What Are Cut-e Tests?
Cut-e tests are advanced psychometric assessments designed to measure a candidate’s cognitive abilities, behavioural tendencies, and job-related skills. Used extensively in recruitment, these tests help employers identify top talent across industries by evaluating performance in key areas such as numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, logical thinking, and personality traits.
For those wondering, “what is a cut-e test?”, it’s a rigorous evaluation that simulates real-world scenarios under time constraints to assess problem-solving, decision-making, and time management skills. Excelling in cut-e tests requires practice, strategy, and a solid understanding of the test format.
Cut-e Practice Tips
To perform your best in cut-e practice tests, start by familiarising yourself with their unique structure and question types. Focus on key skills like recognising patterns, interpreting data, and managing your time effectively. Reviewing cut-e assessment examples and solving cut-e test preparation exercises will help you refine your approach to complex scenarios.
Practising under timed conditions with guided resources ensures you’re ready to tackle every aspect of the test. Whether it’s numerical, verbal, or logical reasoning, targeted preparation through cut-e practice tests is the best way to succeed.
What Does the Aon/Cut-e Test Consist of?
AON Cut-e Test Types - Cut-e test Solutions tests are divided into general categories, and each category can include several specific tests. As you can see in the invitation above, you are likely to get several tests, each has different instructions and time limits, and sometimes multiple names.

Now, let's try some practice questions to get a feel for how AON's online assessments work!
Cut-e Test Sample Questions
The Scales Numerical test, part of the cut-e tests, evaluates your ability to analyse and interpret data from tables and graphs. You’ll decide if a statement is true, false, or undeterminable by locating the correct information in one of six tabs (e.g., Balance, Operating Expenses, Profits).
Important: Submitting an answer with the wrong tab open results in lost points, even if the answer is correct. With 37 questions in 12 minutes (20 seconds per question), time management is key to success in this cut-e numerical assessment.
Let’s review how to solve a Scales Numerical question.
Scales Numerical Sample Question
Statement: In fiscal years 6-8, on average, the women's department was the most profitable of all Flying Colour's departments.
What is the truth value of the statement?
Explanation:
First, let's decide which tab should contain the answer. Note that during the real test (and in the preparation pack) you will have to open the tab yourself.
The word "profitable" implies that the answer to this question is under the "Profits" tab. Once we open it, we see this table:
The table presents the varying share in profit for each of the different departments across a three-year period.
Look at the women's department's share in profit through FYs 6-8. In FYs 6 and 8, it had the largest share in profit, and in FY 7 its share was identical to that of the men's department. The women's department's share was never lower than any other department. Therefore, on average, this department was indeed the most profitable during those three years. The above statement is true.
Note: Another way to solve this question would be to calculate the actual average share in profit. We can see that the men's and women's departments were by far more profitable than any of the other departments, so we can focus on those two alone, calculate their averages, and then compare the results. However, this is likely to consume too much of your time and effort. When you need to compare a set of numbers, try to look at them before you decide on your plan of action. In this case, since the numbers of both departments are relatively close, and since there are only three years to consider, the comparison is relatively easy without any actual calculations.
Therefore, The answer is "True".
This cut-e test has several versions tailored to specific subjects, such as finance, consumer, and industry. While the subject changes the “flavour” of the test, practising with a finance version still effectively prepares you for an industry version.
Important: Even if you select the correct answer, answering while the wrong tab is open will result in lost points.
Our Cut-e test PrepPack offers six full cut-e practice tests, complete with the six-tab format, detailed explanations, and expert tips. Practise with accurate simulations to boost your confidence and maximise your performance in the cut-e numerical assessment.
This cut-e numerical assessment measures your ability to construct mathematical equations that achieve a given value. Your task is to add the correct values to complete the equation accurately.
The test consists of 15 questions to be completed in 5 minutes, giving you just 20 seconds per question. Important: This is not an online test—you will need to print it out.
Scales eql Sample Question

- The Aon Assessment PrepPack lets you practice using online tests for numerical reasoning scales eql, including detailed explanations and solutions for every question.
- Note that this question type is open rather than multiple-choice. It sometimes also has several different possible answers which are all correct!
Aon Cut-e Verbal Reasoning (Scales Verbal)
The Scales Verbal test, part of the cut-e tests, measures your ability to understand, analyse, and interpret written texts. You must decide if a statement is true, false, or undeterminable by selecting the correct tab and locating the relevant information.
Important: Submitting an answer with the wrong tab open will result in lost points, even if your answer is correct. The test includes 49 questions to be completed in 12 minutes, giving you just 15 seconds per question.
Like the Scales Numerical test, Scales Verbal uses a six-tab structure, with categories such as Organisational Structure, Values & Philosophy, Product Segments, and Corporate Strategy.
Scales Verbal Sample Question
Statement: Arclight sells Tablets and laptop computers, among other products, within its Peripheral Devices Group.
Is the statement:
- This test type has a number of versions focused on specific subjects (such as finance, consumer, and industry). However, the specific subject categorization only changes the 'flavor' of the test- so, for example, practicing with a finance version for the industry version of the test is no problem.
- The Aon Assessment PrepPack comes with 5 different practice tests covering 3 scales verbal versions, and 3 extra verbal reasoning exercises.
The Scales CLS test, part of the cut-e tests, measures your ability to identify rules and relationships between objects and apply them correctly. You must find the pattern that divides the grids into two colours, Orange and Blue, and then apply it to classify additional grids.
This test consists of 12 questions to be completed in 12 minutes, giving you one minute per question. In Scales CLS, you’ll analyse grids containing characters and/or numbers, determine the pattern, and use it to assign colours to other grids.
Scales cls Sample Question
Observe the six upper diamonds and determine the color of each of the bottom ones, from left to right:
The Scales IX test, part of the cut-e tests, measures your ability to recognise discrepancies. You’ll be presented with nine objects and must identify the one that doesn’t fit the pattern.
