Practice tasks with objective checks
Choose one of three fictional work-sample tasks, read the objective checks before you start, do the work in the browser and run the checks; a wrong answer is reported as wrong, with the reason. A separate judgement rubric covers what no check can score, such as tone. The tool then writes an honest description of the practice, naming the help you used and stating that it was practice on fictional material, not employment, a certificate or an employer's assessment.

Use the tool
Reconcile two fictional ledgers (version 1.0)
You receive two synthetic lists of payments (a bank export and an invoice register) for a fictional company. Find every mismatch: amounts that differ, invoices with no payment, payments with no invoice. Report them in a short table and state the net difference.
Objective checks (read these before you start)
- Every mismatched pair is listed (by id)
- No matched pair is listed as a mismatch
- The net difference equals the sum of the listed differences
The two lists are provided as plain text and CSV; a screen-reader user can complete the task in a spreadsheet or by hand.
A practice exercise on invented data. It does not certify bookkeeping competence or any qualification.
The two fictional lists
| ID | Amount |
|---|---|
| INV-1038 | £125.00 |
| INV-1039 | £48.00 |
| INV-1040 | £99.01 |
| PAY-1046 | £20.00 |
| ID | Amount |
|---|---|
| INV-1038 | £125.00 |
| INV-1039 | £48.00 |
| INV-1040 | £99.00 |
| INV-1041 | £31.00 |
How it works
- Each task is versioned and its checks are deterministic: the reconciliation compares your mismatches and net difference with the known answer, the rota checker tests hours, qualifications, availability and rest, and the reply checker looks for forbidden promises and the required content.
- Parameterised variants change the ids and amounts but keep what is assessed, so a variant is not a different test.
- The judgement rubric is labelled as judgement and never turned into a score.
- Work samples mirror job tasks, the approach the US Office of Personnel Management describes for work-sample tests; these tasks are Luceria's own fictional versions, not any employer's test.
What it does not do
Practice on invented material. It does not certify competence, imply employment or match any employer's live assessment, and it is not preparation for a specific employer's test questions.

Worked example
Illustrative example with invented details, not a real person’s result.
The reconciliation task, variant 1: inputs
- Bank export and invoice register for a fictional company: one amount differs by a penny, one payment has no invoice, one invoice has no payment.
- Answer: the three ids ticked and a net difference of −£10.99; help used: none.
What the tool shows
- All three objective checks pass; the rubric questions remain for the person to judge.
- A description such as: practice task (reconcile two fictional ledgers, version 1.0): all objective checks passed; assistance used: none; a self-directed practice exercise on fictional material, not employment, certification or an employer-sponsored assessment.
Every task is fictional and loads on the page.
How to use it well
- Pick the task closest to the work you are applying for and read its objective checks first.
- Do the task; use the plain-text or CSV versions if that suits you better.
- Run the checks, fix what they report and run them again.
- Copy the honest description and turn it into a resume line with the bullet workbench.
Common questions
Is passing these checks a qualification?
No. It shows you completed a fictional practice task correctly. Describe it as practice.
Are these an employer's real test questions?
No. They are Luceria's own fictional tasks. Employers' live assessments are their own and are not reproduced here.
Can I say I used AI?
Yes, and the description includes it if you choose that option. Do not use AI in an employer's live assessment where its rules forbid it.
