Hi, I did my online test yesterday. There are 12 questions in total. You have to read a couple of paragraphs and then choose an answer from the multiple choice quotes given to you. You only have about 75 seconds to read and answer the question. They give you a practice at it first before you go on and do the actual assessment. Hope this helps.
Hi,

I have completed my online Verbal Reasoning test, does anyone know if there will be more test? For example a Maths test?
Do they confirm receipt of the test and how you scored?

Good luck to everyone doing it

I completed the verbal reasoning Assessment yesterday.It states completed and gives a time of completion I don't know how long you have to wait before you get a formal score. I would estimate a few weeks if not mote before we hear back. ..Don't think there is more online tests

Apparently, someone said on here that there could be numerical test at interview but not entirely sure.
How did you find your online assessment?

Quite daunting but hopefully I have done enough but you never can be sure. Hoping there is not a mathematical test I will be struggling!!

Me too, your not alone LOL. It would be good to know the score on the online test though, just for piece of mind, guess we will have to wait.
Hi is it the same 2 paragraphs for all 12 questions or is it a set of paragraphs for 3 questions then another set for the next 3?

When does the test come up, is it after you submit your application form for them to review first or is it an automated test invite immediately after submitting your application form like the hmrc jobs.

I think everyone who has submitted an application does the on-line test. Hope you found the test OK
I'm going to complete the online test this week, I have my login, I can't seem to find the practice test.

I don't want to click on the link for 'start test' in case I end up starting the test early.

Are these true/false/cannot say answers?

Hi - are the paragraph subjects related to the Border Force or are they just general!!

If I remember correctly, you
have to do a couple of practice questions before you start the actual test, so when you click start it comes up with the practice questions first, then once you've done those the actual test starts.

ok great thanks very much. Just practicing on jobtestprep i hope the real test paragraphs arent so long!!!
How did everyone get on. I got an email today to say my application was of considerable merit but unable to invite to interview at this stage but will contact me if further opportunities become available. Really I'm unsure with this means it says considerable merit

To put it bluntly it means your application was good but not good enough to make the interview shortlist.
