About the Level Test
If you would like to do translation work at Conyac, please take the “level test” to see where your translation level is at.
At Conyac, there are 5 different translation level status, and the type of jobs available as well as the reward amount differs depending on the level.
Some job offers cannot be accepted unless you have passed the level test, and since those who have passed the test are more likely to be hired, chances of receiving job offers become high. Large scale jobs with high rewards especially have a tendency to give priority to those who have received high status in the level test. Therefore, it is highly recommended to take the level test.
Transactions on the web without meeting face-to-face can make one feel uneasy, but taking the level test to prove your skills becomes a reliable factor for the client when making an offer.
Also, since you can get useful advice from Conyac level test reviewers, taking and passing the level test not only heightens your skills, but it is the first step towards receiving more jobs.
