The practise tests of SHL suck, they dont even tell you which questions you answered wrong, that doesnt help you to at all.

I agree. They are really bad practice tests. They don't give you a detailed answer as to why the logical answer was this or that - that's for the verbal tests. As for the numerical reasoning tests, they have way too much data to deal with for the time alloted.

Today I did the practise SHL Tests. They are some of the WORST tests I have ever taken. (and I did take quite a few tests). The “logic” of the verbal “reasoning” tests is not logic. Besides, after you did the practise test, they don’t give you any explanation about why the correct answer is this and not that.
As for the numerical tests, they are not mathematically difficult, but they are very hard to do in the allotted time. ANYONE can make questions like those in the SHL numerical “reasoning” tests. For example: “John buys fruits and vegetables everyday. Of the total quantity of fruits and vegetables he buys everyday, 4% are tomatoes, 6% are cucumbers, 50% are apples, 15% are oranges and 25% are bananas. If the quantity of cucumbers bought today is 3% more than the quantity of oranges bought yesterday, which is 7% less than the quantity of bananas bought the day before yesterday which is 5 kilograms, what quantity of tomatoes did John buy today?”
How much time do you think you have for such a question? Well, (take a deep breath!), you have 1 minute!
Such questions are not a test of intelligence or a test of hard work, they are PURE STUPIDITY.
