Rounds, Study, Career Explorer and Aramis:Current Daily
How to keep going after a first round, the round sizes you can choose, when Study opens, what Career Explorer is, and how Aramis:Current Daily and its next-day quiz work.
How do I keep going after my first round?
You can add a round at the end of a round, on your results page, or on My Insight. Pick a size from the list and select the button beside it: "Keep going", "Sharpen this map" or "Continue this role". Your earlier self-ratings come back pre-filled on "Before the assessment": keep them or change any of them, and rate any area that is new in this round.
What round sizes can I choose?
The list offers "Next 25 questions, about 30 minutes", "Next 100 questions, about 2 hours", and all the questions you have left, with an estimate of the time. A size appears only when the role has more questions left than that, and each option states its length before you start. Every round adds evidence to the same map.
How many questions does a role have?
It depends on the role. A role's full assessment has about one question for each statement in the role, and most roles have several hundred. That is why Aramis measures in rounds rather than in one long test.
What is Study?
Study is practice with explanations, for a role you have been measured against. After each Study question you see the best answer and why each choice works or does not. Study never changes your competency map.
When does Study open?
Study opens for a role, and stays open, when you finish your second round of it, answer 48 of its questions, or finish the whole role, whichever comes first. Your results page then offers "Open Study", and My Insight shows "Study this role". Until then the Study address shows "That page does not exist", because there is no preview.
Why does Study say there are no questions in my language?
You have earned Study for the role, but its Study questions are not published in that language yet. Nothing is lost; they appear when they are ready.
What is Career Explorer?
Career Explorer is a survey about which cybersecurity work you would enjoy, in two sections that take about 25 minutes. First you say how drawn you are to 90 short statements about kinds of work; then, in the judgment calls, you choose what you would do in 12 small situations and say whether you would enjoy making that call. Your progress is saved, so you can stop and come back.
Does Career Explorer score me or pick a role for me?
No. There are no right or wrong answers, no score and no ranking, and the option you choose in a situation is never marked right or wrong. At the end you see the roles whose work lines up with your answers, in catalog order, with up to three to start measuring, and your answers never affect any assessment.
What is Aramis:Current Daily?
Aramis:Current Daily is a short reading list for a role, under 30 minutes per edition, offered as a public beta. It appears on a role's page when the role has an edition, and "Past editions" lists every edition for the role, newest first. Each item links to its source and says why it matters for the role.
Why has my role's edition not changed?
Editions are chosen against a quality standard, and nothing is added just to fill a day. A role with nothing new that qualifies keeps its last edition, and not every role has one. If an item is corrected after publication, it shows the date of the correction.
How does the next-day quiz work?
Signed in, you can take a short quiz on an edition the day after it is published, with one question per item. If you did not get to an item, choose "I didn't get to this one". Select "Check my answer" to see whether you were right, why, and the source; a quiz closes after a while.
Can I tell you what I thought of an item?
Yes. Under each item, "Was this worth your time?" lets you answer, for example, "Useful", "Not relevant to this role" or "Link did not work". Those answers help decide which sources to keep linking to.
