Aptitude Tests are designed to assess job-related psychometric skills. Primarily, they focus around topics such as maths, English, or problem solving.
By using this style of assessment, employers can determine whether you have specific skills which they are looking for. Usually, aptitude tests assess particular skills which would be useful for the job role. For example, if you were sitting an assessment for a major banking firm, you can expect that you’d be given a numerical aptitude paper, as this is a key skill for the role.
Aptitude tests are also a useful way for employers to ‘filter out’ unsuitable candidates prior to the final interview for the job. The bottom line is that, particularly for bigger employers, they simply don’t have the time to interview all of the people that apply. By utilising this style of job exam questions, they can identify the best of the best, and employ a top tier candidate.
The majority of aptitude tests are now performed online, however there is still a good chance that you could be asked to attend an in-person assessment centre, where you’ll take the tests. With this in mind, when practising for aptitude tests, make sure you do so in a quiet place – to reflect exam conditions!
An employment test is a fantastic way for recruiters to identify whether candidates have the key skills required.
The most common types of aptitude test are as follows:
If this all sounds scary, then don’t worry. We’re here to help! Our team of testing experts have created the most comprehensive, fantastic aptitude online testing suite available. There’s simply nothing else like it out there.
So, if you need guidance for all of the above tests, and more, check out our aptitude tests free online testing suite! This is the best possible way to conquer any assessment centre, for any job application!
Now, let’s find out how YOU can prepare for your own aptitude assessments!
The best way to prepare for an aptitude assessment is to start practising IMMEDIATELY! The vast majority of candidates send in their application form, and then just sit back and wait for this to be accepted prior to starting their preparation. This is a huge mistake – you are simply costing yourself further preparation time – which could have been used to further improve your skills.
Normally, it’s possible to find out what types of test you’ll be taking. The best way to do this is to actually contact the company in question, or use their website to find out said information. However, in the event that they’re reluctant to share this with you, then fear not. You can still establish the types of tests you’re likely to sit, by examining the job description, and the company.
To do this, think about the company, and the role you’re applying for. What kind of tasks will you be sitting? If your potential job is customer facing, you can expect that the aptitude tests might examine your customer service skills – via role play for example. If you are sitting behind a desk dealing with emails, then you might be expected to multi-task, and therefore would likely face an in-tray or e-tray at the assessment.
If you think this sounds intimidating, then fear not! The variety of assessment-style questions that could come up, is exactly why we recommend that you take advantage of our free employment tests to ensure you land your next job opportunity!

Numerical Reasoning tests focus around, you guessed it, numbers!
They can cover a wide variety of formats, and the types of questions include:
Of course, the above is just a small fraction (no pun intended!) of the number of mathematical question types you might encounter. With this in mind, it’s important to brush up on your knowledge prior to the assessment.
Question 1. What is 50% of 500, divided by 5?
Question 2. A flight leaves the airport at 15:11 hours. It is a 22 hour and 10-minute flight. There is a 3-hour time difference. What time will they arrive at their destination assuming the time difference is 3 hours ahead?
Question 3. Which two numbers come next in the sequence?
4 ,2 ,14, 12, 24, 22, … …
Answer 1. 50
500 ÷ 100 = 5
5 × 50 = 250
250 ÷ 5 = 50
Answer 2. 16:21 or 4:21 pm
15:11 + 3 hours = 18:11
18:11 + 10 minutes = 18:21
18:21 + 22 hours = 16:21
Answer 3. 34, 32
The sequence follows the format: -2, +12, -2, +12, -2, +12 etc.
Verbal Reasoning tests focus around your understanding of words, their meanings, and other such related topics.
They can cover a wide variety of formats, and the types of questions include:

Question 2. Which two words (one from each bracket) can be combined to create a new word?

Question 3. Which 3 of the 8 letter bits can be combined to create a word meaning eat or drink (something) greedily?

Answer 1. I
Pal / Pain
Answer 2. care/less

Non Verbal Reasoning tests are designed to assess your problem solving skills, and your ability to spot patterns between shapes.
They include:
Of course, there are many more elements to non verbal reasoning, all of which go into making this one of the more complex and challenging assessments you’ll take. Most people are extremely unfamiliar with these types of questions, because they test abstract skills, so it’s essential to practice and get familiar.
Question 1. Which figure comes next in the sequence?
Question 2. Which answer figure is the odd one out?
Question 3. Which option is NOT a rotation of the question figure?
Answer 1. C
The black circle is moving around the square anti-clockwise 90 degrees.
The patterned circle is moving around the square clockwise 90 degrees.
The black diagonal line alternates from top-left/bottom right to top-right/bottom left.
The internal, patterned square rotates 90 degrees each time.
Answer 2. A
All of the other figures contain five squares and two pentagons. Figure A contains six squares.
Answer 3. D
The ‘Z’-shaped arrow is flipped.
Mechanical Comprehension tests are an assessment of your basic mechanical knowledge and aptitude in relation to physics-based questions.
They cover:
If you’ve studied physics before, then you’ll already be familiar with the types of questions posed in mechanical comprehension. If not, however, it’s crucial to brush up on your knowledge before the exam!
Question 1. How much weight needs to be placed at point X to balance the beam?
Question 2. If cog A turns clockwise, how many cogs will turn anti-clockwise?
Question 3. Which way would you turn the bolt in order to tighten it?
Answer 1. 7.5 kg
10 ÷ 2 = 5
5 × 1.5 = 7.5 kg
Answer 2. 1
Only the first three cogs are interconnected. This means only one of them will rotate anti-clockwise.
Answer 3. A
In order to tighten the bolt, you must turn it clockwise.
Checking Tests are normally used for roles which require the candidate to demonstrate a high level of technical proficiency. As part of a checking test, you’ll be asked to study a series of dials and switches, and then identify where there is an error or fault. Sometimes, you might be given a table which assists you with this.
Compare the key and the order for checking provided, to the test results, to generate your report. For all elements that do not match, write the code from the chart in the appropriate box, to highlight the error. For all elements that show no error, mark the box with a dash.

Concentration tests assess, you guessed it, your levels of concentration under timed conditions. You’ll be given an image containing lots of information, such as in our example below, and then be asked to work quickly and accurately through the questions. The key thing to remember with concentration is that, for many of the tests, your accuracy is given priority over your speed. By this, we mean that you aren’t necessarily expected to answer all of the questions or finish the test, but you will need to show accuracy in the questions that you did answer (and of course, you should still try to answer as many as possible).
How many boxes contain 4 dots? You have 60 seconds to complete the exercise.
Answer. 56 boxes containing groups of 4 dots.
