As per repeated requests to this page, general advice like this shouldn't be requested via private message, but rather asked here and then shared to the page so everyone can access the information and the author only has to post once.

nightwatchman (or anyone else!) if you have any additional tips you'd like to share, please do so here. That would be much appreciated!!

Hey my main tips are to
1) Take your time in the test. Do not rush
2) Dont extrapolate from situations too much. Stick within the bounds of the question. A lot of people tend to overthink the various situations given in this test.
3) Be honest in the 16pf test but dont give away any red flags. Example: Answer yes to any questions which require empathy and compassion. Never answer yes to a question like "I often force people to do things my way because I believe that my ways are superior". And I dont really have to explain why you shouldnt answer yes to a question like that lol

Hey guys,

I know that we should aim to complete the full test in 1.5 hours but what's the recommended amount of time to spend on each component? I.e., 16PF and MSCEIT. Thanks!

are we allowed to take more than 1.5 hrs on each test or would we be perhaps penalised for this?

I called up and it’s possible u could go more than 1.5 hrs. Like if it took 3 hrs to do that’s fine coz u could be doing stuff. It’s just if u do the tests for like 10hrs or so then yea they would catch you for “cheating”

Can Bond conclusively say that one cheated if they took a much longer than expected time to complete the test? I'm dubious about the benefits of extra time for psychometric tests as that seems to be just a recipe for overthinking and conflicting answers as a result.
 
That is also true, it's possible if you do the exam too long, good chance you could overthink some questions

I am just letting people know so they dont have to stress and finish it within 1.5hrs. Like that's just a guide. Just don't do it over 10 hrs that's all

Anyone know how to start the exam tomoz once we have purchased the exam?
 
Hi everyone, this year will the two tests be done? Just wondering if the company changing has an effect on it.
The MSCEIT and the 16PF Questionnaire ?

I agree LMG. There is no way they can hold the psychometric test at bond for 2021 entry.

Btw guys I am currently a 2nd year in Bond med. If anyone wants any tips or advice for the psychometric test or anything to do with the bond med process then feel free to reply to this message in the thread and I'll get back to you* :)

I had some aweosome people who helped me out when I was applying so now I wanna pass the baton as so to speak.
