3 aptitude tests, with 15 questions, in 15 minutes:
- Numerical reasoning
- Verbal reasoning
- Diagrammatic reasoning
Negatives
- Far too scary for most of our learners
- Limited relevance (how many progressions / jobs require such tests?)
- Exam feel
- High level language and subject matter e.g. “abstract expressionism”
- Timer in corner adds further pressure
- Strong corporate feel (access to Graduate schemes)
- Emphasis on technique and regular practice
Possible uses
Could be useful for individual practice if someone is looking to improve numeracy / verbal reasoning
at a relatively high level
Could be used in group / informal competition situation if the learners were a well-formed group
Overall
Very limited application, which would require serious consideration before usage
