SHL Assessments: Provider Overview and Practice Guide

We may earn a commission from some links on this page. Recommendations remain editorially independent.

SHL is an assessment publisher. When an invitation says “SHL test,” it usually means one or more employer-selected products from SHL’s portfolio, not a single fixed exam shared by every employer.

SHL’s current public product families include behavioral assessments, personality assessments such as the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ), cognitive assessments under the Verify brand, skills and simulations (including coding simulations), job-focused assessments, and virtual assessment and development centers. Formats, timing, calculator rules, and score reports vary by product and by how the employer configures the process.

This guide helps you identify which SHL family your invitation names, understand how publisher-level guidance differs from product-specific guides, and practice transferable numerical, verbal, inductive, deductive, calculation, checking, and workplace-judgment skills with original educational questions. Always follow the product name, timing, and on-screen rules in your invitation and the current SHL candidate materials.

The practice questions on this page are original educational exercises. They are not official SHL, employer, recruiter, assessment-platform, AptitudeTests.org, or JobTestPrep questions, and they do not reproduce a confidential Verify form, OPQ item set, coding prompt, norm table, percentile report, or live SHL interface.

Key takeaway: SHL is a provider with multiple product families. Verify cognitive modules, OPQ personality questionnaires, situational judgment tools, job simulations, and coding or language assessments are different products. Your employer chooses the mix; no single SHL format applies to every invitation.

What this guide covers

This page is the publisher overview for SHL. It summarizes the current portfolio at a high level and links to deeper practice for common reasoning skills.

It is not a substitute for product-specific guides. For OPQ personality format and dedicated practice, use the SHL OPQ32 guide. For general numerical, verbal, inductive, or deductive skill practice, use the matching cognitive aptitude guides.

Current SHL product families

Current SHL assessment families candidates may see, based on SHL's public assessment portfolio

Family	What it typically measures	Candidate note
Cognitive assessments (Verify)	Numerical, verbal, inductive, deductive, and general ability reasoning	Interactive and standard multiple-choice formats both appear in SHL practice materials; your invitation names the module
Personality assessments (OPQ)	Preferred workplace behavioral style	Forced-choice style questionnaire; see the dedicated OPQ guide
Behavioral and situational judgment	Workplace judgment and preferred responses	Employer- and role-specific scoring profiles
Skills and simulations	Job tasks, coding simulations, office skills, and related practical work	Content follows the role family; not a universal SHL exam
Job focused assessments	Role-specific competency packages	Configured per employer and role
Virtual assessment and development centers	Remote assessment-center style exercises	Platform and exercise set vary by process

SHL’s product catalog and candidate practice pages also mention related tools such as video interviews, email writing, reading comprehension, calculation and checking tests, mechanical comprehension, and Microsoft Office simulations. Treat those as separate products unless your invitation groups them into one session.

SHL Verify cognitive modules

Verify is SHL’s cognitive assessment brand. An employer may assign one module or a combination. Common reasoning themes include:

• Numerical reasoning: tables, charts, ratios, percentages, and multi-step calculations. See Numerical Reasoning.
• Verbal reasoning: short passages with true, false, or cannot say judgments based only on the text. See Verbal Reasoning.
• Inductive reasoning: pattern and rule discovery in shapes or diagrams. See Inductive Reasoning.
• Deductive reasoning: applying stated rules or premises to decide what must follow. See Deductive Reasoning.
• General ability: a mixed battery that can combine several of the themes above.

SHL publishes both interactive (for example drag-and-drop) and standard multiple-choice practice experiences for some of these themes. Do not assume every live Verify module is adaptive, interactive, or multiple-choice. Question counts, time limits, navigation, and calculator permission are product- and invitation-specific. For a broader category introduction, see Cognitive Ability Test.

Calculation and checking tests

Separate from longer Verify reasoning modules, SHL’s candidate practice set includes shorter speed-oriented formats:

• Calculation tests emphasize fast, accurate arithmetic.
• Checking tests emphasize comparing two sets of information and spotting matches or differences quickly.

These formats are common for administrative, data-entry, clerical, and operations roles. Their timing and aid rules are not the same as every Verify reasoning module.

Situational judgment and work simulations

Some SHL processes include a situational judgment test (SJT). An SJT presents a workplace scenario and asks for the most effective, least effective, or most and least appropriate response. Scoring is typically compared with employer-defined or role-defined response profiles. See Situational Judgment Test.

SHL also offers job simulations and job-focused assessments that place candidates inside realistic tasks, such as contact-center workflows, inbox prioritization, or role-specific decisions. These are configured per employer and role family.

Coding, language, and other skills assessments

SHL’s skills and simulations family includes coding simulations and related technical hiring tools. Public SHL materials describe coding assessments that evaluate programming ability in a familiar IDE-style environment, with language and role coverage that depend on the product selected for the vacancy.

Language and communication products can appear separately from Verify reasoning. Candidate practice materials list examples such as email writing and reading comprehension. Do not treat coding or language assessments as interchangeable with numerical or verbal Verify modules.

OPQ personality and the Motivation Questionnaire

SHL’s personality family includes the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ), including the current OPQ32r presentation described in SHL materials. OPQ measures preferred workplace behavioral style. It does not use a conventional factual answer key. For format details and OPQ-specific practice, use the SHL OPQ32 guide.

SHL materials also describe motivation and behavior-based questionnaires that explore what energizes a candidate at work or how they tend to behave. Do not treat personality, motivation, and cognitive Verify results as the same product, even when they appear in one hiring process.

Answer personality and work-style items consistently and honestly. Do not try to fake an ideal profile or defeat consistency checks.

Provider rules versus employer configuration

What SHL controls versus what the employer usually controls

Topic	Typical owner
Product catalog and module design	SHL
Which products appear in your process	Employer
Sequence and deadlines	Employer configuration and invitation
On-screen timing, calculator, and navigation rules	Current product instructions for your assigned module
Norm group, benchmark, and hiring decision	Employer

SHL Quick Facts

Publisher-level facts for SHL invitations

Topic	Current evidence
Provider	SHL
Cognitive brand	Verify (module names and formats vary)
Personality product	OPQ / OPQ32r
Universal question count	No publisher-wide count
Universal time limit	No publisher-wide limit
Universal passing score	No publisher-wide cutoff
Scoring pattern for cognitive modules	Often raw score plus percentile against a comparison group; employers set decisions
Environment	Proctored, unproctored, or mixed depending on employer configuration

How to identify which SHL assessment you are taking

1. Read the exact product or module name in your invitation.
2. Note the stated time limit and section count from the invitation or live instructions, not from a forum post.
3. Check whether the platform offers an example or practice item before the timed section.
4. Confirm whether the session is proctored, unproctored, or includes a later verification stage.
5. If the invitation names OPQ32 or OPQ32r, use the SHL OPQ32 guide for personality-specific preparation.
6. If you are unsure, ask the recruiter who sent the invitation rather than assuming a generic SHL battery.

After you confirm the products named in your invitation, optional third-party practice can help with pacing and familiar question styles. JobTestPrep SHL assessment preparation covers several common SHL-style modules and also presents paid preparation options beyond any free sample questions. JobTestPrep is an independent commercial resource. It is not SHL, the hiring employer, or the official assessment administrator. Compare coverage with your invitation before you purchase.

AptitudeTests.org SHL aptitude practice is an independent preparation platform operated by TestsCareers. It is not SHL or the official assessment administrator.

SHL percentile scoring

SHL cognitive modules are commonly reported as a raw score alongside a percentile rank against a comparison group, rather than a single universal pass or fail cut score. A percentile shows how your result compares with others in that group; it does not mean you answered that percentage of questions correctly. See Percentile Rank Explained. Employers, not SHL or this site, decide what threshold matters for a given role.

45 Free SHL-Style Practice Questions

The 45 questions below are original educational practice questions written for this page. They are not official SHL, Verify, OPQ32, Motivation Questionnaire, employer, or AptitudeTests.org questions. They do not reproduce any proprietary SHL item, diagram, passage, scoring key, norm table, or live assessment interface. The images below are original simple diagrams created for this guide and are not copies of any SHL screen or interface.

Section 1: Numerical Reasoning (questions 1-8)

1. A warehouse processed 240 orders on Monday and 300 orders on Tuesday. What was the percentage increase from Monday to Tuesday?

A. 20% B. 25% C. 30% D. 60%

Correct answer: B

Increase = 60. 60 / 240 = 0.25 = 25%.

2. A team completes tasks at a rate of 18 per hour. At that rate, how many tasks will the team complete in 2 hours 30 minutes?

A. 36 B. 40 C. 45 D. 54

Correct answer: C

2.5 hours x 18 tasks per hour = 45 tasks.

3. The table below shows units shipped by region in one week.

Region	Units shipped
North	420
South	260
East	180
West	140

What fraction of total units shipped came from the North region?

A. 1/2 B. 2/5 C. 3/5 D. 3/4

Correct answer: B

Total = 420 + 260 + 180 + 140 = 1,000. North share = 420 / 1,000 = 0.42, which is closest to 2/5 (0.40) among the four options listed.

4. A price of $80 is reduced by 15%, then the reduced price is increased by 20%. What is the final price?

A. $76.50 B. $81.60 C. $85.00 D. $88.00

Correct answer: B

$80 x 0.85 = $68. $68 x 1.20 = $81.60.

5. Two machines together produce 150 units per hour. Machine A produces twice as many units per hour as Machine B. How many units per hour does Machine A produce?

A. 50 B. 75 C. 90 D. 100

Correct answer: D

Let B = x, A = 2x. x + 2x = 150, so 3x = 150, x = 50. Machine A = 2x = 100.

6. A courier’s average delivery time was 42 minutes over 5 deliveries. After a sixth delivery, the average dropped to 40 minutes. How long, in minutes, did the sixth delivery take?

A. 24 B. 28 C. 30 D. 36

Correct answer: C

Total after 5 deliveries = 5 x 42 = 210 minutes. Total after 6 deliveries = 6 x 40 = 240 minutes. Sixth delivery = 240 - 210 = 30 minutes.

7. A ratio of full-time to part-time staff on a shift is 3:2. If there are 12 full-time staff, how many part-time staff are there?

A. 6 B. 8 C. 9 D. 10

Correct answer: B

3 parts = 12 staff, so 1 part = 4. Part-time = 2 parts = 8.

8. A chart shows that inventory accuracy improved from 88% to 96% over one quarter. Expressed as a percentage-point change (not a percentage increase), how much did accuracy improve?

A. 8 percentage points B. 8% C. 9.1 percentage points D. 96 percentage points

Correct answer: A

96 - 88 = 8 percentage points. This is different from a percentage increase, which would be roughly 9.1%.

Section 2: Verbal Reasoning (questions 9-16)

For questions 9 through 16, read the short passage, then decide whether the statement is True, False, or Cannot Say based only on the information given in the passage. “Cannot Say” means the passage does not provide enough information to decide either way, even if the statement sounds plausible.

Passage A (for questions 9-11): The distribution center runs two shifts. The morning shift starts at 6 a.m. and the evening shift starts at 2 p.m. Each shift is scheduled for eight hours. Overtime requests must be approved by a shift supervisor at least one day in advance.

9. The evening shift ends at 10 p.m.

Correct answer: True

2 p.m. plus an eight-hour shift ends at 10 p.m., which follows directly from the stated start time and shift length.

10. The morning shift has more staff than the evening shift.

Correct answer: Cannot Say

The passage does not mention staffing levels for either shift.

11. Overtime can be approved on the same day it is worked.

Correct answer: False

The passage states overtime requests must be approved at least one day in advance, which rules out same-day approval.

Passage B (for questions 12-14): A retailer’s return policy allows unworn items to be returned within 30 days with a receipt. Items marked as final sale cannot be returned. Store credit is issued when a receipt is not available but the item is otherwise eligible.

12. An unworn item without a receipt can never be returned.

Correct answer: False

The passage states store credit is issued when a receipt is not available but the item is otherwise eligible, so a return outcome (store credit) is still possible.

13. Final sale items cannot be returned even within 30 days.

Correct answer: True

The passage states final sale items cannot be returned, without exception mentioned for timing.

14. Most customers who return items do so within the first week.

Correct answer: Cannot Say

The passage gives a policy window but no data about when customers typically return items.

Passage C (for questions 15-16): A software rollout is scheduled in three phases. Phase 1 covers the customer support team. Phase 2 covers sales and marketing. Phase 3 covers all remaining departments. Each phase begins only after the previous phase’s issues are resolved.

15. Phase 3 could begin before Phase 2 issues are resolved.

Correct answer: False

The passage states each phase begins only after the previous phase’s issues are resolved, which directly rules this out.

16. The customer support team is part of Phase 1.

Correct answer: True

The passage states Phase 1 covers the customer support team.

Section 3: Inductive Reasoning (questions 17-24)

17. Look at the sequence of shapes below, then choose the option that continues the pattern.

Which option continues the sequence?

Correct answer: A

The shape rotates 90 degrees clockwise at each step (up, then right, then down). Continuing the rotation one more step points the shape left, which matches option A.

18. Look at the sequence of circles below, then choose the option that continues the pattern.

Which option continues the sequence?

Correct answer: C

Each frame contains exactly one more dot than the previous frame (1, then 2, then 3). Continuing the pattern requires 4 dots, which matches option C.

19. Look at the grid below, then choose the option that completes the missing cell.

Which option completes the missing cell?

Correct answer: A

Each row and each column of the grid contains exactly one square, one circle, and one triangle. The missing cell’s row already contains a circle and a triangle, and its column already contains a triangle and a circle, so the missing cell must contain the square, matching option A.

20. A sequence reads: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?. What number continues the sequence?

A. 36 B. 40 C. 42 D. 48

Correct answer: C

The differences between consecutive terms are 4, 6, 8, 10, and then 12. 30 + 12 = 42.

21. A sequence of letters follows a skip pattern: A, C, F, J, ?. Which letter continues the pattern, based on the number of letters skipped each time?

A. N B. M C. O D. L

Correct answer: C

The gaps increase by one letter each time: A to C skips 1 letter, C to F skips 2 letters, F to J skips 3 letters, so J to the next letter should skip 4 letters, landing on O.

22. Set X contains shapes with exactly one line of symmetry. Set Y contains shapes with more than one line of symmetry. An isosceles triangle (two equal sides, one line of symmetry) belongs to which set?

A. Set X B. Set Y C. Both sets D. Neither set

Correct answer: A

An isosceles triangle has exactly one line of symmetry, which matches the definition of Set X.

23. Which item does not belong with the others: square, rectangle, rhombus, circle?

A. Square B. Rectangle C. Rhombus D. Circle

Correct answer: D

A square, rectangle, and rhombus are all quadrilaterals (four-sided shapes). A circle has no straight sides, so it does not belong with the others.

24. A pattern of shading alternates in a repeating three-step cycle: filled, striped, outline, filled, striped, outline. What is the ninth shape in the sequence?

A. Filled B. Striped C. Outline D. Cannot be determined

Correct answer: C

The cycle repeats every 3 steps. 9 divided by 3 has no remainder, so the ninth shape lands on the last step of the cycle, which is outline.

Section 4: Deductive Reasoning (questions 25-32)

25. All certified technicians completed safety training. Maria is a certified technician. What must be true?

A. Maria completed safety training. B. Maria trained other technicians. C. Maria is not certified. D. Cannot be determined.

Correct answer: A

If all certified technicians completed safety training, and Maria is a certified technician, it follows directly that Maria completed safety training.

26. No part-time staff are eligible for the annual bonus. Devon is eligible for the annual bonus. What must be true about Devon?

A. Devon is part-time. B. Devon is not part-time. C. Devon works remotely. D. Cannot be determined.

Correct answer: B

If no part-time staff are eligible for the bonus, and Devon is eligible, Devon cannot be part-time.

27. If a shipment is marked fragile, it is packed with extra padding. This shipment was not packed with extra padding. What must be true?

A. The shipment is fragile. B. The shipment is not marked fragile. C. The shipment was delayed. D. Cannot be determined.

Correct answer: B

This is a valid contrapositive: if fragile implies extra padding, and there was no extra padding, then the shipment was not marked fragile.

28. Some analysts on the team hold a certification. All certified analysts have completed the advanced course. Priya is an analyst who has not completed the advanced course. What must be true about Priya?

A. Priya holds a certification. B. Priya does not hold a certification. C. Priya is not an analyst. D. Priya will complete the course next month.

Correct answer: B

Since all certified analysts completed the advanced course, and Priya has not completed it, Priya cannot be certified.

29. Either the warehouse restocks on Monday, or it restocks on Thursday, but not both in the same week. This week the warehouse did not restock on Monday. What must be true?

A. The warehouse restocked on Thursday. B. The warehouse did not restock at all. C. The warehouse restocked twice. D. Cannot be determined.

Correct answer: A

The statement describes an exclusive either-or across the two named days. Since Monday did not happen, Thursday must have happened.

30. If a candidate scores above the benchmark, the recruiter schedules a follow-up interview. A follow-up interview was scheduled for Jordan. What can you conclude about Jordan’s score?

A. Jordan scored above the benchmark. B. Jordan scored at or below the benchmark. C. Cannot be determined from this statement alone. D. Jordan failed the assessment.

Correct answer: C

The rule only states that scoring above the benchmark leads to a follow-up interview. It does not state that a follow-up interview only happens for that reason, so another cause cannot be ruled out from this statement alone.

31. All members of the safety committee attended the quarterly briefing. Sam did not attend the quarterly briefing. What must be true about Sam?

A. Sam is on the safety committee. B. Sam is not on the safety committee. C. Sam missed only one meeting. D. Cannot be determined.

Correct answer: B

If all committee members attended, and Sam did not attend, Sam cannot be a committee member.

32. If a machine is due for maintenance, it is tagged with a yellow label. Machine 12 does not have a yellow label. What must be true?

A. Machine 12 is due for maintenance. B. Machine 12 is not due for maintenance. C. Machine 12 was recently repaired. D. Cannot be determined.

Correct answer: B

This is another valid contrapositive: due for maintenance implies a yellow label, so no yellow label means not due for maintenance.

Section 5: Checking and Calculation (questions 33-39)

For questions 33 through 36, compare the two codes in each pair and decide whether they are Identical or Different.

33. Pair: KTR-4482-XQ and KTR-4482-XQ

A. Identical B. Different

Correct answer: A

Every character matches in both order and value.

34. Pair: PL9203-B7 and PL9203-B1

A. Identical B. Different

Correct answer: B

The final character differs: 7 versus 1.

35. Pair: A114-7729-CX and A114-7729-CX

A. Identical B. Different

Correct answer: A

Every character matches in both codes.

36. Pair: DV-6602-ML and DV-6602-MI

A. Identical B. Different

Correct answer: B

The second-to-last character differs: L versus I.

37. Without a calculator, work out: 47 + 68 - 23.

A. 82 B. 88 C. 92 D. 98

Correct answer: C

47 + 68 = 115. 115 - 23 = 92.

38. Without a calculator, work out: 9 x 12 - 15.

A. 93 B. 96 C. 99 D. 103

Correct answer: A

9 x 12 = 108. 108 - 15 = 93.

39. A clerk must total four invoice amounts: $124, $89, $156, and $31. What is the correct total?

A. $380 B. $390 C. $400 D. $410

Correct answer: C

124 + 89 = 213. 213 + 156 = 369. 369 + 31 = 400.

Section 6: Workplace Judgment (questions 40-45)

The six scenarios below are workplace judgment items, not personality items. Unlike OPQ32, they are commonly discussed with a “most effective response” logic, but that response still depends on context, organizational policy, and the specific details given. There is no single universal answer key that applies to every employer, and these explanations describe common workplace reasoning rather than a fixed scoring rule.

40. A coworker asks you to approve their timesheet without reviewing it, because they are in a hurry. What is generally the most effective response?

A. Approve it immediately to help them out. B. Review it briefly before approving, and explain why the check matters. C. Refuse to look at it at all. D. Approve it, then quietly flag it to a manager later without telling the coworker.

Most effective response: B

A brief, transparent review balances helpfulness with basic accuracy checks. Skipping review entirely (A) avoids the actual purpose of an approval step, while D avoids direct communication.

41. You notice a near-miss safety incident that did not cause any injury or damage. No formal report is required by policy for near-misses. What is generally the most effective response?

A. Say nothing since no one was hurt and no report is required. B. Mention it informally to a supervisor so the pattern can be tracked, even without a formal report. C. Post about it on an internal chat channel for everyone to see immediately. D. Wait to see if it happens again before deciding whether to mention it.

Most effective response: B

Sharing safety-relevant information with a supervisor supports prevention even when a formal report is not mandatory. Waiting for repetition (D) delays useful information.

42. Two team members disagree about how to prioritize a shared task list, and the disagreement is starting to affect the rest of the team. What is generally the most effective response?

A. Let them resolve it privately, no matter how long it takes. B. Pick a side quickly to end the disagreement. C. Help facilitate a short conversation focused on the shared goal and agreed criteria. D. Escalate to a manager immediately without attempting to help first.

Most effective response: C

Facilitating a focused conversation addresses the team impact without bypassing the people involved. Escalating immediately (D) may be appropriate for serious conflicts, but is usually not the first step for a prioritization disagreement.

43. A client asks for a deadline that you believe is very difficult to meet without lowering quality. What is generally the most effective response?

A. Agree immediately to avoid disappointing the client. B. Explain the trade-off clearly and propose a realistic alternative or scope adjustment. C. Refuse the deadline without offering any alternative. D. Agree, then quietly plan to miss the deadline.

Most effective response: B

Clear communication about trade-offs, paired with an alternative, respects both the client relationship and realistic delivery. Silently planning to miss a commitment (D) undermines trust.

44. You are asked to complete a task using a process you believe is outdated, but you have not yet confirmed why the process exists. What is generally the most effective response?

A. Follow the process as instructed, and ask questions about it afterward if you still have concerns. B. Ignore the instructions and use your own method instead. C. Refuse to do the task until the process is changed. D. Complain to coworkers about the process without raising it formally.

Most effective response: A

Following current instructions while raising questions afterward respects the existing process without shutting down legitimate curiosity. Unilaterally changing the method (B) skips understanding why the process exists.

45. You realize partway through a project that you misunderstood an instruction, and correcting it now will take extra time. What is generally the most effective response?

A. Continue as planned and hope no one notices the mismatch. B. Tell the relevant person promptly, explain the mismatch, and propose a path forward. C. Blame unclear instructions and wait for someone else to raise it. D. Quietly fix it without telling anyone, even if it affects a shared deliverable.

Most effective response: B

Prompt, transparent communication allows the team to adjust expectations and timelines. Silent fixes on shared work (D) can create confusion later even with good intentions.

How to Score This Educational Set

• 41-45 correct: Strong understanding across all six SHL-style module types
• 34-40 correct: Good general readiness
• 26-33 correct: Moderate understanding; review the weaker sections
• 17-25 correct: Needs focused review, especially checking, calculation, or deductive logic
• 16 or fewer correct: Review the fundamentals of each module before your live assessment

These ranges apply only to the educational practice questions on this page. They are not an SHL score, percentile, norm comparison, employer benchmark, pass decision, interview decision, or employment prediction.

Common Mistakes

• assuming “the SHL test” is one fixed exam;
• confusing OPQ (personality) with Verify (cognitive ability);
• treating motivation or behavior questionnaires as the same product as OPQ;
• assuming every SHL process includes a situational judgment section;
• treating coding or language assessments as Verify numerical or verbal modules;
• forgetting that Checking and Calculation can be separate from longer Verify reasoning modules;
• treating a practice score from this page as an official SHL percentile;
• reading verbal reasoning statements from outside knowledge instead of only the given passage;
• guessing on “Cannot Say” items instead of checking whether the passage states the fact;
• assuming inductive patterns always involve rotation when other rules are equally common;
• treating one workplace judgment answer as a universal personality key.

Free versus paid SHL preparation

Free preparation can help you identify which SHL product family applies, understand each module’s format, and practice transferable skills such as reading tables quickly, comparing codes accurately, or reasoning through if-then statements. SHL also publishes its own practice experiences on SHL Direct; those are familiarization tools, not exact copies of every live employer configuration.

JobTestPrep’s SHL destination linked above includes free sample-style practice and also presents paid preparation options. Do not treat the word “free” in a URL or page title as a promise that every preparation resource on that destination is free. Confirm what is free, what requires registration, and what is paid before you buy.

AptitudeTests.org focuses on independent aptitude and reasoning practice. It is not presented here as a dedicated OPQ personality simulation, SJT replica, coding IDE, or job-specific work-simulation clone.

If your invitation specifically names OPQ32 or OPQ32r, the SHL OPQ32 guide covers personality-specific format facts and practice in more depth than this publisher overview.

Official SHL resources

• SHL talent assessment product overview
• SHL product catalog
• SHL Verify cognitive assessments
• SHL coding simulations
• SHL Direct practice tests
• SHL Candidate Help Center
• SHL Direct accessibility support

Notes:

• SHL controls current product names, formats, and specifications.
• The employer controls which product or modules apply to a given role.
• Commercial preparation sites are not official SHL sources.
• Official SHL URLs must not contain affiliate fragments.

For SHL-style numerical, verbal or inductive sections, employer assessment preparation can help candidates become more comfortable with the format and timing. Third-party packs are not official employer or publisher materials; confirm the product matches your invitation before buying.
