*Try to solve the questions within the time limit by pressing the timer icon ⏲️

Have you noticed how long it took you to answer this?

On the real test, you’ll have approx. 14 seconds per question. And since more than half of this time is needed just for reading the question, you must learn how to quickly process the presented information and choose the correct answer.

💡 Within our PI Cognitive Assessment PrepPack™, you’ll learn advanced problem solving techniques that will help you answer questions lightning fast.

Here’s another sample question. press on the stopwatch and check how long it takes you to solve this:

Did you manage to solve it in 14 seconds?

Now, picture 50 questions coming at you one after another, constantly switching between numerical, verbal, and abstract formats.

So, you won’t have any time to get comfortable on any topic before you’re challenged to solve something entirely different.

Since there are often dozens and even hundreds of other candidates who compete for the same job opening, merely passing this assessment isn’t enough.

Therefore, to advance to the next hiring stage, it’s crucial that you get one of the highest scores among other candidates.

💡 Scoring high on the PLI test may carry weight on other important things (aside from getting a job offer), such as your starting salary and future promotions!

With the right practice, you can definitely pass the PI Cognitive assessment.

Fortunately, it’s not all bad news.

Even though the PLI really is a difficult test, it is totally manageable if you come properly prepared.

The extensive research our test experts have conducted has helped them create an accurate and tailored preparation pack for the PI Cognitive Assessment.

This preparation pack consists of 3 key elements. When you follow these key elements precisely, you can be well on your way to ensuring a high score on this challenging test.

So, here they are:

• Get to know your strengths and weaknesses
• Get to know the question types and test format
• Learn effective solving methods for each question on the test

Let’s tackle them one by one:

Let’s revisit the visual analogies question you encountered earlier. When facing such a question for the first time, most people take much longer than 14 seconds to identify the relationship. This is because they don’t know what to look for and end up getting creative, trying to spot any possible relationship as the clock keeps ticking.

To solve visual analogy questions quickly, start by identifying the relationship between the given pairs, focusing on common types such as shape, size, orientation, color, pattern, and number. Use a systematic approach by comparing features step-by-step between the pairs, ensuring the relationship is consistently applied.

Another effective strategy is to quickly eliminate wrong options that don’t fit the identified relationship, and look for simple patterns first, starting with the most obvious features like shape and size.

💡 It’s challenging to solve such questions in 14 seconds using “standard” methods. Therefore, in the full PrepPack™, we’ll teach you unique solving strategies that will greatly shorten your problem-solving time and provide enough practice to help you deeply understand and apply each solution strategy and its use cases.

The PI Cognitive Assessment preparation pack starts with a diagnostic test.

This test is a short version of the PI Cognitive Assessment and it includes the same question types and tight time limit you’ll encounter on the real test

The diagnostic test has one crucial purpose: to identify your weak areas that could potentially hurt your chances of success on the test.

💡 The PI diagnostic test developed by JobTestPrep is an exclusive practice assessment found nowhere else on the web. Fully adopting its insights can mean the difference between success or failure on the test.

Once you discover your weak areas, you get accurate instructions regarding the test sections you should focus in your practice sessions.

The first thing to do after you get your personal diagnostic report is to gain a deep understanding of the test structure and question types.

Here’s an overview of the PI Cognitive Assessment structure (a more detailed explanation can be found on the introduction video below):

Once you familiarize yourself with the test format, you can move on to the practice tests.

To ensure that you make the most out of this PrepPack™, first focus on your weaker spots (as mentioned on your diagnostic test report). Improving these weak areas is key to boosting your test score.

Now, let’s take another sample question. This time, from the numerical section of the PI Cognitive Assessment:

A challenging one, right?

On this test, such a question will be considered a medium-difficulty one and most people won’t be able to get to the right answer in 14 seconds.

Research has shown that improvement on cognitive ability tests is possible only when practicing the exact same tasks as on the real test.

Therefore, to pass the PI Cognitive Assessment, you must set your practice focus on these types of questions.

💡 On the full PI Cognitive Assessment PrepPack™, you’ll get plenty of practice opportunities using dozens of practice questions that highly resemble the ones you’ll face on the actual test.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have only had two days to practise on the website, but I feel it helped a lot. The math, and graphical problems in the actual PLI test I took have been easier than on the site, which is good. Then it has been possible to choose my native language on the actual test which of course helped on the synonym questions. My result on the test was above average, so I am very happy!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was informed by the employer to conduct the test just 4 days before the actual day of the test. I only had 4 days to get prepared. PLI is not an easy test cause we have to answers as many questions as possible within 12 min. Total number of questions 50. Job test prep PLI Test was a very helpful tool that helped me adjust with the requirements of the test and with the level of difficulty. If I hadn’t prepared with job prep I would have failed the test for sure.

I had no idea what to expect when told to take a PI IL test for an employment opportunity. Taking the practice tests and studying the formats greatly helped me out...I scored high and was given the offer I was hoping for. Thanks!
