SHL has developed the NZDF Aptitude Test to evaluate New Zealand Defence Forces Candidates' cognitive abilities. NZDF Aptitude Test is an integral part of the NZDF application process, and you may be required to take it for most positions available at the NZDF - whether a pilot or an accountant.
The test consists of 2 subtests- SHL General Ability and SHL Mechanical Comprehension Test. Like other army aptitude tests, these tests cover a wide range of subjects, including inductive reasoning, numerical reasoning, mechanical reasoning, and deductive reasoning.
The General Ability Test consists of 30 questions to complete within 36 minutes.
The SHL Mechanical Comprehension Test assess your ability to understand mechanical concepts. In each question, you'll be shown images of simple machines, tools, or objects, and you'll be asked to predict the outcomes or to describe how the objects shown would interact.
The SHL Mechanical Test consists of 18 questions to complete within 15 minutes.
It is well known that proper practice and familiarity with the test questions can significantly reduce stress and anxiety on test day and raise your chance for success. That's precisely why our experts at JobTestPrep have made a dedicated short free sample test for you.
The sample questions below don't include all the different types you may face in the test, but most of them. If you want to practice more types of questions, you can check out our PrepPack.
Note: since all numbers are given in hundred thousand ('000), the three zeroes can be ignored in the calculations.
To calculate the change in the company's revenues, in percentage, use the following formula:
% Change = ((New Value – Old Value) / Old Value) * 100
Where the Old Value is the company's revenue in 2012 ($123,000) across all calculations (since the rise in revenue is measured in comparison to this year's revenue specifically).
The New Value is the company's revenue in the year compared with 2012. This value is changing between years.
Therefore,
In 2013 the % raise is:
((130.38 – 123) / 123) * 100 = 6%
In 2014 the % raise is:
((157.44 – 123) / 123) * 100 = 28%
In 2015 the % raise is:
((193.11 – 123) / 123) * 100 = 57%
In 2016 the % raise is:
((178.35 – 123) / 123) * 100 = 45%
In 2017 the % raise is:
((189.42 – 123) / 123) * 100 = 54%
In 2018 the % raise is:
((199.26 – 123) / 123) * 100 = 62%
Which Image should be the next in the series?
In this series, there are 3 small shapes with different patterns of movement: Green, light pink, and yellow triangles.
In each step, the green triangle moves 2 steps in a clockwise direction.
The light pink triangle moves 2 steps in a counterclockwise direction.
Recognizing these two patterns will already lead you to the correct answer. The yellow triangle doesn't show a clear and repeated movement pattern, making it hard to identify the pattern that it follows. However, its' pattern is not necessary in order to find the solution.
