Gia test

Absolutely nailed an interview. The person conducting the interview all but said the vacancy was mine. I'm due to be sent a link to a Gia test but I tried a couple of tests and I'm struggling to get a strong score.
Any tips or advice?

Thanks

    Perhaps you need to accept that the job might not be right for you?

    You are discovering that the interview is only one part of the application process. Although you seem to have come across well at interview, if you can't complete other elements to a satisfactory level you are unlikely to get the job.
    If the interviewer indicated that he/she thought the job was as good as yours they were not acting in a professional manner. They might well have raised hope unrealistically.

    Unless of course they feel that this test is fairly pointless and they place no stock in it. We can't know,

    Thanks, I'll keep practicing as often as possible.
    I should have added that it's the numerical reasoning test. Not done problem solving like that since school.

    If it's simply a case of being rusty, practice should help to get your brain back in gear. Hope it works out for you.
