Well he did say he had a phd so you expect him to make a smart move:D

I dunno. I felt like I bombed the assessment and I got hired. I'm guessing the threshold between passing and failing is really low. Like you said, there's no way to prepare for it.

Thanks to all, much appreciated!
I understand the personality/psych portion cannot be studied for. Same for psychomotor. Got it.
However, specifically, the math portion - is it solving EQUATIONS (multiplication, long-division, area of a triangle, computing sales tax given a certain price, a/c flying diff speeds along same route, where do they meet, etc. - like on lpj.com), or is it more like the VA MATH LOGIC test (5 different people leave for work at different times so who arrives first, does person A arrive after person C, does person B arrive after person A, etc).
Those types of questions can pe practiced for. Again, many thanks:) flyS

The math is not difficult. It's equations like (off the top of my head) 4(x+20)=65 and things like that for 5-10 questions. That's it. If you can remember freshman year of high school you will do just fine.

It will be used as part of the total (anything after the interview) and would go to the PHC.

Agreed but its looking at many things that we would not really notice by just taking it.

Is that answer -15/4? I don't think there was anything that hard on the assessment. If I remember correctly, the only thing that made the math challenging was the multitasking; playing frogger and doing math at the same time.

No idea, I suck at math and guessed at all of them. Those equations are the first thing that comes up after the multitasking session, you're not doing anything but the math. The ones during the multitasking are simple 5+8 and 3x7 type arithmetic.

Like my 8th grade teacher said about the importance of doing algebra in your head, "You're not always going to have a calculator with you." Uh, yeah I do. Thank you Apple.:p

Unless you're a psychology major. Then you're like...is this a random interval saccade combined with a watered down MMPI? I'm ruined for life.:eek:

I would love to get a hold of the data behind this one. The real data, not the "pass rate." Validation info, statistical power, what the distribution looks like, correlation with success, etc. I find it dubious.

Next up: Rorschach ink blot test. Does this look like a blue glove or a hotel key?
