- Arrive fresh and relaxed at the test. Get a good night’s sleep: it’s indispensable to keeping a clear head
- Dress smart. Although it is not a personal interview, your appearance also counts at this stage
- Arrive at the test several minutes before it starts. This will help you keep calm
- Take care with your demeanour and adopt a posture which demonstrates your interest
- Listen carefully to instructions. If you have a doubt, clarify it before the test begins
- Start to work upon the exercises immediately after the signal to start. Don’t waste precious time which you will not be able to recover later
- If one section is particularly difficult for you, move on to the next. Don’t spend too much time on the same problem. If, after finishing the test, you have a few minutes left over, don’t go over it all again, since nerves may make you doubt your answers; have another go at the questions you left blank
- Don’t worry if you didn’t manage to finish the test: the time allotted is very tight
- In the personality tests, get the “real you” across. Don’t try to project a false image that could spoil your chances.
