Depending on the type of assessment, you can prepare in different ways. For an online assessment, you prepare differently than for a so-called &#8216;live assessment&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, I&#8217;ll address:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>General questions and considerations<\/li>\n<li>Preparation for online assessments<\/li>\n<li>Preparation for live assessments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>General Questions and Preparation<\/h2>\n<p>When asked to take an assessment, ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What kind of assessment am I taking?<\/li>\n<li>What can I expect?<\/li>\n<li>How can I prepare?<\/li>\n<li>How much time will it take?<\/li>\n<li>What will be done with the results?<\/li>\n<li>Manage your state of mind: be rested &#8211; check your travel time in advance &#8211; breathing exercises<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Preparation for Online Assessments<\/h2>\n<p>With an online assessment, you usually receive a link. Open it and then you can answer the questions and\/or statements. After that, you&#8217;ll either get the result immediately or have a review meeting with the certified consultant, after which the profile is handed over to you.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How does this assessment work?<\/li>\n<li>What is the purpose of the assessment?<\/li>\n<li>How much time does it take to complete?<\/li>\n<li>What happens with the results? Will I get the results first?<\/li>\n<li>How and when will the report be sent to me and my supervisor?<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you&#8217;re in the right mood and without interruptions or distractions before you start<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Preparation for Live Assessments<\/h2>\n<p>These are the assessments that usually take a day and involve multiple tasks.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Know the purpose of the assessment. Is it a selection assessment? For example, is it investigating your thinking and working level?<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you know what to expect on this day. It&#8217;s reassuring to know in advance how long it will take, what type of tasks you&#8217;ll get, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Find out if you can practice for the different parts. Are there practice materials available? Where can you practice for free?<\/li>\n<li>Manage your state of mind. You know best how to start such a day prepared and rested.<\/li>\n<li>Consider your agenda. Are you sick or under heavy pressure due to circumstances? Discuss this and explore whether the assessment can be postponed.<\/li>\n<li>Plan your trip to the assessment center in advance and arrive early. This way you avoid surprises.<\/li>\n<li>Know yourself, be yourself. Always react honestly and openly. The analyses often contain so-called &#8216;lie scores&#8217; that measure the tendency to deceive.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you want to know more about how an assessment can be used for you, request a <a href=\"http:\/\/dudokconsulting.nl\/business-coach\/assessment-afnemen\/#.Wh4dqhPWxE4\">golden strategy session<\/a> with me.<\/p>\n<p><em>Want to read more?
