Am I stupid? (BB online assessments)
I just took an "online assessment" for a BB SA position, which included a numerical test and a verbal reasoning test. I had around 5 minutes to complete each test, and I found each one very difficult. Have others experienced this or am I just an idiot or something? I thought that there was so many graphs/readings for each one that by the time you went through them there was basically no time to complete the questions. I was expecting something more like the sat/act. Also how important are these assessments in general? Thanks
You can usually find problem-solving, pattern-recognition, verbal reasoning, etc. questions online that generally match the content these aptitude tests, if not specific prep materials for the exact assessment you'll be taking, if you know in advance. It's not as studiable as "walk me through a DCF" (and that's the idea – to try to seperate aptitude from preparation), but you can still improve your relative performance vs. taking them cold.
And you're right, EBs typically don't use.
