    Royal Dutch Shell tests

    Shell numerical

    Shell graduate cognitive assessment has a numerical part and this pack covered it well. Percentages, ratios, reading tables fast. 14 tests was more than enough. Through to the next round.

  • Dan Morgan, Bristol

    Revolut

    Revolut ops role had a logical test. Did the inductive and diagrammatic ones here for a week. Passed first go. Decent price too.

  • 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.

What to expect from the Royal Dutch Shell assessment

How the company hires, which tests to expect, how they are scored and how to prepare for them.

How does Royal Dutch Shell hire?

Royal Dutch Shell hires in five stages, and the online tests are the third. Two 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 Royal Dutch Shell recruitment process.

Which tests does Royal Dutch Shell 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 Royal Dutch Shell 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 Royal Dutch Shell psychometric tests goes through each, the personality questionnaire included.

How are Royal Dutch Shell 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 Royal Dutch Shell 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.

How do you prepare for Royal Dutch Shell 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 Royal Dutch Shell test is one more run of something you have already done.
