Assessment Preparation Guides
Structured, high-yield preparation for every assessment type used by UK graduate and apprenticeship employers. Each guide covers what it tests, who uses it, the most common mistakes, and how to prepare — no filler, just actionable tactics.
Numerical Reasoning Tests
Speed and accuracy with data — not advanced maths.
Verbal Reasoning Tests
True, False, or Cannot Say — strictly from the passage.
Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking
Formal logical analysis — not just comprehension.
Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs)
Values alignment — the employer's values, not common sense.
E-Tray / In-Basket Exercises
Your manager's inbox — prioritise, delegate, and respond under pressure.
Video Interviews (HireVue, Sonru, Spark Hire)
Pre-recorded answers, no live interviewer — structure and delivery matter most.
Group Exercises
What assessors actually watch — and the two behaviours that fail candidates most.
Case Study & Presentation
Structure under time pressure — frameworks, recommendations, and Q&A.
Game-Based Assessments (Arctic Shores)
Mini-games that measure cognitive speed, risk tolerance, and personality — be authentic.
