CST - Clerical Skills Test

The Clerical Skills Test (CST) is administered to applicants referred by MDC's Human Resources Department to objectively determine an applicant's clerical skill levels in the areas of typing, measures examinees' ability to read instructions, words, prompts and typing verbatim. The CST reports on the examinees' typing accuracy by counting the correct WPM (words per minute) entered.

For tests not administered by Miami Dade College, arrangements for auxiliary aids and modifications are subject solely to the testing vendors availability and policies. Please visit the test vendors webpage for additional information.
