Online tests

Both aptitude tests last 20 minutes and consist of 20 questions.

The numerical reasoning test questions involve percentages, graphs and tables.

Most people will need to practise the numerical reasoning test to pass it. Pages 7-23 of this book may prove extremely useful in preparing for any of the numerical tests.

The verbal reasoning test consists of a number of short business related passages. You have to decide if these passages are either true, false or if it is impossible to say.

The test is designed by PSL.
