This is because most aptitude tests have relatively few questions, and the job candidates tend to obtain similar scores.
To explain this fact, let us consider a typical aptitude test consisting of 60 questions. Majority of the candidates, who have similar educational background and achievements, will score around 50. Some will score a little less and some a little more. So on an average, it is just ten marks that separates the lowest and the highest scores.
The scores therefore, will not be evenly distributed. They will cluster around the average.
Your score will often be compared to the other candidates on this basis. In other words, if you scored 50 marks you will be at the 50th percentile and if you scored 53 marks you will be at the 90th percentile. Just three marks will be the difference between being seen as an average candidate (50th percentile) and an outstanding candidate (90th percentile).
That is why practicing psychometric test examples is crucial to your success.
