general aptitude test

Post by wynne.01 » Mon, 18 Oct 2010 12:49 pm

I have a local degree with economic and two international diplomas with accounting but I were asked to sit the general aptitude test. I had tried to pass it but…. I had failed. I do not known why i was failed.What should I do? I thought that I could sit very well...So the company cannot employ me. Do I have a chance to apply another company? or this new company can submit for my pass again? And that is can be effect to my existing Spass? I don’t know what I am going to do. Do you have any idea? I just want to clarify all about it. Thank you

If it involved an English test then I'm not really surprised.

It's not an English test. It is an aptitude test, and while a lack of suitable English skills may have contributed to the OP's failure, I really generally refrain from criticizing a person's English language skills because it is a second language for so many.

But, I see that you don't feel that way.

No I don't, as the OP stated they have a local degree I would expect their English to be good (at least the writing anyway).

But the English language comment wasn't really my main point, I was telling OP to try actually reading the forum for some answers instead of asking the same questions that have been asked a million times before. I guess his/her lack of aptitude to do so is what's got them in this predicament in the first place
