Job Assessments
Master the tests that help employers evaluate your skills
How to Prepare
Know What to Expect
Read the job description and company's recruitment process carefully. Ask alumni or CSO about previous student experiences. Email cso@lums.edu.pk to get connected to mentors who can help you understand what to expect.
Practice with Purpose
Use free practice platforms like:
- JobTestPrep
- AssessmentDay
- 123test
- HackerRank (for coding)
- CaseBasix
Focus on your weak areas: numerical, logical, verbal, etc.
Simulate the Real Thing
- Take practice tests in a quiet space
- Time yourself
- Use a computer if that's the test format
Reflect & Improve
- Review answers to understand your mistakes
- Use learning tools (YouTube, Khan Academy) to brush up on concepts
Get Feedback
- Talk to a CSO advisor to build your assessment strategy
- Connect with alumni or fellow students, who have taken the test previously.

When Should You Start Practicing?
Start 2–4 weeks before peak application cycles (usually in Fall and Spring). Some employers send tests immediately after you apply.
Pro tip: Build assessment practice into your study routine — 1-2 hours/week is enough to stay sharp.
