I applied for technology analyst, and did the SJT on Monday. I am still waiting to hear back...

Hi, I applied to the general management graduate role as well. I completed the SST test last Wednesday and got an invite to do the general ability (G+) test yesterday. I completed the test today and now waiting to hear back from them.

It’s a test designed to challenge you- the calculations or problems you have to solve are not difficult but I felt they were worded in a manner which forced you to really think and problem solve). You’re given 36 minutes to complete 30 questions based on inductive reasoning, numerical and problem solving (including pattern based). They mark you on how many you get right, so if you can’t figure out an answer to a question, make a best guess and move on to the next one. They highlight in bold that if you don’t complete the test, there will be a score reduction. So it’s better to complete the test and guess some answers rather than spend a lot of time on a few questions and not complete it. There are a lot of practice tests available as well so attempt them before you do it.

The situational judgement test did not have any maths questions , the G+ (GENERAL ABILITY TEST) had maths questions. The G test had questions where you had to work out percentages/fraction/division there were also pattern related questions. The practice material will help you once you get the link to complete the G TEST you can practice first.

it was alright, the shape-related questions had me confused as hell sometimes, and the maths ones rly made it sink in that I haven't touched a calculator since my maths GCSE 6 years ago. overall though I think it went alright... let us pray x

Same, done it last week. Found it incredibly hard particularly the inductive reasoning part. When did you do the test?

Just over a week ago! Yesss I misread one of those, I thought it said 'which of these statements cannot be true', and then realised after I'd answered that it said 'which of these statements must be true'. Then realised you couldn't go back :'( Now I'm just refreshing my email inbox!
