What is an Aptitude Test?


An aptitude test represents a systematic way to judge a candidate's mental capability as how he/she performs certain tasks and reacts to different scenarios. Each aptitude test uses a standard method of administration and scoring so that results can be computed and compared with the other candidates.

How Are Aptitude Tests Conducted?


In most of the cases, aptitude tests are conducted online either as a part of some competitive exam or as a part of job interview process. Aptitude tests are organized before any interview to take place to filter out the suitable candidates. Aim of aptitude test is primary to check if the candidate can face the challenges in his day-to-day activities of the job. Some companies takes test in form of paper also.

Test Structure


Aptitude tests are time bound tests and in most of the case, are of multiple choice question type. Many times, the options provided are misleading, so you should be very attentive while giving the aptitude test. Some aptitude test has increasing degree of difficulty as paper progresses. Such tests are not designed to be completed and marking gradually increases per question.

Scores and Marking


Passing scores are near to an average score. This average is computed based on the fact that no one can be excellent in all types of aptitude questions. A math graduate could score more in Numerical Ability but may score less in Stock Markets. Passing scores is computed considering a average scoring in all the relative sections of an aptitude test. Marking is considered section wise and a weighted average is considered a passing score.
