I passed the day one tests about a month ago and still await my day two assessment. I prepared by using the verbal tests from practiceaptitudetests.com which I found quite useful. For the numerical reasoning I just brushed up on general math skills. I wish I had prepared better for the first computer tests, joystick with shapes and numbers (which might sound weird since I passed it ) while the second computer test is probably quite hard to practice at all.

IMHO the tests are hard to practice in general but I would recommend to do as much as possible to prepare, if nothing else then at least to be able to say to yourself that you did your best if you fail and not to beat yourself up about it. What it comes down to in general is if you have a bad day you fail anyway and if you have a good day you might just pass.

The verbal reasoning was 18 minutes with 32 questions.
The numerical reasoning was 12 minutes with 25 questions
For the computer tests no one mentioned anything about pen and paper but to be honest, I don't think you'll have much time to use them any way.

Hope that helps a bit, best of luck.
