Canada Public Service Test of Judgement (PSEE 376/377)

The Test of Judgement is the Public Service Commission of Canada test used to staff officer-level positions in the federal public service; many candidates still know it from the Public Service Entrance Exam (PSEE) suite. It comes in two versions. The Unsupervised Test of Judgement 376 is taken online, wherever you have a computer and an internet connection: 52 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes. The Supervised Test of Judgement 377 is taken in person at a federal government building: 40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes. A hiring organization can use the 376 to screen a large applicant pool and then confirm results with the 377 or its own assessment of judgement before an appointment, or use the 377 alone. In the PSC's sample question you read a work situation and rate how effective each response is, from (1) Very ineffective to (6) Very effective. No specialized training, knowledge or experience is required. Results are given as a level from J-01 to J-10 compared with previous test takers, each hiring organization sets its pass mark between J-02 and J-07, and there is a 180-day wait before a retest. Since 22 July 2025 the 376 has replaced the older unsupervised 374.
