Aon’s cut-e offers several pre-employment assessment tests, each differing in structure, duration, time limit, difficulty, and what they assess.

Aon’s cut-e tests can be divided into four groups: Aptitude Tests, Special Knowledge & Skills Tests, Logic Tests, and Behavioral Assessments.

You might be asked to take only one test, but it’s more likely you will be asked to take several different ones, to assess various aspects of your capabilities and personality.

You may be given the possibility to take each test on its own, and not all at once, giving you some time between one test and another.

Aptitude tests, also known as ability tests, assess your professional knowledge and abilities in specific areas of expertise, such as numerical, verbal, and mechanical reasoning.

Cut-e offers various aptitude and skills tests–

• A numerical reasoning test that assesses your ability to understand, analyze, and evaluate data from charts, diagrams, and tables.
  You will have 37 tasks to complete in 12 minutes.
  In each task, you will be presented with a statement, and you need to determine whether it is true, false, or cannot say according to numerical data displayed in different tabs.
  
  Let's see an example of a scales numerical question:

Tip💡: You can see that there are multiple tabs that you need to examine in order to find the answer to the question.
Not only that this is wherein lies the main difficulty of these questions, but submitting your answer while the wrong tab is on display will reduce points from your score, even if your answer is correct.

Tip💡: As you can see, the difficulty of the questions increases as you progress, the equation has more variables and the calculations are more challenging, especially under a strict time limit.

Tip💡: Like the scales numerical, you need to examine all the different tabs in order to find the information you are searching for, and you have to submit your answer while on the correct tab, otherwise the points will be reduced from your final score.  

A verbal aptitude test that assesses your ability to analyse, locate information and draw conclusions from given text.
You will have 24 tasks to complete in 8 minutes.

Like scales verbal, you will be presented with a text divided into different tabs by topics.
Each task is a statement, and you will need to determine if it’s true or false.

Tip💡: For each task, there is only one solution and only one informational topic required to evaluate the statement. Thus, you need to be sure of which tab you are looking for and pinpoint the accurate information.

Special knowledge and skill tests assess your abilities and competencies in various topics, as well as your capability to acquire new knowledge and adapt it quickly.

Here's a list of some of the cut-e skill tests –

1. Complete the sentence questions.
2. Matching words with their definitions.
3. correct spelling errors.

Tip💡: The options you are given in this test are deliberately confusing. This is why you should pay extra attention to every option before choosing your answer. In addition, wrong answers will subtract points, so when given the option, it is better to choose the question mark than guess.

• A mechanical reasoning test that assesses your mechanical and technical understanding, and your ability to interpret information from mechanical graphics.
  You will have 24 tasks to complete in 15 minutes.
• You will be presented with a series of multiple-choice questions regarding technical information. You need to choose the correct answer.
  
  

Tip💡: The most challenging part of this test is the ability to demonstrate complex technical knowledge that requires a deep understanding of machinery, measurements and mechanical processes in only 15 minutes.

Let's see how it looks:

Tip💡: Concentration is key. Pay close attention to each object as it is presented. Avoid distractions and ensure you are in a quiet environment.

Tip💡: As you can see, you are required to remain highly concentrated through the duration of the test, and not be distracted by the in-between tasks to be able to repeat the dot's sequence.

Tip💡: It's might seem like a simple task, but its difficulty lies in the dynamism of the instructions that change for each task. With only 2 minutes, your mind needs to stay sharp for every second.

Tip💡: The main difficulty of this test is not only to move the ball to the exit but also to succeed to do so with the least moves you can. Each move you make affects your score.

Logic tests assess your thinking patterns and logical conclusions competencies, which are essential in various jobs and positions.

Cut-e offers numerous logic tests –

Tip💡: As you can see, the rule to which the grids are assigned can be quite tricky to identify because it can be reflected in every detail in the grid – the number of letters or digits, their arrangement within the grid, etc.

Tip💡: There is only one correct answer, which means that the rule you choose has to be such that only one of the objects breaks it.

Tip💡: As you progress, the difficulty of the tasks increases, and more operation options are added.

Tip💡: Each symbol can appear only once in a row or a column. Thus, you have to pay extra attention to the location of every symbol and the number of times it spears in the grid.

Tip💡: The questions’ difficulty level increases throughout the test, and it will be more challenging to identify the governing rule, especially in a time limit of only 6 minutes.

Behavioural tests assess your demeanour, strengths, weaknesses, preferences, and work-related skills.

These are cut-e's most common personality and behavioural assessments –

Tip💡: Each statement assesses your personal capability to withstand unique pressure and your work-related behaviour. Therefore, you should be careful with your answer and take into consideration the position you are applying for and the culture of the organization.

Tip💡: You may find it difficult to rate the points according to what bests fit your personality and preferences and may have to compromise in your answer.

A situational judgment test (SJT) that evaluates your behaviour and judgment when presented with various work-related scenarios.

You will be presented with a chat simulation in which you receive incoming messages from colleagues and customers. You need to reply to all the messages by selecting from the predefined answers options or typing your answer into a free text box.

Here is an example of the chatAssess simulation:

Tip💡: When replying to the messages, you need to pay attention not only to the person’s request, but also to their position and ranking within the company, and give your answer accordingly, both in phrasing and in prioritizing.

Tip💡: You may encounter pairs of statements that are both equally agreeable or disagreeable, thus you will need to consider the best answer that will reflect your personality.
