BEFORE YOU START
Your questions, answered.
Can I tailor this assessment to my Graduate Analyst vacancy?
Yes. Start with Numerical Reasoning, Critical Thinking, Cognitive Ability, Microsoft Excel, then keep the tests that match your responsibilities. For example, use Numerical Reasoning to explore tables & charts. You can add or remove tests before inviting candidates.
Does this assess practical Graduate Analyst work?
Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in Numerical Reasoning, Critical Thinking, Cognitive Ability, Microsoft Excel online. They do not complete your day-to-day work inside your own systems. Add a short work sample based on preparing a project update from a short brief to explore application alongside the test results.
Why is Numerical Reasoning included?
Shows how candidates read figures, tables and percentages, and what they conclude from them. Ask them to interpret a table, calculate a rate and explain what the figures imply. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.
How long does this Graduate Analyst assessment take?
The recommended selection contains 4 tests and allows 50 minutes across its timed tests. Adding or removing tests, or adjusting time allowances, can change the total.
Will I see a separate result for each test?
Yes. Review Numerical Reasoning, Critical Thinking, Cognitive Ability, Microsoft Excel separately so a strength in one area does not hide a gap in another. Use the detail to focus interviews and relevant work samples. View the sample report.
