As part of the JLR recruitment process, you will be asked to complete three assessments. We ask you to set aside one hour to complete all three assessments.

Please click on the relevant tab below to view the preparation guides for the three assessments. We strongly recommend familiarising yourself with the format of the assessments before attempting them.

If you have need for any reasonable adjustments, it is important that you make these known immediately, so we can support you and allow appropriate accommodations to be made.

Situational Judgement Test

The Situational Judgement Test is designed to assess abilities, relative to the role for which you are applying to at JLR. The assessment is suitable for people who have little or no practical work experience.

The Assessment

In this assessment you will be presented with workplace scenarios which those in Early Careers roles could experience whilst working at JLR.

In each scenario you will be given some background information to consider presented in a video, followed by four different possible actions.

You are required to judge the effectiveness of each action using a rating scale that ranges from ‘Extremely Ineffective’ to ‘Extremely Effective’.

Please look at the example below. In the example, the action has been rated as ‘Fairly Effective’.

SJT scale

How to approach the assessment

  • There is no time limit for this assessment.
  • When rating the effectiveness of each response, use the information given in the scenario to make your best choice.
  • Try to use the full range of the rating scale and spread out your responses.
  • The assessment is best completed when you are in a quiet room where you will not be interrupted.

IT Considerations

  • The assessment will play on all screen sizes, but it is recommended to play it on a tablet size or larger.
  • JavaScript needs to be enabled; if it is not enabled on your device, online instructions to enable it will be made available.
  • You will require an internet connection and audio capability on your computer to play the sound in the clips. Subtitles are also available.

Match 6.5

Match 6.5 is a questionnaire that measures workplace behaviours that are important for the role for which you are applying to at JLR.

Completing Match 6.5

The questionnaire is presented in blocks of six statements which you are asked to rate on a nine-point scale, ranging from 1 – ‘Very Strongly Disagree’ to 9 – ‘Very Strongly Agree’. Please enter your responses by selecting the appropriate rating for each statement. You must respond to every statement to progress to the next page.

Statement 1:It is important to me to know how well I have done

Selected: Agree

Statement 2:I am an optimist

Agree
Selected: Agree

Statement 3:I am good at generating ideas

Unsure
Selected: Unsure

Statement 4:Using technology is one of my strong points

Strongly Disagree
Selected: Strongly Disagree

Statement 5:I am good at understanding how others feel

Very Strongly Agree
Selected: Very Strongly Agree

Statement 6:I am someone who is confident when meeting new people

Very Strongly Agree
Selected: Very Strongly Agree
In the example, the respondent has indicated that they:
  • agree that it is important to know how well they have done
  • agree that they are an optimist
  • are unsure whether or not they are good at generating ideas
  • strongly disagree that technology is one of their strong points
  • very strongly agree that they are good at understanding how others feel
  • very strongly agree that they are someone who is confident when meeting new people

Because the respondent has given the same rating to two pairs of statements, these are presented again and the respondent is asked to indicate which statement is most like them and which statement is least like them.

Match 6.5 example

How to approach Match 6.5

When completing the questionnaire, it is important you consider the following points:

  • When responding to each statement, be as selective as possible by using the full range of responses, from 'Very Strongly Disagree' to 'Very Strongly Agree'.
  • Please be as honest as you can. There is no one right or wrong answer; job roles vary and there are many ways of being effective in any one job.
  • A number of response checks are built into the questionnaire to validate the consistency of your responses. Your responses will also be verified against other information collected.
  • Before you complete the questionnaire, you may find it useful to reflect on your own work style. You may also find it useful to consider any feedback you have received from others on your style at work.
  • Try to answer from a work perspective as much as possible.
  • The questionnaire is best completed when you are alert and free from interruptions.

Aptitude Tests

Employers often use aptitude tests as part of their assessment procedures for the selection and development of staff. An aptitude test is used to determine a candidate’s cognitive ability. It can include verbal and numerical reasoning, as well as other areas relevant to the role in question.

How to approach Aptitude Tests

  • Prepare for the test using the relevant links below to complete realistic timed practice questions.
  • Ensure there are no distractions while you are completing the test.
  • Read the instructions carefully before completing the test.
  • Once the aptitude test begins you will not be able to pause the timer.
  • Read all questions carefully.

Online Practice Tests

Complete realistic timed practice questions online by selecting the appropriate link below.

While you are in a practice test you can complete the questions as many times as you like. To re-access a practice test after you have opted to Finish, simply select the required link again. You will be given on-screen feedback for each question that you answer.

The purpose of the practice tests is to familiarise you with the format of the actual test and working to time limits. The difficulty of the example questions does not necessarily represent the difficulty level of the test itself.

We recommend that you practice aptitude tests, by using the tools below in conjunction with other freely available, online testing examples.
