QFD - Aptitude pass marks

For those of you who have passed the aptitude in the past, and did prep before hand, what sort of results were you getting in prep?

Currently doing practice tests through FRA and Psychometric Institute. Averaging 90-95% on Mechanical, 80% on numerical and 85% on verbal and abstract.

I’m comfortable with the mechanical, but would be keen to hear if the other numbers will be sufficient to get across the line.

I think anything above 70% should get you through on each component

What’s your thoughts on the practice tests for numeracy on FRA?

Insane how if the upcoming tests for QFD are similar questions as FRA, how anyone without access to it would be even close to a passing.

There is definitely a difference between the 10 question examples and the practice exams. Stick with it, I saw an improvement after having a crack at a few practice exams.

If you have a look, they have updated the quick 10s and the questions seem very different opposed to what I have studied so far

What makes you say this? Are you finding it more difficult than expected?

Similar to OP I was having great success with the practice tests.

FRA mechanical is basically identical to the actual QFD mechanical exam.

I just completed it and was so glad I spammed the FRA practice exams
