Google Apprenticeship Online Tests: What to Expect and How to Prepare
The Google online tests are: Online application review and role-specific screening: no standard psychometric test. This stage filters out a significant proportion of applicants: preparation makes a real difference.
What the Tests Involve
Online application review and role-specific screening: no standard psychometric test
How to Prepare
- 1.Practice with real test providers. SHL, Korn Ferry, Cubiks, and Talent Q all publish free sample tests. The interface and question format varies by provider: know what to expect.
- 2.Do a full timed practice run. Sitting the test for the first time under actual time pressure is the wrong time to discover you're slower than you thought.
- 3.Optimise your setup. Fast internet, quiet room, laptop (not phone), and attempt it when you're alert. Technical issues mid-test are unlikely to result in a resit.
- 4.For SJTs: think like a professional. Situational judgement tests have no trick answers, but they reward considered, measured responses over impulsive ones. Read each scenario fully before selecting.
