After your first interview, the company administers a test to determine whether you will advance. You finish the test and feel helpless. What should you do?

• There's no way to beat a test. Just trust the company to interpret it properly.

• If you think you did poorly, ask to take it again on another day.

• Talk to the hiring manager to balance the influence of the test.

• Ask the company to give you the results before you attend another interview.
