AlixPartners folks - is the SHL/wonderlich test designed to be completed? I’ve been trying a few practice tests and I can never finish the whole test on time? Any advice on how to strategize answering the qs?

You’ll be fine. I never practiced and I made it through. Just make sure you get enough sleep and practice doing some math without a calculator

The reason I am worried is because of the charts and figures I’ve encountered in the practice tests that take me more than 30 seconds to solve

Iirc there are two logic-type assessments and two personality based assessments. The logic ones are time constrained with question difficultly increasing. Timing is tight, but you should aim to complete all of them.

It is not the Wonderlic, but the timing feels similar. I.e, work quickly.

This is the way. Speed is a priority.

Yes should be completed. Practice is the only answer here, but a time allocation strategy would help. Only give yourself a certain amount of time per question and when you run out just guess and move on.

The Wonderlich is the 50q in 12 minute test, right? As long as your above 42 correct answers, You’ll land well within the top 2%

It isn’t literally a Wonderlic test

Practice helped me realize I’m too slow at solving deductive reasoning questions- so I knew to not spend more than 20-30 seconds on those and focus more time on getting other question types right. Still got invited to continue interviewing despite probably getting most of that question type wrong.

What is the cutoff, do we ever come to know? Also what if you are not able to complete all? How much is the penalty?
