 Good, but need other reading too for a successful job hunt. February 29, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Good book overall. But it is flawed and there are errors. Certainly to be regarded as a book to be used in conjunction with others such as the 'Brilliant' books eg Brilliant CVs, Brilliant Interviews, Brilliant Answers to Tough Interview Questions etc. Another extremely useful book for job hunters is "How to Handle Your Recruitment Consultant". When all these books are used you really can get one step ahead of the competition in the fight for great jobs.
 Too many errors. July 13, 2006

I'm not sure how this book made it through the editing stage. The questions are interesting, and a good example of what you might expect, however too many of the answers are wrong.
For example, in the estimation section, division by a fraction is done incorrectly, and the answers given for the assembly test are dire.
Avoid, unless you just want to see what questions might be asked.
 Exceedingly useful September 26, 2005

I graduated this year from Brunel University with a degree in computing and applied for several graduate schemes for big organisations including HSBC and EDS, Barclays Bank, etc. I was dead surprised that most of the psychometric tests in our assessment day were similar to the tests in this book, especially the ones in chapter 1, the Diagrammatic Test, chapter 2 the Number Series tests and chapter 3, Compiler Checking and assembly tests. I would like to say thanks for this lovely book which helped me to practise and pass and get my first graduate job with HSBC. I would say it is exceedingly useful if you want to win a graduate job in a big organisation.

I gradated from Brunel University after completing a BSc in Computing. I was invited for the EDS graduate recruitment day in September this year. I could definitely say that chapter one for the diagrammatic reasoning tests and chapter three psychometric tests for IT, were very helpful in my assessment day, to pass and receive a job offer.
However what I really liked about the book is the accuracy of all the tests as I couldn't find a single mistake, whereas in other series by Kogan Page I find many, My challenge is, can anyone find any mistakes in any of the tests and email me? Thumbs up. The book deserves 5 stars. Good luck to the author as I heard the book has been translated into 4 languages.

After graduating last July with a degree in Finance I went to the USA for my summer holiday and heard by chance about the book when reading an article about psychometric tests in one of the USA journals. I bought the second edition of the book on my return to the UK and attended two assessment days for Barclays and HSBC banks. I was surprised that most of the psychometric tests given to us by both banks were very similar to the ones provided in the book, especially the diagrammatic reasoning tests. I passed both assessment days and I was offered two graduate positions. However I chose the HSBC because is nearer to my home. Therefore I wholeheartedly believe the book deserves 5 stars. It is comprehensive, easy to ready and contains lots of expert tips to help you to do better in your assessment day.
