Creating a fake app so I can see the psychometric tests??

Hey all

Got to sit some online tests for an internship as MS, they only give you 48hrs.

Usually I'd assume they were the standard SHL numerical ones but the emails says they 'may include numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, logical reasoning and numerical checking'.

Anyway they dish out the tests to every application made, so do you reckon its worth making a fake application (obviously not my name/ email) in about 10 mins, then sitting the tests on that account just to see the format/ difficulty, and maybe even a pass/fail.

Can anyone spot any issues with this? Haven't heard of anyone doing this before.

thanks

Is that part of GCM? When I applied for standard IBD, I just got a numerical, passed and was forwarded to first rounds.
