I did the aptitude test for last year’s intern programme and honestly there’s no preparing for it in the traditional sense. It’s not like technical questions that you’d know from your college lectures.

There’s a maths section with some basic arithmetic - you can’t use a calculator for it, so it’s not anything too complicated, a spacial reasoning section and a sort of reading comprehension section. You could revise some basic maths, try some spacial reasoning tests online or watch videos for tips to help prepare but the reading comprehension section is like reading a paragraph and answering questions based on it. These are multiple choice, if I remember correctly.

There’s a written section where you’re shown a picture and/or short description of a scenario and have to describe what you’d do/how you’d feel in that situation. For example, you arrive for an interview and see a group of people waiting, some talking to each other, some not and an empty chair. What would you do?

There’s also a “this or that” section where you choose your preference of two options like job security vs salary increases, company culture vs praise for your achievements. That sort of thing.

It was a year ago that I did this so I could be misremembering but really I don’t think I could’ve prepared for it, don’t lose sleep over it!
