Got my acceptance on stage 3 this afternoon. Chuffed to bits. Was already preparing for the worst as I didn't think I did that well on PILAPT - ok but not amazing.
I've done numerical reasoning tests by SHL before when applying for various grad schemes. They're not particularly demanding in terms of the types of maths used (just basic division, multiplication, addition and subtraction). The hardest part is completing as many questions correctly within the alloted time period. Time can be saved by reading the questions carefully and also by how quickly you can interpret what is required. There is quite a bit of information filtering involved. Time can also be saved if you know some maths shortcuts (of which I confess to being no expert!).
Good luck to everyone in stage 3 (but don't stop me getting to stage 4 blah blah
).
