I've recently applied for a new job at a large engineering organisation. I've been shortlisted and had a call from someone in HR of the company and they've asked me to complete an online test by SHL I think.

Has anyone any experience of these? can you prepare for them?

Thanks for the reply its good news you can have a few dry runs.

I think I have a verbal reasoning, technical engineering, maths and a another from memory although I haven't had the email through yet with the link in

I was just quite shocked I got the call it caught me unaware and its the first time I've ever had to do anything like this, plus its for a job I really want which I didn't see and apply for until after the closing date had passed by nearly two weeks.

well I've done the tests and passed with flying colours where apparently every other applicant failed. It wasn't a walk in the park, the questions aren't that difficult, its the pressure to do them in the time allowed that makes it awkward and makes you feel under pressure.
