Game-Based Assessment Example- The Balloon Game

Source - JobTestPrep Pymetrics practice test. 

 

About this game: you can find the Balloon game in both the Pymetrics and Arctic Shores game assessments. In this game, you have to pump the balloon and choose when to exchange it with money, so that you earn as much money as possible. Each pump increases the amount of money, but can also potentially burst the balloon, losing the money accumulated so far.  

The challenge here is choosing the best exchange timing, without bursting the balloon. So, even though it seems simple- this task requires learning and recognizing different explosion patterns, to take calculated risks and maximize your earnings.

 

There are many different types of game assessments, each involves unique challenges. Go to your relevant game assessment page to discover its challenges and practice acing its games:
