Got the gsk invite online assessment today

Darlx:


NUMERICAL REASONING - untimed. But must be completed in one sitting. Plus, the test is adaptive! That means, the exact number of question you will answer is dependent on when the computer 'feels' it has successfully guaged your abilities.

VERBAL REASONING - untimed too. TRUE, FALSE, CANNOT SAY kind of question. Prior SHL practice will do you good. Conditions are same as for NUMERICAL.

VALUES TEST - untimed too. Behavioural and situational questions to test how well your values fit with theirs (the company's).
Please which one comes first among the three?

For me it came as follows;
1. Values Assessment.

2. CAT Numerical, and

3. Verbal.

Note: I got 3 practice questions each for the Numerical & Verbal before the real assessment. So make sure you read and follow instructions. It's just to guide you. Success

Passing the online test seems to be the end of the process. Many people have passed and their records has been wiped. But anyways make yourself happy.

Myself and some others here have passed the test since two months ago but after a while when we check back to see our progress level it was as if we never applied. No records of any application not to talk of a passed assessment. The whole thing is a joke. Just pass the test for the fun of it.

Guys, I do not intend to burst anyone's bubble, I just deem it imperative (for the sake of those who are still to take their assessments) to let us know that getting a success response after completing the assessment is no guarantee for progression to the ensuing phases. grin

Computer Adaptive Tests (CATs) are designed fundamentally to administer questions to test-takers based on their ability levels. Default algorithms in the testing system adjust the difficulty level of questions, to match the knowledge and ability level of the individual test-takers, based on the previous responses/answers provided.

In other words, if you answer a question wrongly, the next question will DEFINITELY be much easier, while a much tougher one awaits you if you answer a question correctly.

Now, since CATs select questions tailored to match a test-takers's ability level, most examinees are likely to get high scores- which makes a "success message" received after the test meaningless UNTIL a test-taker's (recorded) ability level is measured against the ability threshold/benchmark set by the recruiting organization, to see if a candidate is intelligent and smart enough to be hired.
This means that progression to the next phase entails much more than just receiving a success mail...final success in the assessment is actually based on the NUMBER OF CORRECT ANSWERS and of course the DIFFICULTY LEVEL OF QUESTIONS administered to you.

The reason you cannot go back to review previous questions is to prevent devious candidates from tricking the system by deliberately answering questions wrongly, so as to get very easy succeeding questions ...after which they can now go back, review and answer all the previous questions correctly. grin

Since CATs measure speed, precision, accuracy and ability level, if you're administered very few questions before you're told "Assessment Completed", then chances are that you either got a score well above the set pass score or way below the pass score.

For example, if you get your first 2 or 3 questions all correct, your assessment may end right there, meaning you've got very high ability level, as there may be no tougher questions available in the pool to administer you. On the other hand, if you get the first 3 questions all wrong, the assessment for that section may also be terminated at that point, meaning that though the system understands you've got low ability level, unfortunately there are no easier questions (than the ones already administered you) left in the pool for your level.

Finally, as a tip for those who are still to take the assessment, the first question administered is in most cases of medium difficulty, please answer it correctly so you can get tougher succeeding questions...because the tougher the questions you answer correctly, the brighter your chances of getting selected for the next phase.

Also, don't get caught by the booby trap of "unlimited time" (test not timed). The assessment is not timed but try to work as fast as you can, while ensuring accuracy because in the end, only candidates who answer the toughest questions, within the shortest time and with the highest precision and accuracy level will stand out of the pack.

Good luck everyone.

This is just like GMAT u write for business schools. Folks let me tell you the truth, only about 5% of people who receive the "success" email will actually have made the cut.
Relax. all fingers are not equal. If you want to ace this GSK exam, you can register for IBM Xeneca tutorials or GMAT tutorial. If you begin to score 90th percentile consistently in your GMAT mocks then you can go take the GSK test with confidence. Believe me the practice should take you about 6 months if you are very smart. More than one year if are normal and then the rest of your life if are olodo.
Alternatively you can rig the system. Chinese have a way of getting the questions in the database before taking the exam. Go learn chinese and then go to a chinese forum and start asking.
Alternatively, you could bypass all these processes and locate the omnipotent. but dont worry you DONT operate at that faith level. no you dont so dont border disturbing your pastor or prophet.
