In Reply To: Hi, previous week I wrote an IPS test. Because I get a lot of information on this board before, I would like to give ( to whom it may be valuable ) some feedback; 1. the test consists o 3 cases 2. there is 35 questions about the 3 cases 3. There are some simple calculations to do ( % mainly ) 4. It is difficult to achieve the final questions in the given time ( 90 minutes ) 5. You have to read all the questions very carefully 6. For me the biggest trick was the 3rd case where the calculations are the most complicated ( always %, *, :, +, - only ). Because I divided the time on 3 when I started the test and then I realised that the 3rd case will take more then 1/3 of the time given That's the executive summary. Regards B
Message: Regarding to the No. 4 comment "4. It is difficult to achieve the final questions in the given time ( 90 minutes ) ", the overall time was 70 minutes when I took the test a month ago. Best, -dr06
