The test associated with the GPI consists of 10 questions. The maximum score on the test is 10 points and 8 points give a positive result.
Two question formats are used in the test:
Multiple choice questions
With this question type, the candidate must choose the correct answer from a number of alternatives. Each multiple choice question scores 1 or 0 points.
Multiple Answer Questions
With this question type, the candidate must choose one or more correct answers from a number of alternatives. It is not indicated how many answers must be selected.
The maximum score for each multiple-answer question is 1 point; each correct answer yields a portion of the maximum score and for each incorrect answer a portion of the maximum score is subtracted. The minimum score is 0 points, so the candidate can never score negatively on this type of question.

If you click on the slide next to the text 'Show scores', you can see the number of points obtained and where the points could be obtained. An answer that should have been ticked (but was not) will have a score of 0 and a red frame around the score and feedback.
Once your invitation has expired, you will no longer be able to use it. The corresponding GPI credit will then be returned to your employer. The invitation is sent by our system when your employer requests it. We cannot do this for you. Ask your company's GPI business administrator or your supervisor if you can get a new invitation.
