PREPARATION AND TIPS FOR AN ASSESSMENT

Preparing for a psychometric testing is a combination of a good night’s sleep and eating well. A little bit of adrenaline is ok, but don’t become overstressed. Ensure that you arrive on time for the assessment and maintain a positive attitude throughout the process.

• Listen carefully to instructions making sure you understand what’s required of you
• Before each test you will commonly be given a series of examples. Take these slowly and learn from your mistakes
• Inform the test administrator about any condition you believe may invalidate the test results e.g. recent trauma
• Where tests are timed, plan your time utilization
• With personality tests, do not over deliberate on any one particular question. Your first response is your best response
