Anyone ever take one of these SHL aptitude tests online before an interview? How hard was it? Purely quant?

I have an engineering degree but that was 6 years ago and curious if i need to prep at all. I really want this job

Did an abstract/logical reasoning one (shapes/figures) for an interview a while back. Helped me quote a bit actually

If you really want the job; prepare as much as you can.

How do you suggest prepping?

In my case; I was told I would receive a logical/abstract reasoning test; so I googled around for as many as I could find and purchased a few. Not sure which kind of tests you'd receive but if you know; find some sample questions online (I'm sure you'd be able to) and just go through them.

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?
