Instant score, answer review and weak-topic diagnosis
The Public Service Commission of Canada uses the Test of Judgement to staff officer-level positions: the unsupervised 376 online (52 questions in 90 minutes) and the supervised 377 in person (40 questions in 60 minutes). 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. Practise exactly that in 12 sets across the six kinds of work situation the PSC describes, then a full 40-question, 60-minute mock, with every rating explained.
Every situation rated blind by three independent reviewers, each within one point of our rating on every response, before it went in. Your practice score compares your ratings with ours, by theme; it is not a prediction of your PSC level.
One question per response, on the six-point scale
The PSC's sample question asks the same thing of every response: how effective is it? Here each situation has four responses, and each response is one question with the six points as the choices:
- 1Very ineffective
- 2Ineffective
- 3Somewhat ineffective
- 4Somewhat effective
- 5Effective
- 6Very effective
After you answer, the explanation gives our rating, why that response earns it, and why the ratings one point above and below fit less well, plus a one-line lesson for the situation. We mark the closest rating as correct; the real test may give partial credit for near answers. So a near miss here shows you what to adjust, not a wrong answer in the real test.
Six kinds of situation, judged by the public service values
The PSC describes the situations as ones that involve communication, interpersonal skills, initiative, decision making, analytical thinking and action management. Two sets practise each; the mock mixes them. Every explanation ties back to the values in Treasury Board's Values and Ethics Code for the Public Sector: Respect for Democracy, Respect for People, Integrity, Stewardship, Excellence.
What you get
- 12 sets of 3 situations (12 ratings each), two per theme, each on a 21-minute clock: the pace of the 376 (52 questions in 90 minutes).
- A full timed mock: 10 new situations, 40 ratings in 60 minutes, the length and time of the supervised 377 (40 questions in 60 minutes).
- Every response rated and explained, tied to the public service values, with a one-line lesson per situation.
- Your score by theme after each set, with the time you spent on each question.
- 47 original practice situations. All are made up; none is a PSC test item.
Many officer-level processes also use the PSC's General Competency Test: Level 2. See the GCT2 practice test →

Is this the PSEE?
The Test of Judgement was part of the Public Service Entrance Exam suite, and many people still call it the PSEE. Since 22 July 2025 the unsupervised version is the 376 (it replaced the 374), and the supervised version is the 377. This practice follows the format both pages show in their sample question.
Are these real PSC questions?
No. Every situation is original. The format follows the PSC's own published sample question, and the explanations use the public Values and Ethics Code for the Public Sector.
376 or 377: which one will I take?
The hiring organization decides. It can screen with the unsupervised 376 and then confirm with the supervised 377 or its own assessment of judgement before an appointment, or use the 377 alone. Your invitation says which. See the PSC's Understanding the Test of Judgement.
Is a practice score a prediction?
No. The PSC reports a level from J-01 to J-10 against previous test takers, and each hiring organization sets its pass mark between J-02 and J-07. Your practice score only compares your ratings with ours, by theme, so you can see where to think again. We mark the closest rating as correct; the real test may give partial credit for near answers.
Can I also try the official sample test?
Yes. The PSC offers a free 376 sample test on its Candidate Assessment Tool to get used to the testing environment; see the 376 page.
How do I pay and get access?
One payment by card (or PayPal where offered), handled by our payment provider. In Canada the price is charged in Canadian dollars; in other countries in your own currency where we support it, otherwise in Indian rupees with the local figure shown as an estimate.
