Chiara
Good. Sometimes the explanation is a bit short for the harder questions but you can usually work it out from the steps given.
William Hartley
DB numerical
Deutsche Bank numerical test passed. The practice tests here are a close match in difficulty and the timer got me used to the pace. Reports after each test are detailed.
Sana
Best numerical practice ive found and I tried 3 sites. The solutions show the quickest method not just the correct one.
Felix Baumann, Berlin
BMW
Good preparation for the BMW online assessment, the numerical and inductive parts in particular. The real one had an English language section which obviously this doesn't cover. Still good.
Ravi Chandran, Coventry
Philips graduate programme. Inductive reasoning section is what I came for. Six inductive and six diagrammatic tests here, did each twice. Real test was the same flavour of pattern questions. Through to the next round.

What to expect from the A&O Shearman assessment
How the company hires, which tests to expect, how they are scored and how to prepare for them.
How does A&O Shearman hire?
A&O Shearman hires in five stages, and the online tests are the second, straight after your application. Three more stages follow for the people who get through.
The tests are the one stage with nobody on the other side: a score decides who goes through. They are also the one stage you can rehearse beforehand, which is what the rest of this page is for.
What happens at each stage, the interviews and the assessment centre included, is on our page about the A&O Shearman recruitment process.
For illustration only. We are not affiliated with A&O Shearman, and our practice tests are not its own.
Which tests does A&O Shearman use?
Expect a numerical and a verbal reasoning test: they are the pair most large employers set. Many add a logical test, a situational judgement test or a personality questionnaire, and technical roles often bring a mechanical test.
We do not know the exact set A&O Shearman will send you: it changes with the role you applied for, and from one intake to the next. Your invitation email names each test and its publisher, so read it before you start practising. Our six packages cover every one of these kinds, and our page about A&O Shearman psychometric tests goes through each, the personality questionnaire included.
For illustration only. We are not affiliated with A&O Shearman, and our practice tests are not its own.
How are A&O Shearman tests scored?
Your raw score is turned into a percentile: your place among everyone who has taken that test. A percentile of 80 means you did better than 80 in every 100 candidates in the comparison group. Employers rarely publish the percentile they cut at, and we do not know the one A&O Shearman uses.
Because the scale is relative, a couple more right answers near the middle of the group move you a long way up it. Our report gives you a percentile after every practice test, so you can watch yours climb.
For illustration only. We are not affiliated with A&O Shearman, and our practice tests are not its own.
How do you prepare for A&O Shearman tests?
Take as many practice tests as you can, and change the settings as you go. Start with the solutions showing, so every question you miss is explained on the spot.
Then switch the timer on, take away the option to skip, and add negative marking, so a wrong guess costs you a mark. After a few tests like that, the real A&O Shearman test is one more run of something you have already done.

Questions about A&O Shearman tests
Short answers to what candidates ask most.
The full FAQ covers payments and your account. For anything else, write to support@aptitude-tests.co.uk.
Most likely a numerical and a verbal reasoning test, the pair most large employers set. Some roles add a logical test, a situational judgement test or a personality questionnaire. We do not know the exact set at A&O Shearman, so go by your invitation email, which names each test and its publisher.
No. Real test questions are confidential and drawn from large banks, so nobody can give you the actual paper. Ours are written in the same formats, with the same kinds of question and similar time limits, which is what makes the real one feel familiar.
Yes. Numerical Reasoning Test 1 has 11 questions and a 20-minute limit, with solutions and a full report, and you can take it without an account.
Early: they are stage 2 of 5, straight after your application. The invitation usually arrives by email with a deadline a few days away, and you sit the tests at home.
£29.99 for all 59 tests, with 3 months unlimited access, or £9.99 for a single package. There is no auto-renew, and every paid plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
As many as you can fit in before the real one. What matters is how you take them: timed, and with the solution read for every question you miss.
Yes. Every paid plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee. If something is wrong with the platform or the tests, email us within 14 days of buying. If you have started no more than three tests in a package, or four on the All-in-One, we refund what you paid. Other conditions apply.
