An Aptitude test is a structured assessment that aims to evaluate candidates' abilities to complete certain tasks and assignments without prior experience or knowledge. The world's largest organizations use pre-employment/placement tests as a part of the Applicants Tracking System (ATS) managed by third parties. Aptitude tests could be a part of the total score of the candidate (ATS may contain information as resume, personal information, previous experience, and aptitude tests results). Aptitude tests test a range of skills varying from logical thinking to spatial reasoning skills.
Nowadays, most aptitude tests' questions are asked in a tricky manner. Some people complain about struggling to pass aptitude or psychometric tests to get their jobs. The good news is that the most common reasons for failing aptitude tests are lack of preparation, not recognizing weak areas, and ignoring strong ones. The best approach is spending 80 % of time studying the weak areas, and 20 % to brushup strong ones.
These questions will help you work on all of the four specific areas of aptitude/placement tests: Verbal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, Spatial Reasoning, and Numerical reasoning.
Also, Situational Judgement Tests' ( that might also be a part of ATS ) questions' examples with the most effective solutions are available.
