answers and also those questions that I
want you to try a very warm welcome to
the psychometric testing tutorial my
name is Richard McMunn that's me there
in the middle - bald chap and I'm going
to give you a number of practice test
questions within this tutorial I'm going

red button and that way you won't miss
out on any of the fun and exciting
tutorials I'm uploading every week and
I'd also appreciate it if you gave the
video a like thank you thank you very
much so let's get straight into the
tutorial and take a look at a typical
kind of psychic about cheat test
questions so I'm going to give you a
tutorial walkthrough give you some tips
on how to answer it quickly and then I'm
gonna get you to try some questions
yourself question number one it's a
numerical type of question mr. Brown
wants to purchase a suit a pair of smart
shoes a belt and a tie which cost 119
pounds 99 24 pounds 97 14 pound 50 and
12 pounds respectively how much change
will he have from 205 pounds is it 33
pounds 66b 33 pound 54 c 34 pound 54 or
D 45 pounds 54 so you'll see those
numbers are pretty closely aligned now
the only important pieces of information
we need are the numbers themselves now
there is usually a lot of distracting
information in these kind of questions
so it says there mister Brown he wants
to buy a suit pair of smart shoes are
built and that information is designed
to confuse you so all you have to do is
work is its focus on the calculation so
all we need to do is to add all of those
items up to get the answer
171 pounds 46 and then do the
calculation which is 205 pounds because
that's how much he has and the question
is how much change really out from the
amount - 1 7 140
and we get the correct answer which is B
33 pounds 54 so the tip there is not to
focus on all of the distracting
information look for the calculation so
that's the tip look for the calculation
so let me get you to try one and you can
use the calculator if you want to now
it's your turn
please put your answer to question 2 in
the comment section below this video for
marking and I'll come on in each day and
mark them for you ok so here we go
similar kind of question Jessica's mom
wants to buy her a pair of Armani shoes
lucky Jessica a skirt from Primark maybe
not so lucky a hat and a pair of jeans
which cost 297 pounds 11 pounds
seventeen pounds 25 and 69 pounds 50
respectively how much change will she
have from 410 pounds easy a 25 pounds 12
b 15 pounds 25 C 12 pounds 55 D 15
pounds 12 or e none of these so you have
the time it takes this timer on the
right hand side to come down to the
bottom and please put your answer in the
comment section below the video for
marking here we go
answer that in a time if you find the
time I've given you there it's pretty
tight you will get usually a bit more
time than that in a typical psychometric
test so if you need more time please do
pause the video it's important that you
get the calculation correct and don't
forget focus on the calculation not the
distracting information right try
another one please put your answer to
question three in the comment section
below the video for marking here we go
bill wants to buy some refreshments
during halftime at the sporting event if
bill buys an 8-pound 45 burger big
burger a 7-pound 45 milkshake a three
pound ten packet of crisps and a four
pound 75 bag of chips apart from having
severe indigestion how much change will
he out from 24 pounds is it a 23 pounds
75 be one pound 25 see two pound 25 d 25
pence or e none of these so you have the
time it takes the timer to go down to
put your answer in the comments section
below here we go okay
well done brilliant stuff let's move on
to another kind of question now so this
is a different kind of one one that
utilizes maps but is a little bit more
trickier so stick around questions for
two children want to balance on a seesaw
so there's a seesaw their child a weighs
25 pounds and six five meters away from
the fulcrum now that is the fulcrum
point if you didn't know most people
don't but that's the pivot point there
the fulcrum and that word is used a lot
in these kind of tests so child a which
is there
weighs 25 pounds and six five meters
away from that fulcrum point child B he
weighs 50 pounds how far away from the
fulcrum should child be sit in order to
balance the seesaw so the plan is to
balance it easy a five meters be 2
meters C 2.5 meters or D 1 meter the
answer is C 2.5 meters but how do we
calculate this quickly well there is a
method here we go so the answer is C 2.5
meters now remember this weight times
distance must be equal for two uneven
weights to balance so the weight of
child a which is 25 so you've got 25
pounds there times 5 meters which is the
distance gives you 125 now to calculate
the distance of child B even though he
or she is heavier all we do is take that
distance 125 divide it by their weight
50 to get 2.5 okay so I'll just quickly
repeat that to get the to get the
distance the weight times the distance
of the first one they must be equal for
2 uneven weights to balance a child a is
25 pounds times that by the five meters
gives 125 and then all we have to do is
go 125 divided by the weight of child B
which is 50 to get the answer 2.5 right
you have got this please put your answer
to question 5 in the comment section
below the video for marking so we've got
the same seesaw with the fulcrum point
there here's the question two children
want to balance on the seesaw child a
weighs 50 pounds and sits ten meters
away from the fulcrum child B weighs a
hundred pounds
how far away from the fulcrum should
shall be said in order to balance the
seesaw easy a 5 metres be 2 metres C 10
metres or D 1 meter and you've got the
time it takes the time and to go down
2-0 to put your answer in the comments
section below here we go brilliant well
done let's move on to a different kind
of question I hope you're enjoying these
and question number six if cog AE
rotates anti clockwise or counter
clockwise if used used to that word
how many cogs will rotate clockwise is
it a 1 B 2 C 3 or D 4 so the first thing
we always need to know with these kind
of question is which way is
anti-clockwise and which way is
clockwise so if you think of a clock
face let's say that is the face of a
clock clockwise is the way the hands
would go round to the right an anti
clockwise or counterclockwise is then
going backwards so whenever you think of
anti clockwise counter clockwise or
clockwise always picture a clock face
and the way the hands go around normally
that's clockwise so how do we answer
this question well it says if cog a
rotates anti-clockwise which is that way
how many cogs will rotate clockwise well
B because they alternate would be
clockwise C will be anti-clockwise D
would be clockwise an e would be
anti-clockwise so they aren't say simply
be two of them would rotate clockwise
which would be D and B ok your turn
please put your answer to question seven
in the comment section below the video
for marking here we go if cog B which is
that one there rotates clockwise you
know which way clockwise is which way
will cog either Tapan rotate you see a
clockwise be anti-clockwise and you've
got the time it takes the time to go
down to zero
to answer the question here we go
