The Kentucky Manufacturing Skill Standards Assessment is an "high stakes" assessment designed to indicate an individual's understanding of the "culture" and expectations of the general and high performance manufacturing industry. The assessment is structure around key emphasis areas relevant to the manufacturing industry. Each emphasis area is further divided into the subcategories of Academic, Employability, and occupational skills.

The assessment is available in paper pencil and online through Approved KMSS Testing Centers. To preview a typical example of the KMSS Assessment a practice test has been developed to provide you with an opportunity to see how the test is structured, preview the types of questions included on the KMSS, and to gain an indication of how well you may do on the actual test. The KMSS Practice test is free and available for multiple attempts.

KMSS Practice Test Disclaimer

The KMSS practice test is not intended to replace or fully indicate how well an individual will do on the actual "high stakes" KMSS Assessment. Passing scores do not qualify for a KMSS certificate. Achieving a passing score does not mean that a passing score will be achieved on the KMSS Basic or Advanced Assessments. The practice test simply indicates that the test taker knows what the test is like with regard to questions and structure. The practice test essentially provides an overview of what the actual test covers and how questions appear.
