Psychometric testing
Why do we use psychometric testing?
As part of the application process, we will ask candidates to complete a psychometric test. We use psychometric tests as an objective quantifiable way of measuring how suitable someone is for the graduate programme and how capable they’d be doing it.
What should I expect?
Taking place online you’ll often be given 30 minutes to answer questions that cover:
- verbal reasoning – your ability to understand written information
- numerical reasoning – how you think using numbers
How to prepare for a psychometric test?
We would strongly advise that you take the time to practice before completing the psychometric test. This will give you a chance to:
- get familiar with the types of questions you’re likely to be asked
- overcome your nerves
- work out how much time you’re likely to have on each question so you can pace yourself
- learn tips to make sure you perform at your best
You can find free practice sets on sites like:
