WHAT IS AN APTITUDE ASSESSMENT?
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!
WHAT DOES AN APTITUDE TEST MEASURE?
An aptitude test is centred around the key attributes that are required for the job to which you are applying. The most common types of aptitude tests are:
Numerical Reasoning
This type of test measures your skills in: mental arithmetic, data interpretation, quantitative reasoning, speed/distance/time, charts and graphs.
Verbal Ability
This type of test measures your skills in: spelling, punctuation, grammar, reading and comprehension.
Non-Verbal Reasoning
This type of test measures your skills in: spatial, abstract and inductive reasoning.
Concentration
This type of test measures your skills in: work rates, numerical visual comparisons and dot concentration tests.
Checking Tests
This type of test measures your skills in: dials and switches.
Sample Aptitude Test Questions
To help you get a better understanding of what an aptitude test consists of, let’s take a quick look at a few sample questions.
NUMERICAL REASONING
Numerical Reasoning Tests cover a wide range of mathematical topics. It is therefore imperative that, prior to taking the test, you have an understanding of the skills and knowledge required to solve mathematical problems.
Top Tips for Numerical Reasoning:
- Make sure you practice your mathematical skills. The numerical reasoning test will be extremely difficult if you are not good at maths. Therefore, you need to practice your adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. You should also practice fractions, percentages and ratios.
- Try practising numerical test questions in your head, without writing down your calculations. This is excellent practice for the real test. You should also practice without the use of a calculator.
Numerical Reasoning - Sample Questions
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, … …
Numerical Reasoning - Answers
Question 1. 50
500 ÷ 100 = 5
5 × 50 = 250
250 ÷ 5 = 50
Question 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
Question 3. 34, 32
The sequence follows the format: -2, +12, -2, +12, -2, +12 etc.
VERBAL REASONING TESTS
Verbal Reasoning tests are designed to assess your ability to understand words, language and comprehension. In order to pass these tests, you will need to demonstrate a good understanding of English based written information.
Top Tips for Verbal Reasoning:
- Find out how many minutes you have to complete the test. Usually, Verbal Reasoning tests are conducted under strict time limits. Therefore, you need to work on your timing skills in order to enhance your overall performance.
- Brush up on your vocabulary, grammar and punctuation. Verbal ability tests aim to evaluate your level of literary ability.
Verbal Reasoning - Sample Questions
Question 1. Which one letter can be moved from the first word to the second word to create two new words?
Pail Pan
Question 2. Which two words (one from each bracket) can be combined to create a new word?
(care cook kind) (full less hold)
Question 3. Which 3 of the 8 letter bits can be combined to create a word meaning eat or drink (something) greedily?
ZLI, GED, SCO, ING, FIN, GUZ, EAT, NG
Verbal Reasoning - Answers
Question 1. I
Pal / Pain
Question 2. care/less
Careless
Question 3. guz, zli, ng
Guzzling
NON-VERBAL REASONING TESTS
Non-Verbal Reasoning tests are used to assess a candidate’s ability to recognise shapes and patterns. The questions appear in both diagrammatic and pictorial form, and can be broken up into 3 separate categories: Spatial Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning and Inductive Reasoning.
Top Tips for Non-Verbal Reasoning:
- Drawing or writing out your answers is a fantastic way to better understand the question. It will help you to visualise the problem.
- You can also use highlighters to help distinguish your answers. This is really useful if you are counting shapes, or calculating angles.
Non-Verbal Reasoning - Sample Questions
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?
Non-Verbal Reasoning - Answers
Question 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.
Question 2. A
All of the other figures contain five squares and two pentagons. Figure A contains six squares.
Question 3. D
The ‘Z’-shaped arrow is flipped.
CONCENTRATION TESTS
Concentration tests are a way for recruiters to determine how skilled you are at undertaking tasks which require high levels of concentration. These tests require great attention to detail. You will usually be provided with a large set of information that you will need to take in quickly, and using that information, work out the answer.
Top Tips for Concentration Tests:
- Make sure you practice these questions under timed conditions. Not only do you need to work on getting the answers correct, but the time limit is extremely restrictive, and thus in order to pass you will need to enhance your ability to work quickly through the questions.
- In order to become proficient at these tests, it is important to revise visual comparison tests based on both numbers and alpha-numbers.
Concentration Tests - Sample Question
Below is a sample concentration question, similar to what you would see in your test:
1. Circle the answer option that corresponds with the code 915.
Answer: D
Explanation: If you had to find the code that corresponded with 915, you could use the answer option D. You would take the 9 from the first row, the 1 from the second row, and then take the circle. This uses the same columns as originally stated.
MECHANICAL COMPREHENSION
Mechanical Comprehension tests have been used for many years as a method of assessing a candidate’s ability to perform a specific role. Predominately, they are used in careers which require an ability to work with, or understand, mechanical and technical concepts.
Top Tips for Mechanical Comprehension:
- The majority of employers will assess you on your speed and accuracy. Therefore, you are advised against random ‘guessing’. In order to prevent estimations, practice more and more. Test administrators will deduct marks for incorrect answers. During the preparation for your assessment, we recommend that you practice lots of test questions in order to understand how the answer is reached.
- If you encounter a difficult question during your Mechanical Comprehension test, move on, but remember to leave a gap on the answer sheet. You may fill in the following questions and then come back later.
Mechanical Comprehension - Sample Questions
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?
Mechanical Comprehension - Answers
Question 1. 7.5 kg
10 ÷ 2 = 5
5 × 1.5 = 7.5 kg
Question 2. 1
Only the first three cogs are interconnected. This means only one of them will rotate anti-clockwise.
Question 3. A
In order to tighten the bolt, you must turn it clockwise.
CHECKING TESTS
Checking tests are more commonly used during assessments for roles that require high levels of technical competency. You will normally be required to assess different dials or switches in order to identify where a particular fault lies. Alternatively, you may be required to use ‘priority checking tables’ to assist you during the analysis stage.
Top Tips for Checking Tests:
- Checking tests require great levels of concentration. You can improve your checking test scores by practising other aptitude tests such as concentration ability tests.
- Make sure you focus on each diagram/image very carefully. You do not want to miss important information.
Checking Tests - Sample Question
Below you will find a sample Checking Test question, similar to what you would see in the real test.
1. Which switch in the sequence is not working?
Switch Function of the Switch
X Turns B and D on/off. I.e. black to white and vice versa.
Y Turns C and D on/off. I.e. black to white and vice versa.
Z Turns A and D on/off. I.e. black to white and vice versa.
Answer: Y
Explanation: The first switch to operate is ‘X’, which has the effect of turning circles B and D from black to white, and vice versa. Once switch ‘X’ operates, circle C is the only circle that is black. You will notice that the box on the right side is now identical to this, which means the next switch, switch Y, must be inoperative.
