Job-Specific Psychometric Test Preparation
Psychometric assessments can vary considerably depending on the employer, occupation and level of the position.
For this reason, we believe effective preparation should go beyond simply completing generic practice questions.
Our preparation is designed around the type of position a candidate is applying for and the assessments they are likely to encounter.
Depending on the job candidates apply for, preparation include job-customised timed practice tests, detailed solutions and explanations, online courses and individual coaching.
We also provide preparation for assessments developed by major psychometric test providers, including SHL, Saville, Hogan, Sova, Criteria, Talent Q and others.
Our Approach
Many capable candidates find psychometric testing difficult because of unfamiliar question formats, strict time limits and the pressure associated with an important job application.
Preparation can help candidates become familiar with these conditions and develop more effective approaches to solving test questions.
Our approach combines:
Practice — Candidates gain experience completing questions similar in style and format to those encountered in employment assessments.
Understanding — Detailed explanations help candidates understand how questions are solved rather than simply memorising answers.
Strategy — Candidates learn practical approaches to time management, problem solving and different types of reasoning questions.
Feedback — Practice results help candidates identify areas of strength and areas that may require further development.
Job-specific preparation — Wherever possible, preparation is tailored to the type of job and assessment the candidate is likely to encounter.

Why We Do It
A psychometric test should provide an employer with useful information about a candidate’s abilities and characteristics. However, unfamiliarity with testing, time pressure and anxiety can prevent candidates from demonstrating their capabilities effectively.
Our purpose is to remove as much of that unfamiliarity as possible.
We help candidates understand the assessment process, practise relevant skills and approach their tests with greater knowledge, preparation and confidence.
