When you say Aptitude Test what do you mean?

Is it going to be a technical test to see how well you could do the job, or a general knowledge test?

 

This is all I know,

Aptitude Test



This will be a single 30 minute test. It is designed to help inform us of your aptitude with respect to working within Information Technology.

 

Aptitude tests can cover a lot of things.
Like what he said, they could be technical tests to see if you know your stuff, or they could be more of a general test to see what basic level of intellignce you've got.
Often they test basic language skills and your ability do do fairly simple maths without a calculator.
Some psychometric tests can reveal a lot about your character by asking scenario based questions etc.

 

Not very specific then!

It could cover anything then from how to un jam a Printer, to troubleshoting an installation.

Try and keep all of your bases covered, i.e. make sure that you can corectly format a word document, right the way through to resloving HW confilcts.

I'm sure that you will have nothing to worry about.

Good Luck!

 

You can't practice for an aptitude test. A person either has aptitiude for something or they don't. It's something you're born with. There's just no way around an aptitude test because there are no "right" answers. It's just a reflection of who you are.

 

Ok thanks for your help on this, cheers,

 

I just had one today. The agent emailed me a link with a candidate number to put into the website, this is the site if anyone is interested:

I was expecting an 'across the board' technical profiency test, the test I got was Windows XP.

I must have guessed half the answers, they were asking questions about which hexidecimal values meant what in BSoD errors and other stuff like that. Some things I had never seen or heard of, let alone used in all the time I've worked with XP.

A lot of questions looked like they'd belong in an MS exam. I haven't taken the XP exam, haven't read any XP exam books for that matter, half of the stuff I could answer because of my working knowledge but the rest of it totally blindsided me.

Shame I was hoping to get an interview for that job but after that test I don't think I'll stand a chance..

I don't remember claiming to have an MCP in XP on my CV, I do state that my working knowledge is pretty good though....

 

the best aptitude test of this kind that i have used is this one: aptitude tests practice
