- Download the Pivot app from the Apple or Android app store.
-
Open the app and select “I Have Login Info” to enter the Company ID, User ID, and password that you were given by your company. Keep in mind that login information is case-sensitive. You should have to log in only once, but keep your login information where you can find it in case you are inadvertently logged out.
-
The first time you perform the test, you will be presented with instructions describing how the test proceeds. You can read the instructions as many times upon beginning the test as you like, then you can tap “Don’t show me again” to pass the screen and prevent it from displaying when returning to the app later.
-
Once started, the Pivot test takes 60 to 90 seconds to complete. Both speed and accuracy are being measured, so don’t take too long on any one screen. If you make too many mistakes, the test may require you to start over. But don’t worry if you struggle with the test at first! The more you take the test, the more you’ll get used to it—and the smarter Pivot will get.
-
At the end of the test, you will see your score record. A dash will appear in place of your score until you achieve a baseline, or your individual average performance, which typically takes 10 completed tests.
-
Once Pivot has established your baseline, there may be occasions where you score too low, or even too high, and the system may prompt you to take the test a second time. If you score abnormally on the second test, Pivot will notify the designated person at your company, suggesting that he or she have a conversation with you to ensure that you are okay to work.
