In my previous posts, I have talked about some general tips about SHL Test that you are going to take in most Chinese banks recruitment process. Today let’s dive deeper and see some specific experiences about the numerical part of the test from predecessors who have already taken the test before.

Basically, the cycle of preparing the numerical test could be about 1 week. Once you complete the preparation stage, you will feel like ducks to water no matter which company’s numerical test you are taking.

Here are some more detailed tips:

1.  Step 1: Go to the Yingjiesheng BBS (a comprehensive BBS about job-hunting for Chinese fresh graduate students) to download the most recent SHL question set and practice yourself in within the stipulated time. At the beginning you will definitely find that the time is not enough. But after 4-5 question set practices, it will become easier for you to complete the questions within the stipulated time. After that, you should take your chance and complete 4-5 more sets of questions in order to consolidate your achievement.

2.  Step 2: Download the most recent question database from the BBS and print it out. Complete all the questions you have, try to write down formula you used and your thinking about the question by them. This stage will be complete quite fast because some questions in the database you have already seen before when you were doing the question set practices. In addition, you can try to further extract the information of charts in each question and write them down by each question.

3.  Step 3: One hour before your actual test, review your question database with notes again and read the answers only. When you are taking the actual test, put your question database beside you to make it convenient to look up tp. When you are trying to find a particular question in your database, match the multiple choices instead of the question itself. Once you find the exact same choices in the actual test, you can just use the answer you already had in your question database.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTION:

Some people do not complete step one and two and just do the step three directly, even though sometimes they still can pass the test, the problem is, there is a validity test in a lot of recruiting companies. It is a brand new SHL Test with a brand new set of questions. So there is no way for you to prepare the validity test and the time for this test is extremely limited. Companies will match your correct answer rate as well as your style of completing the test. So if you did not complete the step 1 & 2, it will be your nightmare when you get a validity test from your company.

If you can follow the steps mentioned above to prepare the numerical part test, you will be able to gain the most rewards with the least investment.
