I don't think anyone will have heard back about VRT results yet. It states on their website results will be announced tomorrow afternoon/evening, along with an invite to complete CRT if you pass VRT.

Which website is that? For some reason, I don't know where to look.

Thanks sorry I haven't been able to get on the website - good luck!

Hey Suzylaw, Congratulations! I hope we both get through to the assessment stage.

In terms of preparation, it looks like you can practice some tests here by Talent Lens: https://www.pearson.com/uk/industry-and-professionals/talent-assessment-with-talentlens.html

Other than that, I guess my only plan is to take the test in the morning, when my brain is fresh.

Thanks

I'm finding the tests quite difficult to be honest. Let me know how you get on!

I know what you mean. I still think it’s a funny way to filter people out. I mean, 3 separate tests. Surely one would be enough?

This site is really good btw: https://www.assessmentday.co.uk/watson-glaser-critical-thinking.htm

Once you've completed the practice test, all the answers are given with explanations. I found it very helpful.

It just seems so strange they haven't even looked at our applications, could end up with a load of really bad candidates that are really good at random tests in the ACs! Ah cheers ty so much :smile:

Hi everyone,

Apologies for joining the thread so late- I’ve made it onto the CRT this year and I’m just wondering whether anyone knows how many questions we will be answering in the 30 min test? I felt quiet pressed for time during the VRT so I want to prepare myself. Thanks!

Hi Swizzle,

I didn't realise it was 30 minutes I thought it was an hour to be honest! Relieved - we know there is 5 sections, I think possibly 5 per section as that is what I seem to be coming across in the practice. Don't take my word for it though as I have no clue! Good Luck! :smile:

Hi Everyone,

I know its timed but does anyone know that if you do the questions in a shorter time if it makes a difference on your percentile score? Or should we be using every second we get??

As far as I know there is no score based on timing it’s just about getting the most answers right relative to other candidates so use every second you have. I think I nearly ran out of time so move quickly if you are confident with the answer.
