Online tests for Barclays Capital

Hi

I just completed the online numerical and vrbal test for Barclays Capital..after I submitted my verbal test I got an email saying:

"Thank you for taking the time to complete the online tests. Your application is under review and we will let you know the status of your application shortly."

Under the Track My Application option on gtios it says "Your test results have been received and, along with your application, are under consideration by the recruitment team"

Does this mean I passed the verbal? After I did numerical I got an automatic pass to the verbal

No, people that fail the first one get an instant notification telling them so and don't get invited to complete the second one

I'm not sure if you can pass the verbal in the same way as the numerical, i.e. get filtered out immediately if you don't answer a certain number correctly and pass through if you do. Either way, they're now looking at your exact test scores of both along with other application details.

Read the post, she's already done both of the tests. You haven't yet passed the verbal, you need to wait.

you pass th first one, you get sent the next. You do the next one and it definately says nothing if you pass it. You have to wait to get an email/phone call to set up your next interview! It could be the nxt day, or a few weeks. I imagine it depends on applications/places available.I didn't think barcap were still hiring still, but best of luck :smile:

Doubt it. Most Banks have higher requirements.

The banks don't have a fixed % they look for it is just the top (X) % of applicant. Hence he reason it is imporant to be really good a the tests!
