What the Technology domain tests.

10 scenario-based questions covering the core topics any technology intern encounters on day one — and the logical thinking that separates candidates who flounder from those who thrive.

01

Algorithm & Computational Thinking

Trace code paths, predict output, evaluate efficiency of different approaches.

02

Data Types & Variables

Understand how integers, strings, booleans, and arrays behave in real scenarios.

03

Loops & Conditionals

Read for/while loops and if/else branches — predict what the code outputs.

04

Debugging & Error Analysis

Identify the logic error or syntax mistake in a short code snippet.

05

Software Development Lifecycle

Match tasks (user stories, QA, deployment) to the correct SDLC phase.

06

Cybersecurity Fundamentals

Identify phishing, SQL injection, and other common threat patterns.

07

Networking Basics

Understand DNS, HTTP, IP addresses, and how data travels the internet.

08

UX & Interface Design

Evaluate mockup decisions — which layout better serves the user goal.

09

Technology Tool Selection

Choose the right tool (database, framework, service) for a described problem.

10

Tech Ethics & Digital Citizenship

Navigate GDPR, AI bias, accessibility requirements, and digital wellbeing.

Plus 24 questions across General Aptitude (verbal + numerical reasoning), Workplace Skills (situational judgement), and an Interest Profile to confirm your track fit. See the full assessment breakdown →

Who the Technology track is for.

You don't need a CV full of competitions. You need to demonstrate you can think like a technologist — and that's exactly what this assessment measures.

The self-taught coder

You've built things on your own — Scratch, Python tutorials, game mods, websites. You've never had a formal internship but you know how to solve problems with technology. This assessment gives that self-taught ability a credible, verifiable score.

The GCSE Computer Science student

You're studying (or about to study) Computer Science at GCSE and you want real work experience to complement the theory. The domain questions are pitched at the same conceptual level — scenario-based, not rote recall.

The curious problem-solver

You haven't studied computing formally but you're naturally analytical — you enjoy puzzles, logic games, figuring out how things work. The general aptitude phases were designed with you in mind. Curiosity and reasoning matter here.

All 34 questions, broken down.

Our adaptive assessment adjusts question difficulty in real time. You'll be challenged appropriately at every step — and your report reflects exactly where you excelled.

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need to know how to code to take the Technology track?+
No — the assessment tests computational thinking and logical reasoning, not programming syntax. Students with no coding experience regularly score in the top tier. That said, if you have written any code before, the domain questions will feel more familiar.
What types of tech companies offer internships to students aged 14–18?+
Thousands of UK companies run structured work experience and internship schemes for secondary school students — from global firms like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon through to funded schemes run by local tech start-ups and scale-ups. Many specifically seek students with assessment data to back their application.
How does the Technology domain section compare to GCSE Computer Science?+
The domain questions draw on similar concepts (algorithms, data, networks) but are scenario-based rather than exam-style. You apply the concept to a real work situation. Students who have not studied GCSE CS can still perform well — the scenarios are designed to be approachable.
Will my Eduentry readiness report help with a university CS application?+
Evidence of structured work experience and measurable skills is increasingly valued by CS admissions teams, especially at post-92 and Russell Group universities. Your readiness report gives you a concrete artefact to reference in personal statements and interviews.
Can I retake the assessment if I want a better score?+
Each account receives one full assessment. This ensures your report reflects genuine performance — which is what employers value. If you are not ready, our blog has targeted preparation guides for the Technology track.
