Psychometric Testing Tips
We've prepared this list of suggestions aimed at helping you be at your best in a psychometric testing situation:
- If you know the type of assessment you will encounter, you can prepare by studying some sample questions. The following is a link to a site which gives sample tests.
- If it is some time since you took a timed assessment of any sort, practice carrying out tasks within a certain timeframe. It doesn't matter if you don't have access to sample questions. Try doing a crossword or similar exercise within a given time limit. The key is to get used to pacing yourself.
- Make sure that you have a good sleep the night before your assessment. Having a clear head is essential.
- If you have any special needs that need to be catered for (e.g. if you have impaired eyesight), ensure you inform the assessment organiser in advance. In this way, special arrangements can be made for you if required.
- It's important you receive feedback on your assessment results. Remember to ask when and where you can expect to have your feedback session.
