Customer Reviews

Great preparation for Psychometric tests, especially verbal reasoning
I applied for several finance-related graduate jobs including the NHS Graduate Training Scheme and Big-4 accounting firms, and this was pretty much the only one I found whose level of difficulty reflected that of the actual tests, particularly the verbal reasoning section, and the final section of the numerical reasoning part. The author provides detailed explanations for the answers which were really helped me to improve my scores, and eventually pass!

Who's A Reader? No Spy, No pretending Please
I have been looking around different titles of books about psychometric tests. I found the reviews are really jokes. Just someone keeps using the same names, cloning the same words, same tone for the reviews. He is probably sent out by the publishers to fool us. The webmaster should be awared of it and set out some regulations.

Great book in preparation for psychometric testing
I found this book to be really useful in preparation for psychometric tests. It has loads of practise material and really clear answers to show you where you went wrong. A good buy.
