PREPARATION
If you require assistance with the calculator during the test please raise your hand.
The calculator will look similar to this:
Situational Judgement Strategies
• This is the last subtest but you still need to be able to concentrate fully during this section.
• Read each scenario and response thoroughly before answering.
• Remember, there are two sets of questions
in this subtest; read the instructions carefully to make sure you understand what you have to do.
• Within a scenario, each rating can be used more than once or not at all. For example, all response options can be given the same rating of very appropriate.
• Responses should relate to what an
individual should do, rather than what they may be likely to do.
• Response options should be treated independently. You should make a judgement as to the appropriateness or importance of a response option independent from the other options presented within the scenario.
• Response options provided are not intended to represent all possible options. The response you think would be the most appropriate/most important may not be present.
• Some options may be appropriate/important in the short term (i.e. immediately addressing a wrong doing) and some are appropriate/ important in the long term (discussing the implications of the wrong doing after the event). Consider response options irrelevant of the timeframe. A response option may still be an appropriate thing to do even if it is not something that can be done immediately.

Abstract Reasoning Strategies
• Timing is again important in this section. In 2016 approximately 19% of candidates failed to answer every question.
• Remember to leave time to review set A and
set B at the beginning of each set of questions. Once you have identified what links each set you are half way there.
• Consider issues around size and shape of objects; number of objects; sides of objects; shading and colour; symmetry, number of angles, position and direction... this sounds complicated but as you look at these shapes you will start to grasp what you need to focus on.
• What links shapes in set A and those in set B will often be linked in some way – remembering this may help you ignore distracting information.
