Bond Psychometric Test

Prepare the right way. BE BETTER. Be you.
But be the version of you that has prepared the right way – meaning, as an aspiring medical applicant, who is not afraid to put in the hard work and self-development that the university is seeking.
Don't get confused. Get prepared!!
- Can anxiety affect your test answers? Yes.
- Does reading the scales wrongly contribute to a large number of incorrect answers? Yes.
- Can these tests read your mind? No.
- Are there checklists you can complete in your head to help you along? Yes.
- Do you need to approach visual stimuli differently compared to written stimuli? Yes.
- Are these tests experienced the same for everyone, from all backgrounds? No.
- Can these tests tell if you're lying? Well, yes and no – it's complicated.
Some questions you may have may not have the easiest answers, but then again, medicine is not the easiest profession... Bring your curiosity. Bring your work ethic. Bring your logic, your empathy, and your commitment to seeing things in a fresh and exciting new way. It's important to be well prepared and knowledgeable to sit this pair of tests. The question is, how do you prepare? And do you have what it takes to put in the introspection, self-awareness, and development of self-needed to ace a test that is employed to ensure that only the most appropriate people gain a valuable place as a protector of today's most vulnerable? And just as importantly – Are you that person?
Prepare yourself for hard work
Be willing to look inside and measure yourself against the personality traits that are needed to make good doctors and medical students.
Does your agreeableness make you look weak? Is your independence the good kind, or the weird kind? Is trust good or bad in the sense of this test – and why do so many applicants who are trying to look sensible come across as seeming dangerous and dishonest? What words provide the best reminders of what is being measured? Have you always completely misunderstood what extraversion means, and is it going to blow your chances on your most important day?
There are no shortcuts here.
Come along and learn how to put in the effort and cognitive curiosity to pass your psychometric tests the first time, so you can earn your place at the table.
