I’ve applied for some local government positions that require potential applicants who have passed the first level of hiring to take various tests. One position is for a written test, to gauge clerical/administrative aptitude. Another one is a video exam–watching videos and answering questions on a score sheet. My question is, what should I wear to these tests?? A full business suit? –I’d rather not, since I only have one suit and I prefer to wear it to the actual interview. Or business casual? Nice sweater, dress pants?? Thanks!
Thanks for all the input! I think I will go for a conservative, dark brown, knee-length dress. It is summer, it’s quite hot, and the car a/c is broken. :X

I’ve applied to a few records positions for local law enforcement agencies. I’ve passed the initial application, but have been asked to go to testing locations for a personal history questionnaire and video testing (answer questions via score sheet based on situations presented in a video). The testing runs (as noted) anywhere from an hour and a half to two. What I want to know is, what do I wear to the testing? I would prefer not to wear a full business suit (I only have one, and would like to save it for the actual interview). Any (serious) advice would be helpful! Thanks.
