In the following article we will reduce the level of ambiguity by answering a few important questions about SHL test  \nresults.  \nContents  \nHow are SHL tests scored? .................................................................................................... 2  \nHow are SHL scores interpreted? .......................................................................................... 2  \nWhat is an SHL norm group? ................................................................................................. 3  \nHow are SHL scores reported? .............................................................................................. 4  \nHow to find your SHL test results? ........................................................................................ 5  \nWhat is the SHL pass score? .................................................................................................. 5  \nWhat is the average score for SHL tests? .............................................................................. 7  \nWhat is considered a good score on SHL tests? .................................................................... 7  \nDo SHL results include speed and accuracy?......................................................................... 8  \nSummary................................................................................................................................ 8  \n Copyright [http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk](http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk  1)[ ](http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk  1)[ 1](http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk  1)  \nHow are SHL tests scored?  \nSHL aptitude tests are usually comprised of multiple choice questions. The possible marks  \nfor each question are: correct, incorrect, and unanswered. When you submit an SHL  \naptitude test your answers are first measured against the correct answers. Then, your  \ncorrect answers are counted, and the rate of correct answers is calculated.  \nWhat can you learn from this?  \n􀁸 Don't leave questions unanswered. In SHL tests, guessing is beneficial (unless you are told otherwise on a specific test) .  \nHow are SHL scores interpreted?  \nYour own rate of correct answers is compared to the average achievement of a norm group.  \nThe most relevant norm group is chosen by the employer out of the options offered by SHL.  \nThe candidate's normed score is then transformed into a percentile, which tells the  \nemployer where the candidate is ranked relatively to the norm group (see graph) . For example: if you are in the 75th percentile, it means that you scored higher than 75% of the people in the norm group.  \nWhat can you learn from this?  \n􀁸 Your absolute score does not matter. Since you are graded relative to people of similar educational background who experience similar difficulties, you should practice as much as you can to gain an advantage.  \n􀁸 Most candidates try to increase their odds of getting the job by buying practice packs and putting efforts into preparation. Don't get left behind! You can practice the whole battery of SHL tests with us at [http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk/shlpracticetests.aspx](http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk/shlpracticetests.aspx).  \n􀁸 Don't panic if practice tests are difficult – it may be difficult for everyone. On the other hand, don't rely on a subjective feeling of confidence. You don't know how good other people are.  \n Copyright [http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk](http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk  2)[ ](http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk  2)[ 2](http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk  2)  \nWhat isan SHL norm group?  \nSHL results are collected from thousands of test takers.
