In WeCP, credits are a unit of assessment used to evaluate candidates. Credits are consumed based on the type and complexity of questions in a test. Each credit represents a unit of processing required to assess a candidate’s skills, and different types of questions consume varying amounts of credit.

Here's a breakdown of how credits are consumed based on the types of questions used in assessments:

If Assessment Contains

Credit Consumed per Candidate is

Group A

Question types (Knowledge):

Multiple Choice, Multiple Correct, Essay Type, Video, File Upload

1 Credit

Group B

Question types (Hands-on):

Programming (algorithmic) questions, Database questions

2 Credits

Group C

Question types (Job Simulations):

Projects, Data Science questions, DevOps, Machine Learning questions

4 Credits

Group A is Knowledge Assessing Question Types:

These include Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), Multiple Correct Answer (MCA) questions, subjective essay-type responses, video-based responses, and File Upload. If a test has any of these question types then 1 credit is consumed per candidate per test attempt. These are simpler question types, where assessments require fewer system resources, resulting in lower credit consumption.

Group B is Hands-on Assessing Questions Types:

These include algorithmic or general programming questions and database queries that require code execution and evaluation. If a test has any of these question types then 2 credits are consumed per candidate per test attempt. Since these questions require more complex evaluations (such as running code, automatically judging the code for correctness, quality, plagiarism etc), the credit consumption is higher than Group A.

Group C is Job Simulating Question Types:

These include job-simulating tasks such as project-based assessments, data science tasks, DevOps tasks, and machine learning assessments.

If a test has any of these question types, then 4 credits are consumed per candidate per test attempt. These questions involve significant resourcing, simulating the job on browser-based tests and auto processing and auto evaluating them, requiring the highest credit consumption among all groups.

Note:

The highest credit consumption rate is applied if an assessment contains a mix of question types from different groups (e.g., Group A and B). In this case, Group B’s rate of 2 credits per candidate would be used as it exceeds Group A’s rate.
