There are no thumb rules for excelling in psychometric tests.

Perhaps these few suggestions may be of help:

1. Make practising your hobby. Go to their website (SHL is a bit friendlier), take mock tests and record your progress. The more you improve in your mockups, the better your chances at success in the real test.

2. Eschew anxiety and over- confidence. There's a thin line between being optimistic and being overconfident.
Boost your morale, but balance your emotions and regulate the hormones powering anxiety. When you are set to take the test, pretend you're in a normal class discussion, be at ease and forget the timing, the fear of failing and the hopes of getting the job - just focus on the moment!

3. There are some game apps that can help you unconsciously improve your aptitude while having fun... One that readily comes to mind is Elevate.

Taking psychometric tests should not be an all worked-up exercise. Practice, relax, have fun!

Wishing you success in your next outing.

If it's exams that test your cognitive reasoning, don't get too serious about it. Because the more you think about each questions the less you will score.

Most aptitude test comes in form of "quantitative and verbal reasoning". So your best and safest way is to hazard a guess very quickly and move on to the next question.

Speed and Accuracy is the key. But know that you can't be 100% accurate, so put speed to your advantage as well because the more you can attempt, the more chance you would have.

If you can however combine speed and Accuracy together, I bet you will pass your next aptitude test.

Best of luck buddy.

This!

Has to be good practice though. SHL style aptitude tests are very different from the ones generally available locally

I understand your point, last last "the idea is to have the idea" so one doesn't end up missing out.

If you fail the past questions, you LL surely fail the tests on the job day.

Start by attempting the past questions, understand the format and pass very well before you attend the next job test.

Start preparing NOW! Don't wait till the next job test invite

I did one Job Aptitude test some years ago and I know that I pass but I was not called or selected.

But the reality is that you may pass this Aptitude test but there are selected candidates that organization are going to pick or have already picked for the Job.

This also balls down to " who do you know, who are you connected to and what are you bringing to the company?

Pray hard, practise and network with professional

I'll advice that you use JAMB method.
Work on your strength and make up for your weaknesses.

You can score excellently in some sections and it will cover up for the low score in other sections.

For instance:
Mathematics 20
English 65
Commerce 70
Economics 72

Check the total.

Some people no the even get interview invitation o.

Just keep trying. You should always try to learn from failed experience. Try not to repeat same mistakes

Could be one of 2 things.

1.You are not a 'natural test taker' . Yes, there are people like that.

2. You don't prepare/practice well enough. Studying the general topics & corrections for long.

Remedy: whenever you don't have a natural aptitude for an exercise you have to do more work.

I'm not joking do 4 hrs practice daily for the next 3 months— don't miss a day.

Make it 6 hrs a day & 2 to the test. The questions would come naturally to you. Because of muscle memory.

Www.Indiabix.com is a good resource.

Don't sulk in failure.
Exactly..indiabix was really helpful.

You fail because you have been solving questions your own way. Another is that you do not learn the short cuts. Try these two and see yourself ace any tests.

You should test yourself several times at home first

Get computer based GRE test simulations

If you can master those you can pass most aptitude tests

My sympathy.
Looking for job in Nigeria now is one of the most difficult things to do. My brother, you didn't fail. It is just that you did not meet the competitive cut off point - the reason behind the name, " scholastic aptitude test". You are competing with the next person writing the same exam and one mark could make all the difference.

Just keep practicing with more materials and time your self. Get proficient with various short cuts of getting fractions, graphical interpretations and percentages solved. Practice with SHL and let your basic maths skills be top notch.

All the best. Don't loose focus.

It's great to practice and all, but you need to understand that the pool is very large. Most companies can only employ less than a hundred people from a pool of 5000 people. The competition is steep.

What will be will be, some always pass test and do well in interview and still not selected, some will get the jobs with little or no stress , some will enter through replacement, some will pass test and fail interview and might get or not get the job, sha make sure you have something doing to earn a living no matter how little and don't totally base your hope on those jobs.
