What Is Test Partnership?

Test Partnership is a psychometric assessment company that filters potential candidates for high-demand positions such as pilots and investment analysts at some of the top-rated companies and organizations worldwide.

Among the major companies and organizations hiring its services are Qatar Airways, Moelis & Company investment bank, Balfour Beatty, London Fire Brigade, and most of the UK fire departments.

Test Partnership tests aren't exactly a walk in the park since they are of a medium-high difficulty level. Some of them are reminiscent of the notorious Watson Glaser test, which is considered to be one of the most challenging tests in the employment market.

However, with on-point preparation, you are sure to improve your chances of succeeding and get a step closer to your dream job.

It's time to move on to some really useful information. We gathered for you the best tips and practices that will help you ace the Tp Test with the highest score possible.

What Are Test Partnership Tests Types?

Test Partnership Insights™ Numerical Reasoning Test

Questions: 15 | Time: 15 minutes 

Test Partnership Numerical Reasoning Test is designated to evaluate candidates’ graph reading skills and their ability to logically assess numbers and data.

Each question contains a graph filled with information, and you’ll be asked a couple of calculous questions about the data presented in the graph.

You are allowed to use a calculator and a piece of paper, therefore focus your practice on understanding the questions rather than in the calculation act itself.

The sample question below simulates TP numerical questions in terms of their graph-based nature, their level of difficulty, and the excessive quantity of answer options:

Numerical Reasoning Sample Question:

The absolute increase in investments between 2010-2011 was identical to that between 2009-2010.

Approximately, what was the percentage increase in investments between 2010-2011?

 Please choose the correct answer from the options below:

120

118

60

66

67

55

57

49

43

Correct Answer

Incorrect Answer

The absolute increase between 2009-2010 was: (140-60) = 80 million.

Therefore, in 2011 total investments were: (140+80) = 220 million.

Now, calculate the % change between 2010 and 2011:

(220/140)-1=0.57=57%

Note: Calculating the total investments in 2011 is redundant in this case, as we already know the size of the increase between 2010 and 2011: 80 million. An increase of 80 million out of the original 140 million in 2010 is an increase of (80/140)*100 = 57%.

Tip: Practice by solving graph problems using statistical elements such as percentages, average, and basic mathematical skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. 

Test Partnership Insights™ Verbal Reasoning Test

Questions: 20 | Time: 15 minutes.

Test Partnership Verbal Reasoning Test is designated to assess your reading comprehension and verbal critical reasoning abilities. Each question will begin with a statement of facts that you are to regard as true.

After each statement of facts, you will find several possible inferences - conclusions that some persons might draw from the stated facts. You are to examine each inference separately and to make a decision as to its degree of truth or falsity.

The degree of truth or falsity in the TP verbal test is rated on a 5-item scale:

• Definitely True
• Probably True
• Insufficient information
• Probably False
• Definitely False

This fetcher makes the Test Partnership Verbal Reasoning Test extremely challenging compared to other Verbal Reasoning Tests.

What Are the Best Tips to Help Me Ace the TP Tests?

The three main causes of difficulty on Test Partnership tests are:

1. Time limit - Only 45-60 seconds per question.

2. Answers - An excessive number of options from which to choose the right answer makes the probability of "pulling it off" with an educated guess inconceivably low.

3. Adaptive test - The test's difficulty level increases when you answer correctly and decreases if you're wrong. The harder questions will credit more points for your final score than the easier ones.

How to Overcome the time limit challenge?

• Read the questions (Numerical) or the statements (Verbal) before reading the text/graph – it will assist you in looking for relevant information in the text and prevent time loss.
• Take it easy – Remember, in tests like these where the time is against you, rationalization is your best friend. Therefore, make sure you relax prior to the test. A short meditation or breathing exercise can be very beneficial. 

How to choose the right answer?

• Elimination - If you have read the question carefully but couldn't figure out the correct calculations, the best strategy will be to eliminate options. First, write down on a piece of paper all the possible answers. Then, make a strike-through on the most far-off options. Narrow it down until you have only 2-3 possibilities left. Now choose the most plausible option or else take a guess.
• Don’t assume anything outside of the text – this is the key to success in the verbal reasoning test. All the information you need to know is in the related paragraph! Therefore, relate only to the given information and not your general knowledge or opinion.
• Use and memorize the following table (for the verbal test):

How to Succeed in an adaptive test?

• Start strong - The first question in the Test Partnership adaptive tests has an enormous impact on your score. As we explained earlier, adaptive tests adjust the questions' difficulty level to the examinee, based on their performance in the previous questions. Thus, the first question (which will also be of lower difficulty comparatively the upcoming questions) is your chance to collect some big scores.
• Think positive - Adaptive tests can sound intimidating at first. If you are an over-thinker like myself, you may try to figure out while doing the test whether you got the previous question right based on the difficulty level of the current one, thus losing your thread of thought and some very precious time. Perhaps you won't get the first question right and then lose your hopes for the rest of the test. However, it is crucial to understand that adaptive tests don't benefit only the top achievers, but also the weaker ones. Think about it - on regular assessments, everyone will get the same questions based on the average level. Rather than present to the medium-weak examinee hard questions that they may not be able to solve, adaptive tests present them with slightly easier questions, thus increasing their chances of getting it right and boosting their score.
• Practice! – It will help you improve your time management and boost your chances to maximize your final grade.
