FAQs
Why should I take a psychometric test or assessment centre training?
Part of your overall investment in your career is to improve your skills so you will get better scores in a psychometric test and pass the assessment centre. This is similar to your efforts in preparing a professional résumé.
If I only have one or two days before taking the psychometric test or assessment centre, would the training help?
Yes. One day of training should be sufficient if you are a quick learner, but it is always better to take your time and practise more. If you are invited to take psychometric testing and have only one day to prepare, you may wish to check the option of postponing the testing. In general, employers don’t view postponement negatively.

Shouldn’t the employer see me for who I am?
The training we offer doesn’t change your personality or your characteristics. We assist you to emphasise your strengths and enable you to be at your best when taking the psychometric test or assessment centre. We also reduce the chance that facing an unfamiliar psychometric test or assessment centre will impair your ability to demonstrate your true capabilities.
Can I take the practice tests more than once?
Yes, you can take the test as many times as you need to practise and gain top confidence and results. Each time you take an aptitude test (abstract, verbal or numerical) you will get a different test.
What’s the difference between just taking a psychometric test and what Institute of Psychometric Coaching (IPC) offers?
We provide customised tests for each profession, and personalised reports with relevant strengths and weaknesses. We also coach you on how to emphasise your relevant strengths. In case you wish, we also offer one-on-one personal coaching.
Will I understand what is written in your reports?
Contrary to what is offered in the market, our reports don’t use psychological jargon. All our reports and guides are written in simple, straightforward language, so you will understand your test results, their implications, and what you should improve.
I have a slow Internet connection (dial-up). Can I take your online training?
Our online training for the psychometric testing is designed to suit both high- and slow-speed Internet connection, so, you will not be disadvantaged by having a slow Internet connection.
Would my employer know about my training with IPC?
IPC is an independent company that is complying with the strict ethical code of the Psychological Society. All your information is confidential and will not be passed on to any third party (recruiter or employer).
Is your training suitable to the role I applied for?
IPC offers a wide range of training services to enable you to succeed in your psychometric testing and assessment centre. We cover a broad range of professions and roles. So first try to see whether you can find yourself in the information and examples offered for each position or classification. If you are still unsuccessful, email us and one of our psychologists and consultants will be glad to assist you.
Are your practice tests and assessment centre exercises similar to what I’ll receive in the real thing?
Our practice tests are based on leading and popular psychometric tests used in the market. Our assessment centre exercises are based on real group and individual simulations used by companies worldwide. They are the closest you can get to the real thing.
I prefer not to provide my credit card details online. What can I do?
Our online payment option uses Secure Pay which is recognised worldwide for its highly secure and easy payment process. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can contact one of our consultants to arrange for a bank transfer.
