    Psychometric/Aptitude tests - Accuracy vs number of questions?
    I have been invited to take a numerical and logical online test and I still struggle with them, however, I practised them.

    My questions is, are the employes looking for accuracy rather than number of questions answered? For instance, If I'm not sure about one answer is it better I don't answer that one rather than get it wrong?



    Thanks

    Answer all questions. Leaving them will just prove you a retard. Make sure they can't link your e-mail address on your CV to your TSR account otherwise they'll never employ you.
