General Test Taking Tips

  • Don't be concerned about employee selection testing. All that's being measured is your overall aptitude for a given position and math and numerical tests aside, there are generally no 'right' or 'wrong' answers.

  • Most job selection tests are carried out under exam conditions. The majority are multiple choice and there are time limits. It's unusual for all candidates to complete the test before the time is up, so don't worry if you're one of them.
  • Unlike other tests, job aptitude tests don't normally have a 'pass mark' as such. Your results are usually compared with the test results of people doing the job you're applying for.
  • Job aptitude tests can cover more than one area. Although there are many types, one section might measure your ability to reason with numbers, another might focus on how you interpret text and a third might measure how you read diagrams.
  • Try to find out the type or types of job selection test you're facing so you can practice. We'd suggest calling the Personnel or HR Department and asking them. They may say no, but in our experience most don't and it can give you a headstart.
