nope you can do them separately

looking at them they look miles easier!

How many questions in the numerical part?

Is it just percentages and ratios like the Sova practice tests?

Sounds much different by all accounts

I took a break between test

15 Questions in each part, 30 Total

I have been practicing these and jobtestprep. There is a stark difference between them.

I've only done the free one on practiceapptitudetests and found it covered a lot. Did you subscribe?

Jobtestprep are insanely difficult and it could take 10 minutes or more just to do all the calcs for one question.

Folks

I have just finished the assessment tests - and they are quite tough. It is now in the lap of the adjudicators to see if I did enough to get through.

I would suggest that you take your time and read the questions twice before you try to answer and really empty your minds.

I cannot say what the questions were or how they were worded but I can tell you that the practice format on Sova is given to us for a reason. Please don't use other sites - it will only confuse you and the test is tough enough as it is.

Good luck everyone - what will be, will be!

Ps - don't drink anything and go to the loo beforehand - I was bursting at the end if it!!😉

Up to you.... having a G&T now 😉😂😂

Well done 👏

Possibly stupid question but it says we can use paper and a calculator but not to have them on the desk. But I assume I can't go off camera to get them either, can I just leave them on the chair/floor, visible to the camera so I can grab them? (I did say it was stupid 🤣)

Great thank you. I agree it's stupid, I would have thought having them on the desk made it more transparent and accessible. Thanks though, I will do them this evening

Hi all, and hope you're getting through your assessment tests okay. I did find them tough, in particular the numerical, because I couldn't see a full chart at any point only different quadrants at a time. I was constantly scrolling back and forth, up and down to check on correct column/row or confirm list of numbers. Zooming in and out didn't help as only impacted text size. Tests displayed totally differently to the practice Sova tests and made things very difficult. The final chart showed in full as it was a different chart type, but on that it was difficult to identify exact numbers even when zoomed, but I think I found that previously. Interested to know if anyone else had similar issues.

On tech side, I used Google Chrome, as Edge wasn't mentioned in the familiarisation info' but then noticed Edge mentioned when starting verification. It was too late at that stage to change, but wondering whether this issue was Chrome specific or if everyone found the same.

I may not have passed anyway, but felt this really impacted my time, and accuracy at choosing the correct numbers in a row or column to include in calculations. It did seem to be caused by having the right hand side of the screen reserved for video/proctoring. I didn't have this issue with previous assessments when recording throughout. I think now, I would far prefer to do these tests on site.

When I did it I didn't have to scroll up at all!

Neither did I!!
