Kearney Online Test (SHL General Ability)

Question

Hello everyone,

Just got invited by Kearney to take on the SHL General Ability test , was wondering if anyone already did it ? Any advice, tips on what to expect and how to prepare ?

Thank you in advance for any help <3

Answer 1

Hi,

First of all, congrats on the invitation!
The SHL General Ability test is pretty standard expect numerical, logical, and verbal questions under tight time pressure.

Biggest tip: speed matters as much as accuracy. You won’t finish everything, so don’t get stuck; skip and come back.

For prep, just do a few timed SHL-style practice tests (you can find several sources on the web) to get used to the format; the goal isn’t to learn new math it’s to think quickly and stay calm under pressure.

Hope it helps

Congrats on the test invite!

It's pretty similar to all the other tests, covering numericals, logical reasoning, etc.

You'll find lots of examples online to practice. You might also want to reach out to the recruiter and ask them if they offer any free resources for practice too.
