Does anyone here know of any useful free online psychometric tests? I've tried a few now but there's no point doing the same ones over again. Here's some examples of what I mean if you aren't sure what I'm babbling about :duckhunt https://www.practiceaptitudetests.co...asoning-tests/ https://www.kent.ac.uk/careers/psychotests.htm |

You going to graduate school? I sat through three major graduate school exams, structured very differently, and got within 5% of the same percentile on all of them. (GMAT, GRE, LSAT) It was quite remarkable, to be honest. Prospective law school students are apparently shady as ---fudgesicle--- given the tight security, rules, and supervision. I'd familiarize yourself with whatever format you're going to be taking the actual test in, and focus on the relevant skills/topic areas. |

Ah... I took one of those tests once. As I recall, it was around 30 questions and I had an hour. Pretty straightforward until I got around question #24. It wasn't a particularly difficult problem, but it was a complex one - I believe it involved taking sheets of lumber and what was the minimum number of cuts you could make to get the pieces of you needed. After I had spent a good 10 minutes on it, I realized I was running out of time. I looked at the subsequent questions and they were all MUCH easier. I could be wrong on this, but I think the purpose of that question was to see if you had the sense to skip it and come back to it after you had completed the others. So be wary of tricks like that... I have no doubt what I took was a very standard aptitude test given to prospective employees. |

Yeah I had to take one before getting my CIS degree. I think the whole point is you can't study for them... it's supposed to see if you actually learned more than answers to questions in a book. The lady that was in charge of our graduating class "forgot" to tell us to study for them. We were all freaking out, but in the end, everybody passed. Lots of b.s. like pbj just mentioned... trick questions, questions that you obviously don't have enough time to work out, ect. Remember to quickly glance over the test first, answer what you can, re-check your answers AND the questions (sometimes trick wording is used) and then go back and try to tackle those impossibly hard ones. |
