Cut-e Test (AON): Test Types, Guide & Tips (2024)

The cut-e numerical test measures a candidate’s ability to use the information and form logical conclusions from numerical data given in charts and tables. On the cut-e numerical exam, numerical data is given in tables and charts in a particular format, that looks like a classic case study. All tables and charts related to a specific company are arranged in six distinct tabs so that only one tab can be seen at a given time. Each tab features a single chart or table. You can only look at one tab at a time, however, you can move back and forth between the tabs as often as you like.

Every question offers a statement that refers to one of the tabs. It is the candidate’s task to choose the applicable tab, analyze its contents and conclude whether the statement is true, false or if the information provided is not enough to decide. To form a conclusion, the candidate not only needs to make sense of the numerical data accurately but also needs to work out which tab has the relevant information for that specific statement.

These exams are created to measure a candidate’s ability to deal with numbers accurately and fast. Cut-e uses many levels of complexity in their exams, according to the job role the candidate has applied for. The more complex the test, the more difficult the tables and diagrams are to understand. A basic exam will last for 5 minutes but a more complex test will last for 12 minutes.

Scales Verbal
The scale verbal ability test is designed to evaluate both comprehension and reading in relation to basic information, and the ability to form logical conclusions for a given text. The exam gives a candidate a passage of text and they need to answer one of more statements, deciding if they are true, false, or cannot say. A candidate’s answer must be based solely on the information given in the passage. Some of the questions may just be true or false questions, and may not give the option of “cannot say”.

Scales Verbal SJT
The cut-e scales verbal Situational Judgement Test measures a candidate’s ability to select appropriate workplace responses to several typical workplace scenarios. Problems are given that relate to the job position the candidate has applied for. The candidate needs to rate various actions from highly undesirable to highly desirable.

Cut-e’s abstract or logical ability tests are available in various formats.

Scales cls Inductive-logical Thinking
A candidate is presented with ten 3×3 grids. Each square in the grid features either a letter or a number. Six of these grids are allocated to either the orange group of the blue group. A candidate must use these to isolate the rules that place a grid in one group or the other. A candidate must then conclude which group the remaining four grids belong to and select it to allocate it to the orange group or the blue group

Scales clx Inductive-logical Reasoning
A candidate is presented with six 3×3 grids. Each square in the grid features a shape, for instance, a triangle, cross, square, or circle. The two grids seen on the left-hand side of the screen follow identical rules. Two of the four on the right-hand side adhere to the same rule as the two on the left. The candidate needs to identify which two of the four follow the same rule and choose them.

Scales ix Inductive-logical Thinking
A candidate is presented with 9 objects, which could contain lines, shapes, symbols, or the like. One of these 9 isn’t in keeping with the same pattern as the others. The candidate needs to isolate the ‘wrong’ object.

Scales Ist Deductive logic Thinking
This test is similar in nature to sudoku. A candidate is presented with a grid, in which particular squares feature a shape, such as a triangle, cross, square, or circle. Each column or each row can depict no more than one of each shape. One of the boxes of the grid will show a question mark. The candidate will need to choose which square they think depicts this shape.

Sx Deductive-logical Thinking
A remarkably short 5-minute test. Four shapes, cross, diamond, circle, and triangle, go through an operation, whereby the position of each shape changes according to a particular set of numbers. For instance, 4,2,3,1 will indicate that the shape in location 4 will move to location 1, the shape in location 2 will remain in the same location, the shape in location 3 will also remain in the same location, however, the shape in location 1 will now move to location 4.

Scales blo
This exam measures a candidate’s sensory memory and short-term memory. Candidates are shown an image and asked if it is identical to the second to the last image in the sequence of three images they were presented with before. The candidate must then quickly answer yes or no. The system always presents candidates with a series of three images and then the image to compare.

Scales cmo
Scales cmo tests the candidate’s ability to understand information quickly. It presents the candidate with a dark screen that features a fixed number of white dots. The test is quite easy to understand. The candidate must simply count the number of white dots featured in the image and select the correct answer. The exam is multiple-choice.

Scales e3+
The cut-e Scales e3+ test measures concentration. The exam is quite straightforward. It shows the candidate images and asks if the image was or was not the item presented.
