NHS Finance Numerical and Verbal Reasoning Tests

Which scheme is it you're going for? I think it probably is SHL. Knowing the NHS they'll go for the largest, most expensive and least effective!

It's the same as the Deloitte tests!

Hey,

I know its not helpful for you anymore as you've probably done these tests already but if anyone needs it for future reference - I've recently done a numerical/verbal reasoning test for NHS and they were from PSL!

Hey Mr_MNH,

I have just received word that I have to sit said psychometric tests for NHS graduate scheme and I was wondering if you had any more information you might be willing to share!

Best Regards,

anyone applying for finance 2010?

I am. Have to take the tests now...what is PSL?

Its like SHL this website offers info on it - im sending it off today. Did you list every job you had since school? it just seems a bit odd to list jobs i had when i was 16 that are completely irrelevent to the application??!!!

I listed three latest jobs. They are also not very relevant. Maybe it was my mistake and I should have remembered everything I have done up-to-date...but it's too much!
Apparently, I know a guy who said he applied twice for this scheme and never got through. He works as a GM at one of the NHS hospitals now... :)

About SHL - you mean the tests they offer to buy here? or those which are at the top - practice psychometric tests?

Hi
Is anybody applying for 2011 nhs graduate intake?

There is one?

2011 graduate scheme will start from sept 2011. If anybody is applying or anyone who have passed the online test please give some good tips to pass online tests because i think they are very difficult.

Hi Concorde 757

I'm glad to hear that you are looking to join the NHS Graduate Scheme. The tests, as with most psychometric tests can be quite difficult in terms of being able to offer specific advice.

This is because their design leans mainly towards testing aptitude rather than academic abililty.

In a nut shell, the best way and possibly only way to prepare for the tests is to undertake a wide variety of practice tests. This should then enable you to condition your mindset when faced with the online assessments.

With many psychometric tests being based on mostly generic principles, taking a look at other psychometric practice tests, such as those offered by the UK Clinical Aptitude Test may also prove quite useful.

My only other tip would be to try and not ponder on one question for too long, if in doubt guess and move on!

I hope this helps and best of luck with the assessments. Onwards and upwards!

Anyone heard back from them yet?

Not yet

anybody heard anything from them?

Still nothing.

I just got an email and I'm through to interview. Will post and let you know how it goes. Please share any experience you have. Good luck guys!

I got an through to the interview too. It says they will be assessing:
• Personal Qualities
• Working With Others
What exactly is meant by personal qualities. I tried to go online to look at their competencies to see if there's any guidance but none. Maybe they simply want to see which qualities i possess as a person. Seems very broad though. Any ideas anyone.

Good luck to those still waiting to hear

HI,

I just got throught the interview too. I did gave the interview last year as wel but was failed on motivation. Last year they asked questions based on the competencies, and wanted two exmples for each competency.
Im okey with working with others (Team work) and i dnt understand personal qualities. According to NHS competecny framework its further sub-divided into 5 parts i.e. self belief, self awareness, self management, drive for improvement and personal integrity.

So do we need examples of each of these, and do we need one or two examples., ( regarding the examples, does it have to be different , as i Havent worked much, )and what is the best way to answer question about motivation?

So can anyone help me plz, who's given the interview or have any idea's about it

thank you so much
