    A copy of a diploma is generally considered acceptable documentation to verify high school graduation. This is because a diploma is an official certificate awarded to a student upon successfully completing their high school education. It serves as proof that the individual has met all the necessary requirements and has officially graduated from high school. Therefore, a copy of the diploma can be used as evidence to verify high school graduation.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) does indeed regulate the use of consumer report information and other background information obtained from consumer reporting agencies. This act ensures that individuals' personal information is protected and that it is used responsibly by businesses and other entities.

    • Consumer Verification Report

    Correct Answer
    A. Investigative Consumer Report
    Explanation
    According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), an investigative consumer report is a background report that includes information based on personal reference interviews. This type of report goes beyond the typical consumer report and involves gathering additional information through interviews with personal references or acquaintances of the consumer. It is used for evaluating a consumer's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is "Investigative Consumer Report."

This step is crucial to verify that the case is now ready to be sent back to QA for further processing. Simply assuming that the case has been sufficiently corrected without checking it can lead to potential errors or misunderstandings. Therefore, it is necessary to review the corrections made before proceeding with sending the case back to QA.

    • 5

    • 7

    • 10

    • 15

    Correct Answer

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False

    The statement is false because the question implies that you can email as many personal emails as you like as long as the recipient works at GIS. However, there could be limitations or policies in place regarding the use of personal emails at GIS, such as restrictions on sending personal emails during work hours or using company resources for personal communication. Therefore, the statement is not accurate and the answer is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What is generally considered acceptable documentation to verify employment when the employer cannot be contacted

    • Verbal confirmation from the applicant

    • Coffee mug with previous employers logo

    • W-2

    • D. Letter head with the previous employers name

    Correct Answer
    A. W-2
    Explanation
    The W-2 form is generally considered acceptable documentation to verify employment when the employer cannot be contacted. This form is issued by employers to their employees and contains information about their wages and taxes withheld. It serves as proof of employment and income, making it a reliable document for verification purposes. Verbal confirmation from the applicant may not be reliable as it can be easily manipulated, while a coffee mug with a previous employer's logo or a letterhead with the previous employer's name do not provide sufficient evidence of employment.

    Every MVR should have a license status?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Every MVR (Motor Vehicle Record) should have a license status because the license status indicates whether a person's driver's license is valid, suspended, revoked, or expired. This information is important for determining if a person is legally allowed to drive and can impact their eligibility for certain activities, such as obtaining auto insurance or employment that requires driving. Without a license status, it would be difficult to assess a person's driving privileges and make informed decisions based on that information.

    • Fred Can Run Allday

    • Fair Credit Reporting Act

    • Federal Consumer Reporting Act

    • Federal Credit Reporting Act

    Correct Answer
    A. Fair Credit Reporting Act
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Fair Credit Reporting Act." The FCRA is a federal law that regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer credit information.

    It is acceptable to display driving history information in the background report that does not belong to the subject of the report.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The driving history information in a background report should only pertain to the subject of the report. Including information that does not belong to the subject would be inaccurate and potentially misleading. Therefore, it is not acceptable to display driving history information in the background report that does not belong to the subject.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    I can have as many absences as I choose as long as I use my ATO.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Using ATO (Annual Time Off) does not give someone the freedom to have as many absences as they choose. ATO is typically a set amount of time off that an employee is granted by their employer, and it usually has limitations and guidelines. While an employee may have some flexibility in how they use their ATO, there are typically restrictions and requirements in place, such as needing to request time off in advance or having a maximum number of days allowed for ATO. Therefore, the statement that one can have as many absences as they choose as long as they use their ATO is false.

    Rate this question:

    • Reseller

    • Consumer Reporting Agency

    • Furnisher of Information

    • End User

    Correct Answer
    A. Furnisher of Information
    Explanation
    The Student Clearing House is considered a "Furnisher of Information" because it provides education-related data, such as degrees earned and dates attended, to other entities. This term is often used in the context of credit reporting, where information furnishers supply data to consumer reporting agencies. In this case, the Student Clearing House acts as a provider of educational information to colleges, universities, and other organizations that require this data for various purposes.

  • 30. 

    If a "Raw Hit" is located in a Kwikscreen search, the corresponding county or statewide history search should be conducted to verify the hit.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a "Raw Hit" is found in a Kwikscreen search, it is recommended to conduct a county or statewide history search to confirm the hit. This means that simply finding a hit in the Kwikscreen search is not enough to establish its accuracy or validity. Therefore, conducting a further search in the corresponding county or statewide history is necessary to verify the hit.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. QA Team Members
    A. QA Team Lead
    A. QA Supervisor

These individuals are part of the QA team and are responsible for ensuring the quality of the product or service. They have the knowledge and expertise to provide the necessary clarifications and address any questions or concerns you may have. The Account Manager may not have the technical knowledge to answer your specific questions, and entering a Cherwell ticket is more appropriate for reporting issues or requesting assistance rather than seeking clarifications.

    Rate this question:

    Documents that contain someone else information such as a case, screen shot, or application should be destroyed by

    • Throwing in my trash can

    • Placing in the shred bin

    • Piling in the middle of the floor and lighting a match to it

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Placing in the shred bin
    Explanation
    Placing in the shred bin is the correct answer because documents that contain someone else's information should be properly disposed of to protect their privacy and prevent identity theft. Throwing them in the trash can or piling them on the floor and lighting a match to them can lead to unauthorized access to personal information. Using a shred bin ensures that the documents are securely destroyed and reduces the risk of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands.

    If an admitted criminal offense is provided but no matching criminal hit appears in the report, what should QA check for in Watson?

    • The applicant is over the age of 18

    • That a recheck has been performed

    • That John Hanks has approved

    • That crims were ordered timely

    Correct Answer
    A. That a recheck has been performed
    Explanation
    If an admitted criminal offense is provided but no matching criminal hit appears in the report, QA should check for whether a recheck has been performed in Watson. This is because a recheck is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the information and to verify if any criminal records were missed in the initial search.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    All provided and developed names should be researched in a civil litigation search

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is suggesting that all provided and developed names should be researched in a civil litigation search. This means that before finalizing a name for a company, product, or any other entity, it is important to conduct a search to ensure that the name is not involved in any ongoing civil litigation cases. This is necessary to avoid potential legal issues and conflicts in the future. Therefore, the answer "True" indicates that researching names in a civil litigation search is indeed essential.

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    When a drug test status indicates “Expired” you should

    • Always send an e-mail to Scheduling for clarification

    • Only ask for clarification if the account is Manpower

    • Only ask for clarification if the account is not Manpower and the drug test is complete

    • Only ask for clarification if the drug test is awaiting supplements

    Correct Answer
    A. Only ask for clarification if the account is not Manpower and the drug test is complete
    Explanation
    If the drug test status indicates "Expired," you should only ask for clarification if the account is not Manpower and the drug test is complete. This means that if the account is Manpower, you should not ask for clarification, regardless of the drug test status. However, if the account is not Manpower and the drug test is complete, it is necessary to seek clarification.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    When you send a drug test case to Scheduling for clarification and do not receive a response you should:

    • Assume they are still working on the case and forget about it

    • Check the case to see if corrections have been made and the case can be sent back to QA

    • Send a follow-up e-mail to Scheduling after a reasonable period of time has passed

    • Enter a Cherwell ticket to see if IT can fix the problem

    Correct Answer
    A. Send a follow-up e-mail to Scheduling after a reasonable period of time has passed
    Explanation
    If you do not receive a response from Scheduling after sending a drug test case for clarification, it is important to send a follow-up email after a reasonable period of time has passed. This is necessary to ensure that the case is not forgotten and to prompt Scheduling to provide the necessary clarification. Assuming they are still working on the case without any confirmation may lead to delays and miscommunication. Checking the case for corrections and sending a Cherwell ticket to IT are not appropriate actions in this situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    Adjudication Withheld is an example of:

    • A conviction

    • A diversion

    • A dismissed case

    • A pending case

    Correct Answer
    A. A diversion
    Explanation
    Adjudication Withheld is an example of a diversion. Diversion refers to a program or alternative to traditional criminal prosecution, where offenders are given the opportunity to complete certain requirements, such as community service or counseling, instead of going through the court process. Adjudication withheld means that a formal judgment of guilt is not entered, allowing the individual to avoid a conviction if they successfully complete the diversion program. Therefore, adjudication withheld falls under the category of diversion rather than a conviction, dismissed case, or pending case.

    Rate this question:

  • 40. 

    It is acceptable for GIS to mail a verification request to an applicant’s current employer?

    • Always

    • If the applicant says it’s okay

    • Never

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. If the applicant says it’s okay
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "If the applicant says it’s okay". This is because the decision to mail a verification request to an applicant's current employer should be based on the applicant's consent. If the applicant gives permission for their current employer to be contacted, then it is acceptable for GIS to mail a verification request. However, if the applicant does not give consent, it would not be acceptable to proceed with the verification request.

    Explanation
    The statement suggests that GIS automatically develops a Trace Report when requested by the client. However, the correct answer is False, indicating that GIS does not automatically develop a Trace Report when requested by the client. The explanation for this could be that developing a Trace Report requires manual intervention or additional steps that cannot be automated by the GIS system.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation

  • 44. 

    A cap on the number of criminal searched ordered is determined by?

    • The number of locations ordered

    • The number of locations X names ordered

    • The number of names ordered

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. The number of locations X names ordered
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The number of locations X names ordered." This means that the cap on the number of criminal searches that can be ordered is determined by multiplying the number of locations by the number of names ordered. For example, if there are 5 locations and 10 names ordered, the maximum number of criminal searches that can be ordered would be 50 (5 locations X 10 names).

    Correct Answer
    A. If the drug testing partner is not eScreen
    Explanation

    An applicant’s criminal history is general searched for a scope of how many years?

    • 3

    • 7

    • 10

    • Indefinitely

    Correct Answer
    A. 7
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 7. When an applicant's criminal history is searched, it is typically done for a scope of 7 years. This means that most background checks will only include criminal records from the past 7 years. This time frame is commonly used because it aligns with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) guidelines, which state that non-conviction records cannot be reported after 7 years. Therefore, employers and organizations usually focus on the most recent 7 years of an applicant's criminal history to make informed decisions.
