2. Administrative Skills

Choose the best answer for each question.

1. A client asks you to find a 90-minute slot next Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon after their 3pm standup. What is the best first action?

Ask the client to choose a day and time themselves. Book the 3pm slot on Tuesday straight away. Check the client’s calendar and room availability, then propose clear options. Wait until the client follows up.

2. Which client record contains an error that must be corrected before sending invoices?

3. Four emails arrive together. Which should you handle first?

A supplier newsletter with a discount code. An internal FYI message marked low priority. A client asking you to confirm figures for a report due to their board this afternoon. A connection request forwarded by a colleague.

3. Time Management

4. You have four tasks. Which should you start first?

Reorganise your folder structure for the quarter. Reply to a colleague about a project due next month. Submit a client deliverable that is due in one hour. Read an article a client shared.

5. By mid-morning it is clear you cannot finish everything promised today. What is the best response?

Say nothing and try to do it all, even if quality suffers. Drop the task you like least without telling anyone. Tell the relevant people early, explain the position and agree priorities. Wait until end of day, then apologise.

4. English and Communication

6. What is the main point of this passage?

Remote support roles have changed faster than the guidance meant to govern them. Where once a virtual assistant simply fielded calls and tidied inboxes, the modern role demands fluency across several overlapping systems and the judgement to know when a task should be escalated rather than resolved alone.

Virtual assistants should focus mainly on typing speed. Effective assistants interpret priorities and use judgement. Clients always give detailed instructions. Remote roles have stayed the same.

7. Choose the correct sentence: “_____ I known about the delay sooner, I would have warned the client.”

If had Have Had Would

8. Which sentence is grammatically correct and professional?

I will be grateful if you can to confirm the figures by Friday. I would be grateful that you could confirm the figures by Friday. I am grateful that you can confirm the figures until Friday. I would be grateful if you could confirm the figures by Friday.

Written task * A deadline has been missed on a piece of work for a UK client. Write a short, professional email of about 60 to 90 words apologising, explaining briefly, and proposing a clear way forward.

5. Soft Skills

9. A client spots an error in a report you sent. What is the most professional reaction?

Explain that everyone makes mistakes and move on. Acknowledge it promptly, correct it, and explain how you will prevent it recurring. Point out that the brief was unclear. Apologise repeatedly without fixing the error.

10. You support two clients who are competitors. One asks what the other is working on. What do you do?

Share a little, since it seems harmless. Share only if they promise to keep it quiet. Politely decline and explain that you keep all client information confidential. Avoid answering and stop replying.
