    How to Identify the Aon Hewitt G.A.T.E. Test?

    The Aon Hewitt G.A.T.E. Test Scoring

    The behavioral tests don't have a right or wrong answer. They are scored in accordance to what the company is looking for. On the other side, the aptitude tests have objective right or wrong answers and are therefore scored on them.

    For example, if the position is for a customer service role, the company is going to be looking for someone who is good at communicating with people on the phone.

    The test results are compared to other candidates, from which a shortlist is made of those with the results that fit the company and the specific job role best.

    Those who score highly will be ranked more positively in the hiring process, while those who fall below the pass rate will lose their place in the hiring process.

    FAQ

    What computer should I use for the cut-e test?

    Almost all cut e assessments can be completed on smartphones and tablets. For the best performance, however, you should take the test on a PC or laptop, or mobile if you are taking a gamified test. Also, make sure you are using the latest browser version to prevent compatibility errors, and that your internet connection is stable. 

    Some Aon assessment tests allow a calculator- if using one is not allowed, you will be notified. In addition, having a pen and paper on hand is sometimes very useful- some tests have complex questions that require several stages to answer, and writing them down is critical for success.
