Online Aptitude Testing We now have a subscription to Kenexa so that you can take a full length, online, timed numeracy and verbal reasoning test similar to those used by a wide range of graduate recruiters and receive immediate feedback on your performance. To receive log-in details for this test please email us from your UCL email account including your full name and student ID (UPI) number which can be found on your ID card. UCL GradClub members can register using a personal email address but must have a validated GradClub membership card and include the number that's on this. Alternatively, you can drop in to the Careers Service with current UCL ID.

Skills Workshops and other Events:

At certain times of year, the Careers Service runs events which can be useful for aptitude test and assessment centre preparation. These include:

• Employer led Skills sessions (1-1 or interactive group sessions focussing on interview/assessment centre skills)
• Employer Presentations (Talks by companies about their opportunities which usually include tips on preparing for their particular interview process)
• Employer Fairs / Networking Events (A chance to network with employers and ask informally about interview techniques and aptitude tests)
• Careers Adviser led Interview Skills workshops specifically for Masters, PhD or International students

Check our current Events Programme for more details and/or register with UCLAlert to be notified of events by email.

Short Guidance sessions can be used to discuss aptitude tests or to help you understand what employers look for with different selection methods. Just book on the day.

If you have been invited to a real interview, a Practice Interview with an Adviser is the best way to experience a real interview situation, get feedback on your performance and tips on how to improve.
