[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 211127, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=32706]@ohnoselim[/USER] I've generally found these tests a bit tricky to prepare for, especially because they tend to be quite varied depending on the firm and the specific role. From what I’ve seen (and from my own experience doing a CAPP test for Linklaters and BCLP) they often include a mix of situational judgement scenarios and questions that feel more like they’re assessing your personality traits. Some versions also include a Watson Glaser-style element. From having read the forum on the topic, I’d say the best way to approach it is to first get a sense of what the firm is actually looking for. In effect, you'll want to consider their key competencies or values, because that’ll help give you a sense of what they’re likely assessing in the test. Then it can really help to do a few practice SJTs just to get comfortable with the format and start thinking through how you might approach different scenarios. Also, as far as I know, most of these tests aren’t timed. At least, when I did the Linklaters one, I was able to take as long as I needed. I just gave myself the time to really think through each question and what the best or most appropriate response might be.
