of students participating in the testing and achieving good results will be supported by a contest and attractive prizes. Schools are also expected to be careful to show sufficient digital skills of their students.
