What are the weightings of each section of the Bain SOVA Test?

 For example, does the numerical reasoning section contribute more significantly to the overall score compared to personality assessment, or are they weighted equally?

They have minimal score that you need to achieve in each section in order to pass the test

Hi there,

AFAIK, all sections need to be cleared (both the reasoning and the personal sections - if that's part of your SOVA).

Florian
