I RARELY leave comments but man,if it wasn’t for this video I wouldn’t have been able to properly practiced or predict what was coming for my SHL test. Just did it this morning and the tests were all spot on. I have no idea if I passed or not but this guy deserves all the likes in the world for producing this. Thank you!
Thank you for breaking your habit and leaving such a fun & kind comment! 😀 I am happy that my video served your test preparation and execution well 😊 Preparing the video took me ~3 weeks, and it has been down for 3 months in summer since SHL had banned the video for false copyright claims and I had to fight legal battles to get it back on here... So yeah, comments such as yours make my day and motivate me to keep going 😉 "This guy" Jack 😉
Party on, Jack! VERY HELPFUL. Exceptionally well made, organized and connected to the resources. Will practice later and I will take the test tomorrow.
Party on! Thank you so much for the video!!! I just finished mine. It was my first time taking one, and I would say I did it pretty badly. Nonetheless, your video helped a lot with calming me down when I see the questions. I would love to get this internship, but I guess we will have to wait for now. Wish me luck!
Hi there! Sounds as if you are just starting out your journey! Well done for putting the extra effort in to prepare as well as you could for the challenge. Even if you do not succeed this time, you certainly have grown over this first step and will be rewarded soon for your persistence. Good luck!
Just finished my assessment and on god this really is helpful. I have not yet received the result for it but I can assure that this video helped me a lot. The details and the practices are of course not the same but was similar. In my case it was slightly more difficult. One thing that I really wish SHL could add is like an indication of how many questions I completed for the general ability test. Overall, thank you so much for the video as well as the perfect humour 😆 Wishing all job hunters a good luck!
Wohoo! I can tell by your writing style that you are still on high-adrenaline 😄 I'm sorry that you faced an even more difficult test. I tried to present a balanced selection in my tutorial. By deviating details you were referring to the user interface? And could you not see how many questions were there in the test, so you should know how many of them you took a shot at? Obviously, you only get a yes or no on the test... Thanks again for pouring so much positivity. Last year I had a tough time with this video - SHL banned it for false copyright claims, and I had to take a legal fight to get it back online after 3 months. Glad it was worth it 😉 Good luck for your next steps! Jack

Great video, i just had a deductive test and i felt so frustrated cause i didnt know how to approach these questions, now i have an idea and will be more prepared for a shl test, if i ever have to do it again (hope not lol). Thank you
Hello Jack, I come again! Your video has been amazing and helped me make sense of everything. The company I've applied for a role in did not specify whether I'll be doing the old multiple choice or the new interactive test however, they stated that I will have approximately 18mins to complete. Does this information help deduce which test I'll be required to complete? I look forward to your prompt response.
Happy to hear that! 👍🏼 If you go back to 11:11 of the video - 18 minutes sounds as if you might be asked to take one of the new modules - if it is only one of the modules, then most likely it will be the interactive numerical reasoning test. Obviously, I am engaging in speculation here, so please take my educated guess with caution 🙂 Good luck for your test!
PARTY ON!!!!! Absolutely amazing video with powerful insights and solid information. I will be singing up to your newsletter (lookout for my name) and look forward to practicing the tests tonight. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
@@YOUinConsulting Yes I have, and I have received my welcome email and resource pack all via a smooth, seamless experience. It has so many links to numerous support sources and very well composed, clearly defined sections. I cannot thank you enough!!!
Hi! Adding 30% to a number is mathematically equivalent to multiplying it by 1.3 . The equation 30%=0.3 is true (if you do not anymore remember why, I explain it here: th-cam.com/video/KKWDasj8NpI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FPEgEkT2kbZF5X4Y Clear now?
Hi Jack! I am slightly confused. Time stamp 22:30: Jerome and Maria seem to be the same. Jerome made target at exactly 10% and didn't exceed the goal, yet he's receiving a bonus. Maria made target as well at just over 10% at 437.8 deliveries, but I rounded it off to 437 instead yet she isn't receiving a bonus. Why is that?
Hi! Was just about to respond to your question on the pie chart / island C, but seems you have resolved it yourself in the meantime 🙂 Jerome indeed completed 770/700 = 10% deliveries, and his average rating is sufficient to earn the 25 USD bonus. Maria completed 437/398 < 10% deliveries (check your calculation once again!), which is why she has not earned the bonus. Clear now?
Hi! I have checked them when creating the video 😉 The mock test times match those summarized in the chart at minute 11:22, which matches the thinking time during the actual standard test. I am pretty sure a specific employer can ask SHL to assign more or less time for a test, if it wants to make it easier or more difficult for its applicants, respectively.
Please re-read the question briefing. There it says that the 10 am conference starts 30 minutes earlier and that the 12pm conference both starts earlier as well as is extended.
Sure, you are referring to question 10 at minute 36:42. The Operations condition says: "Operations is scheduled with the same difference from sales as it is from R&D". Given the first 3 slots are taken already, Operations has to come fourth (otherwise, it would be impossible to have the Operations workshop be equidistant to two other workshops). Then Operations is two slots away from sales, so it must also be two slots away from R&D. For this reason, R&D must take place as the last workshop, and the remaining slot no 5 is assigned to Marketing. Clear now?
@@YOUinConsulting Can you please direct exactly how to access the free material for the SHL test? I've signed up to the newsletter and got an email right away. In the email itself I chose option number 2, "Take the FREE YOUinConsulting aptitude test & find out THE TRUTH!". However, the pdf provided addresses general interview preparation (which is reasonable given the title), and doesn't mention the SHL test. Thanks again!
@@avivlaufman1 Sure 🙂 In my welcome email, you need to click on the 5th button "Get my resources now" (under "5. Claim your FREE resources for your consulting online test preparation!"), and then you immmediately get the email with all the free SHL test prep resources that I have compiled for you.

Hey, this is an awesome video so thank you so much for inviting us to party on. I'm a little stuck on at 29:08 why is the only answer 11:30am? At 4:30pm, you'd fulfil all conditions and the max participants at peak is only 60.
Thank you, that is correct! You cannot schedule the conference to 4.40 pm, because then there was no hour left for cleaning the room afterwards. Glad you have enjoyed the party 😉
@@YOUinConsulting this is a silly "gotcha" limitation and a poorly-designed/worded prompt. could be fixed simply by adding a sentence to the end of the prompt like, "note: all rooms must be cleaned after the last session of the day, and the cleaning staff leaves at 6pm." a conference center wouldn't even bother to list the 5pm-6pm block as available for scheduling if there's no possibility for anything to be scheduled in that block ever.
You have to plug in the upper three equations for A, B and D into the equation that says 250.000 = A+B+C+D. Then solve for C, and you obtain C = 33.800
Wow 💯 Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙌🏼 To be honest, I had not known how much work video creation is, but I think there is already so much boring business content out there... And I don't like people to get scared by the corporate environment. Therefore, where appropriate, I like to inject a bit of humor indeed... 😉 Glad you appreciate and enjoy it 😎
Replace "25% faster" by "requires 25% less time", then it should be clear. If you multiplied by 1/1.25 = 0.8, then that would be equal to just 20% faster.
Hi jack, I've got an SHL deductive test coming up and as I've requested extra tine, my time limit is 30 min. I was wondering if could deduce whether this is a non-interactive or interactive test? thanks for the great video
Kindly check the table at 11:18. Old deductive reasoning test takes 20 minutes, new one 18 minutes. Given you asked for the extra time, it is hard to tell. Good luck for your test!
Hiii 🎉 have a question please. What’s your tips to do these in time constraints? The question will have only a little over a minute to answer… how can these be done quickly??
Hi! In the video, I had pointed the fact that some question types demand more time than others. For instance, in the numerical reasoning test part, you should run rather quickly through the, e.g., line chart and ranking questions, so that you can spend a bit more time on the pie chart and bar chart questions. If you feel you struggle for too long with a specific question, it is important that you do not get hung up to it for too much time and rather skip it and move on quickly. Finally, yes the tests are designed to put you under time stress. It is unlikely you will be able to a) go through all questions AND b) answer all of them correctly. However, you will never need to get 100% right. The cut-off score may depend on the competitiveness of your target employer; the more applicants, probably the higher the cut-off score.
@@YOUinConsulting hi Jack! thanks for the amazing video and material 🤩. I'm practicing for an SHL test to enter a chilean company. In line with @Slow_owl509 question. If I'm struggling in time with a question, I see for your answer that I can skip it. My questions: 1. Can I go back later to the questions I have skipped so I can try to solve them? 2. Seeing the examples you shared of reports with the results after finishing a test, I assume that is better to skip than make a guess, you agree? Thanks a lot again!
@@tomasdcm Smart questions, and if I had known the definite answers to them, I would certainly have included them in the video 😉 On 1) As far as I know: no. In the simulations, you can go back though On 2) I am afraid whether or not you getminus points for wrongly answered questions is a secret I have not yet managed to uncover. How did you draw your conclusion on the basis of the result reports? The point though is not to get hung up for too long on objectively difficult/time-consuming questions (whether you decide to just skip them or to make a random guess).
Hi Jake thank you so much for this amazing video. I just want to ask something quickly on the first question line chart numerical the method of calculating the percent differs from the 4th question at 20:28 and they both determine historical value of something, what's the difference sir. I appreciate your response and time
Hi there! Thank you! Minute 20:28 leads me to the ranking question (3/5). Could you provide the exact two references (time stamps) where you wish to compare the two questions/answers?
Please use the clues at the beginning of the video to identify which SHL test type you need to take, i.e., if it is just a General Ability type test, or if you need to expect any polit-specific questions
Hi Jack, I need some help in 17:43 (question 2 Numerical Reasoning: Pie Chart). How did you calculate the equation to get A, B and D. Please can you help. Thank you
Hi! You refer to question 2 at 17:43, right? In order to solve for C, you need to plug in the solutions for A, B and D into the fourth equation, hence: 250.000 = (4xC) + (4xC - 92.200) + C + (C + 4200). This equals to 250.000 = 10xC - 88.000. Now, you solve for C and obtain C = 33800. I hope this clears up your confusion 🙂
Kindly check the table at 11:18 of the video. 46 minutes is more than the usual 36 minutes. SHL offers many different test modules, maybe you can inquire a little more about the number of questions to expect?
@@YOUinConsulting im guessing its the 10 minutes time for reading the instructions and sample questions. I'm thinking right now if I can open the "start assesment" in my email so I can have a clue in the starting menu of SHL if its interactive or the MC one. I cant inquire the number of questions since the company based who sent me ths shl email is based from another country, and not from my HR.
@@YOUinConsulting Upon checking, yeah, its interactive. There are words like drag and activity based on the instruction page. Thank you so much for this vid. Party On Jack.
Hi! Next time, kindly add question number / video minute for reference 🙂 But I got ya, your question is about question no 1/13 at 16:42. I am afraid your calculation is not correct. The task states that in 2021, the company had 10% fewer customers than in 2020. Equivalently, this means that the number of 2021 customers amounts to 90% of 2020 customers. In order to compute the number of 2020 customers from the given number of 72.000 customers in 2021, you need to multiply by the reciprocal value: 1/90%, or 1/0,9, or 10/9 (as it is written in my solution). When applying a percentage reduction in one direction, in order to return to the original number, you always have to apply the reciprocal value. For instance, if you increase 100 by 10% (or multiply by 1,1), it yields you 110. If you then again (wrongly) reduce by 10%, you land at 99 instead of 100. Instead you have to multiply by reciprocal value 1/1,1=10/11 to return to 100. If you are still unclear, take a look at my percentage calculation recap video 🙂
Hi! You refer to question 2 at 18:47, right? In order to solve for C, you need to plug in the solutions for A, B and D into the fourth equation, hence: 250.000 = (4xC) + (4xC - 92.200) + C + (C + 4200). This equals to 250.000 = 10xC - 88.000. Now, you solve for C and obtain C = 33800. Is it clear now?
Party on! Thank you for the helpful Video. I tried the SHL Practice Test and the time was so short, I could not manage it. Is it really about to finish everything correctly in the given time?
Thank you very much 🖖 Of course, the more questions you answer, the better! As I explain in the early parts of the video, every company may set the cut-off score individually and by itself, so the more questions you answer, the higher your odds of exceeding the required score. If you found you struggled in SHL's official mock test modules, I suggest you invest some further time into test preparation (given the SHL mock tests are somewhat easier than the real ones). Good luck for your prep & test! 👍
@@YOUinConsulting Thanks for responding so fast. I need to make the assessment until Monday and don`t have much time to practice. any tipps what to focus on? I probably won`t be able to cover everything.
That is still two days 🙂 Have you spotted certain weaknesses during taking the official SHL mock tests? Then I suggest you to focus on those test parts you struggled with the most. If you are unsure, then focus on the numerical reasoning test. For preparation, the paid SHL test prepkit is very good, and two days would be enough to process its most important materials. If you are looking for further free resources beyond the SHL mock tests, you can for instance work with those I suggest in my prepkit on the other online tests, for instance McKinsey's or BCG's mock tests, which also test your analytical and quant skills.
@@YOUinConsulting yeah, and I have 3 other exams next week, need to learn for them too this weekend:D my weakness the speed and regarding specific tasks the sequence part. Thanks for the tipps. I will also include the strategy of skipping some tests to do better on others.
@@YOUinConsulting. Thanks..It is super! Could you please provide more preparation materials specific for test. Such as concept about graph calculation or for ratio questions
@@aysha1402 Glad you find it useful 👍🏼 You find further free test prep materials in my online test prepkit for download (instructions in video & description)
Hi Merry, for each bar you have to divide the segment time by the total time for that bar. So for instance to get to the 53% in the top left, you need to divide 75/142.5 .
@louishayes5898 very good question! In the real test, you would need to drag the borders of the bars to their correct levels instead of typing in the digits, so the legend here is just an illustration.
I feel so stupid lol, i dont understand the interactive test at all... i dont get it, the 1st question that you said is really easy, i find it so difficult, I couldnt understand what you mean by "the red triangle, just move one triangle to the left" i tried to make it make sense in my head but i just couldnt understand it... so are we moving the "colored triangle" to the left or the "white triangle" to the left, if we moved the colored triangle to the left then why the colored part changed (idk how to say it but it the white triangle become colored triangle (hourglass)). If you said the triangle move to the left side then why in the 3rd picture, the most right triangle part already become white triangle? isnt it supposed to be the most right and the middle part that become colored triangle? it's really hard to explain what im confused about in english and it annoyed me a lot.. so I wish you make more detailed in explanation using pictures step by step about the logic, instead of just saying it by word
Hi! I think you posted your question twice. I copy my answer just given to you: Let me try to rephrase: When you go through the four shapes from the left to the right (1 to 4), from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, all pairs of red (or colored) triangles move one triangle pair to the left. Maybe it is easiest to see between 2 and 3. If the outer left pair of triangles has been colored, they reenter the next shape from the right (i.e., outer right pair of triangles is colored). Can you see it now?
Could someone tell me if my answer will be counted as correct if I selected the correct answer (or any answer), but ran out of time and didn’t manage to click 'next'?
First of all Thank you for your video it was amezing. For the Ranking 21:39 I think Rita should be 2 and Dirk should be 1. could you please expain more
At 11.30 am, if you count the attendants of the four rooms together, you get: 1: 120 2: 0 3: 90 4: 60 In total 270 attendants, well-belove the conference centre's 340 maximum capacity. Is it clear now?
I think the task should sound: move the schedule time of the conferences according to the instructions. Keep in mind the gap time for cleaning the rooms. Thank you.
@@YOUinConsultingHello Jack, I have texted you on LinkedIn and would like to discuss about the courses you are offering. Could you please revert to me on that. Thanks in advance 😊
I just wrote a freaking essay long question about inductive reasoning number 1 yet it s gone, well the point is, i dont understand what you mean by "red triangle" moving to the left; i assume red triangle you mean here, is the colored one (?) if so then why the 3rd picture, the colored triangle when from the most right side (2nd picture) to mid side and left side; if u said it's moved to the left, triangle by triangle then isnt the colored triangle supposed to move to the left hence the most right side and middle part will turn to colored triangle instead of the middle and right part (?); it's so annoying that I couldnt understand the "easy logic" that you meant, and I can't even explain it to you which part is it that confuses me and it's so frustrating, I really hope you can make step by step explanation using picture by picture instead of just saying it through word and expecting us to understand the "easy logic" coz I really dont understand it T.T; i tried to make it make sense but i just couldnt understand it
Bro, first: DON'T PANIC! 😃 Sorry your first comment got lost - comment function in TH-cam is buggy, unfortunately. In regards to your question, let me try to rephrase: When you go through the four shapes from the left to the right (1 to 4), from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, all pairs of red (or colored) triangles move one triangle pair to the left. Maybe it is easiest to see between 2 and 3. If the outer left pair of triangles has been colored, they reenter the next shape from the right (i.e., outer right pair of triangles is colored). Can you see it now?
For the online test, yes for sure!! Nobody notices anyway what you do when you are taking the test from home... If you have to take the test in the employer office, I am less sure - I suggest you to just ask for their conditions, since it is a fair question to ask! Good luck, Jack
You need to plug in the partial solutions for A, B and D (first three equations) into the last equations, so the only remaining variable in the last equation is C. Then, solve for C.

@@arranknight2379 Hi, finally realized it, try and imagine they are not triangles, just boxes. Imagine that you're downloading something and the shaded part is moving from right to left for each shape
ah i see it now. I think you explained it a bit confusing the colored triangles move one step. As in move the next shape they don’t move together and stay in shape. In other words the pair of color move by one step to other shape
It is indeed tough to be correct on all of them. One strategy is to know which are the more difficult ones to skip those and complete the other, less time-consuming ones
Let me try to rephrase: When you go through the four shapes from the left to the right (1 to 4), from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, all pairs of red (or colored) triangles move one triangle pair to the left. Maybe it is easiest to see between 2 and 3. If the outer left pair of triangles has been colored, they reenter the next shape from the right (i.e., outer right pair of triangles is colored). Can you see it now?
I translated your comment to English. I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but the interactive SHL General Ability test is not a strict multiple choice test. In many questions, you need to enter numbers into free text fields. I am glad you found my channel from Japan! 🙂

At 29:16, could another answer be 4:30-6:00pm? All the other rooms are being cleaned but room 4 is wide open.

Hi! Adding 30% to a number is mathematically equivalent to multiplying it by 1.3 . The equation 30%=0.3 is true (if you do not anymore remember why, I explain it here: th-cam.com/video/KKWDasj8NpI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FPEgEkT2kbZF5X4Y Clear now?
Hi Jack! I am slightly confused. Time stamp 22:30: Jerome and Maria seem to be the same. Jerome made target at exactly 10% and didn't exceed the goal, yet he's receiving a bonus. Maria made target as well at just over 10% at 437.8 deliveries, but I rounded it off to 437 instead yet she isn't receiving a bonus. Why is that?
Hi! Was just about to respond to your question on the pie chart / island C, but seems you have resolved it yourself in the meantime 🙂 Jerome indeed completed 770/700 = 10% deliveries, and his average rating is sufficient to earn the 25 USD bonus. Maria completed 437/398 < 10% deliveries (check your calculation once again!), which is why she has not earned the bonus. Clear now?
@@YOUinConsulting I am clear! Thank you 🙂
@@thabangmooki2229 Great!
does anyone try the simulation? I tried the numerical problem, I don't think it allocates the right amount of time to get problem done
Hi! I have checked them when creating the video 😉 The mock test times match those summarized in the chart at minute 11:22, which matches the thinking time during the actual standard test.
I am pretty sure a specific employer can ask SHL to assign more or less time for a test, if it wants to make it easier or more difficult for its applicants, respectively.
29:17 why conference starting at 10 pm is moved, while conference starting at 12 pm is extended before the meeting. I didn’t understand the logic.
Please re-read the question briefing. There it says that the 10 am conference starts 30 minutes earlier and that the 12pm conference both starts earlier as well as is extended.
Hi Jake, on deductive reasoning Calendar 2, why R&D needs to go last. Could you explain a but more?
Sure, you are referring to question 10 at minute 36:42. The Operations condition says: "Operations is scheduled with the same difference from sales as it is from R&D". Given the first 3 slots are taken already, Operations has to come fourth (otherwise, it would be impossible to have the Operations workshop be equidistant to two other workshops). Then Operations is two slots away from sales, so it must also be two slots away from R&D. For this reason, R&D must take place as the last workshop, and the remaining slot no 5 is assigned to Marketing. Clear now?
Thank you very much Jake!

Hey, this is an awesome video so thank you so much for inviting us to party on. I'm a little stuck on at 29:08 why is the only answer 11:30am? At 4:30pm, you'd fulfil all conditions and the max participants at peak is only 60.
Because you have to make sure that there is still 1 hour available after the meeting for the cleaning!
Thank you, that is correct! You cannot schedule the conference to 4.40 pm, because then there was no hour left for cleaning the room afterwards. Glad you have enjoyed the party 😉
@@YOUinConsulting this is a silly "gotcha" limitation and a poorly-designed/worded prompt. could be fixed simply by adding a sentence to the end of the prompt like, "note: all rooms must be cleaned after the last session of the day, and the cleaning staff leaves at 6pm." a conference center wouldn't even bother to list the 5pm-6pm block as available for scheduling if there's no possibility for anything to be scheduled in that block ever.
Hello, how do you get the value of 33.800 for the 4th equation at 18:45? Thank you
You have to plug in the upper three equations for A, B and D into the equation that says 250.000 = A+B+C+D. Then solve for C, and you obtain C = 33.800

25:40 I am confused... I think the movie loading time after upgrade should be 75mins/1.25 = 60mins? Could anybody tell me which one is correct?
Replace "25% faster" by "requires 25% less time", then it should be clear. If you multiplied by 1/1.25 = 0.8, then that would be equal to just 20% faster.

Thank you! I am glad you found this piece of treasure 🙂💍
Can you explain further question 1 of the Inductive reasoning ?
Happy to, could you specify for your question, i.e., where exactly do you require a clarification?
I also didnt understand that part T.T
Hi jack, I've got an SHL deductive test coming up and as I've requested extra tine, my time limit is 30 min. I was wondering if could deduce whether this is a non-interactive or interactive test? thanks for the great video
Kindly check the table at 11:18. Old deductive reasoning test takes 20 minutes, new one 18 minutes. Given you asked for the extra time, it is hard to tell. Good luck for your test!
Hiii 🎉 have a question please. What’s your tips to do these in time constraints? The question will have only a little over a minute to answer… how can these be done quickly??
Hi! In the video, I had pointed the fact that some question types demand more time than others. For instance, in the numerical reasoning test part, you should run rather quickly through the, e.g., line chart and ranking questions, so that you can spend a bit more time on the pie chart and bar chart questions.
If you feel you struggle for too long with a specific question, it is important that you do not get hung up to it for too much time and rather skip it and move on quickly.
Finally, yes the tests are designed to put you under time stress. It is unlikely you will be able to a) go through all questions AND b) answer all of them correctly.
However, you will never need to get 100% right. The cut-off score may depend on the competitiveness of your target employer; the more applicants, probably the higher the cut-off score.
@@YOUinConsulting hi Jack! thanks for the amazing video and material 🤩. I'm practicing for an SHL test to enter a chilean company. In line with @Slow_owl509 question. If I'm struggling in time with a question, I see for your answer that I can skip it.
My questions:
1. Can I go back later to the questions I have skipped so I can try to solve them?
2. Seeing the examples you shared of reports with the results after finishing a test, I assume that is better to skip than make a guess, you agree?
Thanks a lot again!
@@tomasdcm Smart questions, and if I had known the definite answers to them, I would certainly have included them in the video 😉
On 1) As far as I know: no. In the simulations, you can go back though
On 2) I am afraid whether or not you getminus points for wrongly answered questions is a secret I have not yet managed to uncover. How did you draw your conclusion on the basis of the result reports?
The point though is not to get hung up for too long on objectively difficult/time-consuming questions (whether you decide to just skip them or to make a random guess).
Hi Jake thank you so much for this amazing video.

Hi Jack, I need some help in 17:43 (question 2 Numerical Reasoning: Pie Chart). How did you calculate the equation to get A, B and D. Please can you help. Thank you
Hi there! Please browse through the comment section, this question has already asked a few times and some good answers have been given! 🙂
Plz explain the pie chart calculations
Hi! You refer to question 2 at 17:43, right? In order to solve for C, you need to plug in the solutions for A, B and D into the fourth equation, hence: 250.000 = (4xC) + (4xC - 92.200) + C + (C + 4200). This equals to 250.000 = 10xC - 88.000. Now, you solve for C and obtain C = 33800. I hope this clears up your confusion 🙂
hello. I have a total of 46 minutes for the general assesment and 20 minutes for the personality profile. Will it be interactive? Thanks
Kindly check the table at 11:18 of the video. 46 minutes is more than the usual 36 minutes. SHL offers many different test modules, maybe you can inquire a little more about the number of questions to expect?
@@YOUinConsulting im guessing its the 10 minutes time for reading the instructions and sample questions. I'm thinking right now if I can open the "start assesment" in my email so I can have a clue in the starting menu of SHL if its interactive or the MC one. I cant inquire the number of questions since the company based who sent me ths shl email is based from another country, and not from my HR.
@@joseph3662 I understand. Yes, you can do that. See minute 10:45 of my video :) Works?
@@YOUinConsulting Upon checking, yeah, its interactive. There are words like drag and activity based on the instruction page. Thank you so much for this vid. Party On Jack.
@@joseph3662 are you attempting this for Astra Zeneca?
Hello, according to my calculations, 10% of 72.000 is 7200. 72000 + 7.200 = 79.200 and not 80.000. It seems they make an approximation
Hi! Next time, kindly add question number / video minute for reference 🙂 But I got ya, your question is about question no 1/13 at 16:42. I am afraid your calculation is not correct. The task states that in 2021, the company had 10% fewer customers than in 2020. Equivalently, this means that the number of 2021 customers amounts to 90% of 2020 customers. In order to compute the number of 2020 customers from the given number of 72.000 customers in 2021, you need to multiply by the reciprocal value: 1/90%, or 1/0,9, or 10/9 (as it is written in my solution).
When applying a percentage reduction in one direction, in order to return to the original number, you always have to apply the reciprocal value. For instance, if you increase 100 by 10% (or multiply by 1,1), it yields you 110. If you then again (wrongly) reduce by 10%, you land at 99 instead of 100. Instead you have to multiply by reciprocal value 1/1,1=10/11 to return to 100.
If you are still unclear, take a look at my percentage calculation recap video 🙂

@@YOUinConsulting How do solve for C, i get that 92,200-4,200 gives the 88,000, and what makes uo the 10xc , is it the (4xc)+(4xc)+c+c. Thanks

Party on! Thank you for the helpful Video. I tried the SHL Practice Test and the time was so short, I could not manage it. Is it really about to finish everything correctly in the given time?
Thank you very much 🖖 Of course, the more questions you answer, the better! As I explain in the early parts of the video, every company may set the cut-off score individually and by itself, so the more questions you answer, the higher your odds of exceeding the required score.
If you found you struggled in SHL's official mock test modules, I suggest you invest some further time into test preparation (given the SHL mock tests are somewhat easier than the real ones).
Good luck for your prep & test! 👍
@@YOUinConsulting Thanks for responding so fast. I need to make the assessment until Monday and don`t have much time to practice. any tipps what to focus on? I probably won`t be able to cover everything.
That is still two days 🙂 Have you spotted certain weaknesses during taking the official SHL mock tests? Then I suggest you to focus on those test parts you struggled with the most. If you are unsure, then focus on the numerical reasoning test.
For preparation, the paid SHL test prepkit is very good, and two days would be enough to process its most important materials. If you are looking for further free resources beyond the SHL mock tests, you can for instance work with those I suggest in my prepkit on the other online tests, for instance McKinsey's or BCG's mock tests, which also test your analytical and quant skills.

How did you calculate the % shares - Barchart 25:44
Hi Merry, for each bar you have to divide the segment time by the total time for that bar. So for instance to get to the 53% in the top left, you need to divide 75/142.5 .
@@YOUinConsultinghey Jack, thank you for this brilliant video! Just wondering at this bar chart why there is a scale to 160 across the side?
@louishayes5898 very good question! In the real test, you would need to drag the borders of the bars to their correct levels instead of typing in the digits, so the legend here is just an illustration.
I feel so stupid lol, i dont understand the interactive test at all... i dont get it, the 1st question that you said is really easy, i find it so difficult, I couldnt understand what you mean by "the red triangle, just move one triangle to the left" i tried to make it make sense in my head but i just couldnt understand it... so are we moving the "colored triangle" to the left or the "white triangle" to the left, if we moved the colored triangle to the left then why the colored part changed (idk how to say it but it the white triangle become colored triangle (hourglass)). If you said the triangle move to the left side then why in the 3rd picture, the most right triangle part already become white triangle? isnt it supposed to be the most right and the middle part that become colored triangle? it's really hard to explain what im confused about in english and it annoyed me a lot.. so I wish you make more detailed in explanation using pictures step by step about the logic, instead of just saying it by word

I just wrote a freaking essay long question about inductive reasoning number 1 yet it s gone, well the point is, i dont understand what you mean by "red triangle" moving to the left; i assume red triangle you mean here, is the colored one (?) if so then why the 3rd picture, the colored triangle when from the most right side (2nd picture) to mid side and left side; if u said it's moved to the left, triangle by triangle then isnt the colored triangle supposed to move to the left hence the most right side and middle part will turn to colored triangle instead of the middle and right part (?); it's so annoying that I couldnt understand the "easy logic" that you meant, and I can't even explain it to you which part is it that confuses me and it's so frustrating, I really hope you can make step by step explanation using picture by picture instead of just saying it through word and expecting us to understand the "easy logic" coz I really dont understand it T.T; i tried to make it make sense but i just couldnt understand it
