Can You Retake UpWork Tests?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:04 pm

If you’re a freelancer on UpWork, you may be wondering if you can retake tests in order to improve your score and increase your chances of being hired for projects. The answer is yes, you can retake tests on UpWork, but there are a few things to keep in mind.

First of all, when you retake a test, your new score will replace your old score. This means that if you retake a test and get a lower score, it will actually hurt your chances of being hired since your score will have gone down. Therefore, it’s important to only retake tests if you’re confident you can do better the second time around.

PRO TIP: Upwork tests are designed to assess a freelancer’s skills in a specific area. They are not meant to be retake-able, as this would defeat the purpose of the test. If a freelancer is not able to pass a test the first time, they may want to consider finding a different Upwork category that better suits their skills.

Secondly, some clients specifically look for freelancers with high scores on certain tests, so if your score is already quite high, there may not be much point in retaking the test since you’re unlikely to improve your score significantly.

Finally, keep in mind that taking tests takes time and costs money (you have to pay to retake tests), so it’s important to only retake tests if you think it will really benefit you in terms of getting hired for projects.

To sum up, while you can retake tests on UpWork, it’s important to only do so if you’re confident you can improve your score and if it will actually benefit you in terms of getting hired for projects.
