Hi all , just trying to find out about the alpha numerical test requirements for a pass / fail.
I understand it’s timed but what is the time limit ? Is it a fail if you don’t finish in time or go over time? And once you’ve completed it do you get a result pretty soon after?
Thanks

The time limit is 5 minutes for the 40 questions which is perfectly doable. I'm not sure what happens if you don't complete them, but last time I heard back within a couple of days I think

A lot is being said on the forum at the moment about the time limits on this test but very little about the accuracy. I’m certainly no expert but having done the test myself recently I would say that if you got more than one of those questions wrong then it really won’t matter how fast you complete it.

It isn't too difficult to finish the test in the time allocated so I can only assume that they expect you to complete it, and accurately. I'm sure you don't get any extra marks for completing it quickly!

I agree, that I doubt they'd want to reward anyone specifically for rushing through it
