Just for you!

The first test, the Verify, is timed and once you begin there is no stopping, pausing, or restarting, so for this reason, you want to make sure to have the time ahead of you before you start – we recommend you allow for at least an hour, to be safe. I advise you to take them in a quiet room where you can focus with little distraction and equip yourself with the necessary tools – pen, paper, and calculator.

You will be given the option to take a practice test for each segment (verbal and numerical reasoning) and I urge you to take advantage of this. You have unlimited attempts at the practices, and I recommend that you do them multiple times until you feel confident moving forward into the actual assessment portion. When you are doing the timed actual assessments, you will have a little less than a minute per question, so if ever you are stuck on a question don’t ‘burn’ 4 or 5 minutes of your total assessment time, skip the question and keep moving forward with the rest; if you are 90% confident you know the answer go with it, again don’t burn 4-5 minutes of your total assessment time.

Once the cognitive assessments are complete, you will move on to the personality assessments – which, on the other hand, are not timed. Therefore, if you start to feel restless, I urge you to take a break. If you stop at any time the program will remember where you left off. These assessments are largely comprised of questions pertaining to how you describe yourself and how others would describe you. There are no wrong answers, simply answer honestly. Please heed their warnings about trying to select the “right answer” – the program will detect this through impression management. The best way to avoid this is to not overthink or over analyze your answers and don’t be afraid to go with your gut response. In a nutshell: be yourself!
