Online Testing


Welcome to the Online Testing Hub at BBS Careers

Online testing is a key part of the recruitment process, providing a fair and objective way to assess your abilities. These tests, often referred to as psychometric tests, are used by employers to evaluate your suitability for a role.

We’ve partnered with Graduates First to help you enhance your career prospects. With detailed guides for over 100 top employers, our resources are designed to support you every step of the way.

Our online testing resources can help you:

  • Think about your career options.
  • Practise tests when you are applying for an internship or graduate role.

We have also recorded a masterclass on online testing for you to watch at your own convenience.
