Done! Reckon i got 22/24 numerical and 19-20/24 Verbal. My final Verbal question was a monster! Otherwise it was all ok - finished both before time ended. *PHEW* - sigh of relief!

Good stuff! Did you use anything like Assessment Day to prepare? Just wondering how hard these tests are relative to the practice ones that are available

I didn't receive one but when I tried to take the test again with the link, it said "Thank you for taking the test" or something like that.

Numerical test was far easier than any other i had done. Verbal however, the last question was so much harder!

I did shl, assesmentday and talentq tests as well as kenexa's own practise tests

Well done! :biggrin:

Now just gotta wait lol

Do you know if they employ some sort of cut-off for the tests before reviewing CV's/CL's ?

Thanks! I think they will do just to cut numbers down - around the 70-75% mark maybe? Not at all sure about the threshold they'll choose

They said they'd be taking up to two weeks so I doubt it. I guess they'll send out rejections by the end of this coming week, and invitations by the end of the following week.
