Frequently Asked Questions
Q.1 : What is the duration of the test?
Ans : It takes around 1hr. – 5 hrs. approx. including breaks in-between. However the timings differ according to the age, qualification and the speed of the individuals. This is mainly so as there are timed as well as untimed tests.
Q.2 : Since I am busy can I split the testing in two/three different days?
Ans : Yes, you can with prior appointments.
Q.3 : Are parents required for testing and counseling? Can one parent accompany the child?
Ans : Parents need not sit for the testing session; however they are required for counseling session with the child especially students from Std IX to Std XII. We prefer both the Parents coming together for the session however in certain cases an exception can be made. Individuals above 18yrs can have the session with or without their Parents.
Q.4 : My child has already undergone Aptitude testing; can he/she take your test or only counseling?
Ans : Technically there has to be 6 months of gap between each testing [popularly known as Aptitude Testing]. You can either visit our office with the previous report or email us the same. We can have a Counseling Session. However it would be at the discretion of our Counselor whether to administer a different battery of tests or have a discussion based on the report.
Q.5 : Do you guide for selecting college?
Ans : We can give you guidelines for selecting college however, the final decision lies with parents / students.
Q.6 : Can I get session with the counselor of my choice?
Ans : Our team is constantly engaged with various activities indoors and outdoors, getting a session with the counselor of your choice may be difficult however, we would try to arrange but can’t assure. Moreover, our team is qualified and well equipped to handle the case.
Q.7 : Can we give these tests online?
Fact : No, our company does not provide any facility of online testing as of now.
Q.8 : Can a Gujarati/ Marathi/Hindi medium student appear for psychometric assessment? Do you have tests in regional language?
Ans : Yes, students from every medium of instruction can undergo assessment as most tests are in pictorial format. Test instructions will be given in Hindi/ Marathi if required.
Q.9 : When is the ideal time to give the Aptitude test?
Ans : After completion of 6 months in Std. IX (All boards) an individual is eligible to undergo vocational guidance tests. However for selecting subjects for ICSE/IGCSE/IB boards, one can undergo assessment after Std. VIII.
Q.10 : Any kind of preparation required?
Ans : No. these tests are not based on any syllabus/ subjects. So no preparation is required. Only a relaxed and a fresh state of mind is required.
Q.11 : Does a student need to carry his academic certificates?
Ans : No, a student doesn’t need to carry any kind of certificates during testing. The only thing needed to be carried is a pen (blue/black) and lunch box.
Q.12 : Can you check whether the child has marked answers seriously or abruptly?
Ans : Yes, we can mark out if the child has attempted the test seriously or not as the observation by the counselors starts right from the time of testing.
Q.13 : Will your test result help my child decide the right career option?
Ans : Yes. These tests measure the child’s inborn aptitude, personality as well as intelligence. So they give you an objective picture of the child provided the child has taken the tests seriously & sincerely. Hence, the child is than in a better position to figure out what the areas are that need to be explored/ avoided. Testing followed by counseling session surely helps in narrow down the choices and thus a better decision can be taken by child and the parents.
Q.14 : What if my child has taken the Testing from a different Centre/Counselor but still want to re-confirm the results?
Ans : Psychometric Assessments are tools for narrowing down the career choices. If the gap is anywhere less than 6 months between two testing sessions the ‘repetitive effect’ has its role to play. Thus no two Test Reports would show similar or almost similar results [provided the same battery of tests is administered properly]. This may lead to more confusion than re-solving the problem.
