Purchasing Restrictions
The sale of SHL ability tests is restricted to organisations using them as part of their selection or development process. We do not sell ability tests to private individuals and prospective candidates. If you are a candidate about to undertake assessment, we suggest you visit SHL Direct where you can take free SHL practice tests.
Due to the amount of administration required to process each SHL ability test order, KSL Training impose a minimum order quantity of 3 tests, to cover our costs. This restriction does not apply to existing KSL psychometric testing clients.
About the Tests
The SHL online ability screening service tests candidates' Verbal Critical Reasoning and Numerical Critical Reasoning skills at four distinct job roles, as well as the recent addition of the Inductive Reasoning skills test for graduate and managerial roles.
The service uses random generation so that each candidate receives a unique test to complete. With literally millions of permutations you can be confident that candidates will always receive a unique set of questions. At the same time a complex calibration process ensures that each test has equivalent testing properties.
