Assessment Centres
SICS runs a Careers Programme throughout the year covering topics such as Assessment Centres amongst others - see forthcoming events for details. Careers Advisers can also run workshops in departments, for masters and PHD students and for contract research staff.
SICS online practice aptitude tests
- a new way for you to try out verbal and numerical aptitude tests, as used by graduate employers.
It couldn't be easier to request a practice test - just send us an email at sics@careers.lon.ac.uk including your full name and your university email address. We will send you a unique link giving you access to your own test account, which you can use whenever and wherever you like! When you complete the tests, you are immediately sent constructive feedback on your performance and how you would compare in a real test.
FAQ
Q: Does that mean you no longer run the aptitude test workshops?
A: We are currently still running the workshops alongside the online tests. The workshops are a little different - they use test papers by a different company, and include a diagrammatic test as well as the numberical and verbal tests. However it does cost £5 to attend a workshop, you need to come in to book in advance, and sessions are only available at certain times during term time. You are welcome to do both if you wish.
Q: Can I still discuss my results with an adviser?
A: Yes - print out your test results and bring them along to a SICS quick query session. Please note, not all our careers advisers are certified to give aptitude testing feedback. Please call 020 7863 6030 before you travel to check which adviser is on duty that day.
Q: Why do I have to use my university email address?
A: Tests can only be sent to university email addresses, as we have to ensure they only go to current students.
Q: What if I'm a GradClub member, can I stil get a practice test?
A: Yes you can. Send us your full name and a contact email address, it doesn't have to be a college email, but do include your GradClub membership number.
