现在越来越多的外资企业（包括若干投行、商业银行、industry的MT program等）已经把笔试（online test或者现场笔试）纳入应聘程序，而其中很多公司的test用题源于一家名为SHL的机构。

那么，这家名为SHL的公司出的题目到底是些什么东东?它由缘何得到如此多跨国企业的亲睐呢？

          今天，让HIALL团队与您来共同来剖析一下SHL的出题风格！ 

一般来说SHL类型test的分两部分：numerical test和verbal test。这里我们分别来探讨。 

       第一部分：verbal test

       所谓verbal test（verbal：口头的），就是给出一段100~200多字的短文，然后让你根据文章意思，判断题干信息正确与否，主要考察应聘者的英语阅读能力和逻辑判断能力。

verbal test 一般会分为TEST1 和TEST2 ，每个TEST都会有两篇PASSAGE。我们来剖析一下真题：

The verbal questions which follow are multiple choice. For each question, you are given several possible answers. When you have selected your answer, click in the appropriate circle.

…………………… verbal test一般都会遵从的要求

       下面我们来分别看一看TEST1和TEST2

       TEST1

       In this test you are given two passages, each of which is followed by several statements. Your task is to evaluate the statements in the light of the information or opinions contained in the passage and to select your answer according to these rules. 

（1）If you think the statement is patently true or follows logically given the information or opinions contained in the passage

       Click on A

       （2）If the statement is patently untrue or the opposite follows logically, given the information or opinions contained in the passage

       Click on B

       （3）If you cannot say whether the statement is true or untrue or follows logically without further information 

       Click on C 

       ……………………TEST1的具体要求
 

       PASSAGE 1:

       the big economic difference between nuclear and fossil fuelled power stations is that nuclear reactions are more expensive to build and decommission, but cheaper to run. so disputes over the relative efficiency of the two systems revove not just around the prices of coal and uranium today and tomorow, but also around the way in which future income should be compared with current income. 

       Question: 

       (1) The main difference between nuclear and fossil-fuelled power stations is an economic one.

       (2) The price of coal is not relevant to discussions about the efficiency of nuclear reactors.

       (3) If nuclear reactors were cheaper to build and decommission than fossil fuelled power stations, they would definitely have the economic advantage.

       PASSAGE2（哈哈，地方不够，今天就不说PASSAGE2） 

       TEST2 

       In this test you are required to evaluate each statement in the light of the passage. Read through the passage and evaluate the statements according to the rules. 

       (1) TRUE: If the statement follows logically from the information or opinions contained in the passage 

       Click on A

       (2) FALSE: If the statement is obviously false from the information or opinions contained in the passage 

       Click on B

       (3) If you CANNOT SAY whether the statement is true or false without further information

       Click on C

       …………………………TEST2的具体要求

       PASSAGE1:

       Many organizations find it beneficial to employ over the summer. permanent staff often wish to take their holidays over this period. F uturemore,it is not companies to experience peak workloads in the summer and so require extra staff. summer employment also attracts students who may return as well qualified recruits to an organization when they have completed their education.

       (1)It is possible that permanent staff who are on holiday can have their work carried out by students. 

       (2) Students in summer employment are given the same paid holiday benefit as permanent staff.

       (3) Students are subject to the organization's standard disciplinary and grievance procedures.

       (4) Some companies have more work to do in summer when students are available for vacation work.

 
       PASSAGE2（哈哈，地方不够，今天就不说PASSAGE2） 

 
       第二部分：numerical test

       所谓numerical test（numerical:数字的），就是给出一张图或表，然后让你根据题干，提取有用的信息进行简单或复杂的计算，主要目的（个人以为）是考察你的基本运算，经济学常识和sense，以及迅速从纷繁复杂的大量信息里提取有价值信息的能力（换句话说，就是眼睛要快，手要快，脑子更要快）。 

       numerical test也会分为TEST1和TEST2。下面我们来看真题：

       Numerical Example Questions Introduction

       The numerical questions which follow are multiple choice. For each question, you are given several possible answers. When you have selected your answer, click in the appropriate circle.

       （一）采用shl试题的公司概略
       Mars ICI Unilever 高露洁 汇丰银行 恒生银行 渣打银行 德勒 KMPG 瑞安集团  
       （二）具体介绍：
       1. 毕马威KPMG、安永E&Y  
       Paper Test 
       毕马威的笔试采用的是SHL的试题，分为verbal和number两个部分，时间有限，一般做不完，主要考察英文阅读能力、逻辑能力、数字能力和准确率。在这一关80%的人，无法进入下一轮。 
       安永的笔试主要是写作文，考察英文表达能力，每年的题型都有变化。 
       其他流程参见普华永道。 
       2． 德勤DTT 
       On-line test 
       在线提交简历后，会收到一个在线测试的链接，类似于心理测试，100道题左右，有时间限制；隔几天后，会收到一个在线英文测试，是SHL的试题，与毕马威的verbal有些类似。
