Career and Personality Match
Ensuring a good career and personality match is an important step in building a satisfying and fruitful career, while a poor career and personality match can hold you back in your career success and happiness.
Imagine the difference between a sales professional who is extroverted and agreeable and one who is introverted and indifferent. Sales jobs tend to require an extroverted, agreeable personality profile, so that person would be more inclined to be a top performer on his or her team and truly enjoy the work. On the other hand, the introverted and indifferent individual would more likely struggle with inferior job performance, job dissatisfaction and possibly even career burnout.
A simple and effective strategy for understanding the ways your career choices and personality interact is through a valid personality assessment. Unlike simplistic, just-for-fun tests you may see in popular magazines, valid personality assessments are developed through vast amounts of objective scientific testing and volumes of psychological research to ensure they are a truly accurate measure of your personality and career options.
Match Your Career Choices with Your Natural Talents
An aptitude test can be used to assess your capacity to learn a variety of different skills. Depending on the test that is used, aptitude tests can be used to assess everything from spatial perception to verbal ability to finger and manual dexterity. Most commonly, aptitude tests are used to assess general learning ability (your overall ability to learn and understand), verbal ability (language) and numerical ability (math).
A career aptitude test does not rely on skills that you have learned in the past. Although skills and aptitudes are related, your skills are things you have learned to do in the past. Your aptitudes are things that you have the ability to learn. So, even if you have not studied math at an advanced level, an aptitude test could still predict that you have the ability to learn math without undue difficulty.
Like interest tests, good aptitude assessments are developed using extensive objective scientific testing and research. A valid career assessment can provide useful information if you are considering training for a new career. The test will help to show areas of strength and forewarn you of areas where learning new skills may be more challenging.
If you do decide to take a career assessment test, it can help you to build a career around your strengths. Match Your Career Choices with Your Values
Matching values and career choices is an often overlooked aspect of career planning. Considering that the leading cause of job burnout is a mismatch between your personal values and the realities of your job, it's important to assess your values and the ways they will be expressed in your career decisions.
It can be easy to slip into pursuing career rewards that do not fit with your own value system. Society tells us to value prestige, power and a high income. If those career accomplishments are within your own personal set of values, then pursuing those things will likely contribute to your happiness and career satisfaction.
However, if you value family friendly flexibility in your work schedule, creativity and helping others, then you'll find more career satisfaction in pursuing those career goals. That doesn't mean that you're destined to be unhappy in a high paying job if high income is not one of your core values. If you decide you use a values inventory test to help you think through your important work values, keep in mind that, unlike interest and aptitude assessments, a values inventory is not a formal tool that has been validated through objective research. However, a values inventory is a great brainstorming tool to help you to assess things that motivate you and your needs as they are related to your career choices.
Often people struggle to state what they want out of their work (beyond an income), so a values inventory can help by prompting you to think through many possible work related values.
Matching your career choices and your personality, aptitudes and values is a smart step towards your career success and satisfaction.

Psychological tests are used for assessment and evaluation of the test taker by a competent examiner. That is why it is also called psychological assessment. A competent psychologist is generally the interpreter of these psychological tests. But it should be noted that psychological tests are advantageous only in certain situations. Free psychological tests circulated through the internet are usually bests for entertainment purposes.
So what are some useful types of psychological tests? Tests that measure your knowledge about a certain specific topic, or capacity for certain skills are called achievement and aptitude tests. Intelligence tests would say about your general ability to know the world around you. It also assesses how you use the intelligence to adapt to the world, and in what manner you apply this general ability.

Therefore, we can say that the focus of intelligence tests is potential. Neuropsychological tests measure loss in functions of cognitive ability. Occupational tests are used to match your interests with the interests involving a certain career or occupation. Personality tests try to determine the style of your personality usually for clinical or forensic purposes. Specific clinical tests refer to tests that measure certain specific levels within a person in terms of his or her state of mind, like depression or anxiety.
One great advantage for using or taking psychological tests is that it is quite difficult to lie. For example, the Rorschach test does not offer any clue for the test taker about what would be a healthy response or an unhealthy response to the questions asked by the test. For instance, when it comes to legal situations, these tests can be more helpful than interviews. And last but not the least; information can be more easily taken from tests instead of interviews. Both psychologists and clients can compromise the reliability of clinical interviews.
However, sometimes tests do not really measure what they are supposed to measure. Therefore always remember the following guidelines:
• Always identify the purpose of testing.
• Identify the names and rationales of the tests.
• Always get the results of the tests.
Remember these guidelines, and always refer to a psychologist you trust.

The night before I took the SAT, I could barely fall asleep. There was one word to describe my state of emotional wreckage: anxious. In reality, I had no reason to fear an epic fail. I had prepared well, and the following day I performed excellently.
While the SAT can seem like a very intimidating test, there are several straight-forward approaches that can boost your confidence and your scores. Whether you're frantically searching the Internet for a few tips the night before you take the test or you're currently in the middle of a multi-month preparation effort, this article can give you a few ideas for how to take a successful test.

One of the most important things to keep in mind is the strict time limits. Even if I am capable of finding the answer to every problem in a section, I may fail to achieve a high score without the proper time management.
Fortunately, there are several slick techniques that will help you make use of every second you've got.
Skip Insanely Hard Questions
If you don't know the answer to a question, put a star beside it and move on. You can always come back later to the questions you've marked if you have the time. Skipping questions allows you to spend your time showing what you DO know instead of wasting it on a question where the odds of getting it right are about as good as getting you-know-who to go out with you. Wait to Fill in the Circles
One of the biggest surprises the first time I took the SAT was how long it took me to fill in the circles on my answer sheet (I know... I sound like a loser). Eventually, I learned a technique that helped me reduce errors and save time. Rather than marking my answer sheet right away, I started circling my answers on my test booklet and then transferring them to the answer sheet every five questions or so. It doesn't seem like this would save much time, but it really works (just like magic... okay, that was really cheesy). Filling in five answers at a time reduces how often you have to break your focus from solving problems. It's especially helpful on small desks when you don't have room to place your answer sheet beside your booklet. It also makes you less likely to fill in a circle in the wrong row if you skip a question. Just make sure that you don't run out of time to fill in the circles. During the last five minutes of a section, I usually go straight to filling in the circles each time I pick an answer. How badly would it stink to figure out the answer but not get credit!?
Use That Calculator
Make sure to bring a good calculator for the math sections. While it's not essential, it saves lots of precious time. I used a TI-83 Plus, and it worked great. A bunch of fancy features are useless if they just confuse you. However, if you have time to learn a new calculator, the graphing functions can be really helpful for a few of the problems.
Cut Corners!
Mastering the SAT is more like playing a game than learning history: strategy is the key, not a comprehensive knowledge of the questions. Since most problems are multiple choice, work the system. You don't actually have to solve equations... just plug in the possible answers and see what works. Let's say the problem is:
"What is the value of x if 5 = (1+x)² - 2x? Your Mom"
Your math teacher might be slightly ticked that you didn't use your algebra, but the SAT graders won't care. If you're getting short on time in the critical reading section, you can skip reading the passage and jump straight to the questions. Usually you can get these questions right just by reading a few sentences above and below the one they identified. Other questions about the overall point of the passage can often be answered by skimming the first and last paragraphs as well as the first sentence of every other paragraph.
Take a Lucky Guess: Be a Leprechaun
While you lose one fifth of a point every time you get a question wrong, you shouldn't be afraid to guess. Please don't just start filling in random circles. Instead make an educated guess. Cross out all the answers in your booklet that look messed up, and then pick one of the answers that is left. Basic probabilities tell us that it's good to guess as long as you've eliminated at least one answer on a problem.
Remember that unless your some sort of lucky uber-genius, you're not going to ace the test. Answer as many questions as you can as quickly as you can as accurately as you can. Most of the time this means that you won't attempt every question. It always means that you stop thinking up schemes to get all the cute peeps' numbers as soon as the test is over.

1) Managing your Time: If it is the clock that intimidates you, you need have a better time management practice in place. To do this, use your SAT practice tests. Set the timer with each allotted practice paper and tackle one section at a time. Remember that every question is worth the same amount. It makes no sense to spend more time on a question that you would probably get wrong. In any case, you can still score high even if some questions you don't get right. Hence move ahead and don't get jammed, this will prepare you mind to think quicker and manage your time more efficiently with each subsequent Practice Test.
2) JUST DO IT!: is a powerful tool for self suggestion. Self suggestion is the closest tool of things happening your way. Think of SAT as just another cool test. Approach it in a confident manner and do not overwhelm yourself with a larger than life depiction of it. It is easy. 3) Pranayama, the Art of Breathing Deep and Slow, executed as a popular exercise in Yoga to relax your tense brain muscles. It acts as the life-force that pervades the body. Because it is connected on one side with the body and on the other side with the mind it helps develops a steady mind, strong will-power, and sound judgment. So don't forget to breathe. Focus on taking slow deep breaths and give your mind time to recuperate.
4) It is not a Do or Die Situation Too many students approach the SAT with this gigantic burden on their backs. Yes, this is an important test. Yes, it will partially determine if your get into a good college.But this is not a "do or die" situation that has approached to doom you into lifelong misery.
5) Counseling centers are a good source for help with test anxiety. Closer home, you can talk to your parents, friends you can confide into. Therapy, as in group or individual has shown to be very effective in aiding students who need help taking these exams. If you are interested in counseling, your guidance counselor should be able to point you in the right direction.
6) No Last Minute Cramming: Last minute cramming for any exam only increases anxiety and can lead to a general brain freeze. 7) Reward Yourself So the SAT Test is tomorrow, you've worked hard, prepared and would give your best on the day. So spare the moment, go out for a movie, prepare a nice meal, watch TV, have a little fun...and simple unwind.The key to success on any test, and in life, is to break your goals down to smaller undertakings and then reward yourself for each step you take. And when the remarkable scores are achieved and the university letters of acceptance start coming in the mail, then you can celebrate more.

Yes, it's true...standardized tests are a pain in the butt! However, your score on these exams will play a large role in the college admissions process. The key to performing well on the SAT is being adequately prepared. You just have to pick the best study method for you. In this article, we'll discuss some SAT tips that will get you prepared for the big exam day.
First, you should take the PSAT or preliminary SAT. This exam is essentially an SAT pre-test. You'll be placed in a real live testing environment and the questions on this exam will be very similar to the ones that you'll receive on the real SAT exam. Similar to the SAT, the PSAT will include the following subject areas: reading, math, and writing.

Colleges won't be taking your PSAT score into consideration when evaluating whether or not they should accept you, but it is in your best interest to take this exam seriously. In addition to helping you prepare for the real SAT, this exam will also qualify you for the National Merit Scholarship program. What's the National Merit Scholarship Program? This program awards scholarships to students who earn the highest scores on the PSAT. You can learn more about this process by visiting the National Merit Scholarship Corporation's website.
Second, you should continue to prepare for the SAT exam after you have taken the PSAT. There are a lot of various resources available, including live SAT prep course classes, free online resources, and books that you can purchase from your local bookstore. The method of study that each student selects will vary based on their learning style. As for live courses, some schools may offer these for free. If not, the following companies offer live SAT prep courses: Kaplan, The Princeton Review, and Sylvan Learning Center. You should visit their websites to find out more information about specific prep courses that are being offered in your area. In addition, there are a lot of free online resources. You can download free practice questions on the College Board website. Lastly, you can also head down to your local bookstore and ask the people behind the counter to point you in the direction of SAT review materials. I can guarantee that there is a section committed to standardized exams. If you purchase your own book, you can create your own study plan as opposed to being committed to attending a live class on specific dates and times.
You can register for the exam on the College Board website. It's a good idea to pick your exam date a couple months in advance of the application deadlines for the colleges that you intend on applying to. If you follow these SAT tips, you'll feel confident and ready to go when exam day rolls around. Remember to get enough sleep the night before the exam and to each breakfast on the morning before the exam. Good luck!

1. Start Preparing Early
To get the most out of SAT prep, you should start early. Don't start wondering whether or not third-order polynomials will be included in the math section the week before. Create a plan! If you need more structure or guidance, consider SAT prep classes, private tutoring, or an online course.
2. Dress Well
Think about this: the thermostat at the testing center on the morning of the test is likely to be set by someone just as groggy as you. You don't want to trust them with your comfort-and shivering while you bubble is a sure way to "make a stray mark." Avoid this by dressing in layers of comfortable clothing so you can adjust to your surroundings easily.

3. Be On Time
The College Board is not happy when you're late to an SAT. To them, late is showing up after they've closed the doors to the testing rooms-between 8:30 and 9:00 am. In fact, their official policy states that late students will not be admitted to the testing center and will have to reschedule to take the test. Of course, there is a $24 fee for that. It's fine if you don't want to reschedule, but the fee you paid to take the test is nonrefundable. That's $47 gone to waste. Show up before 7:45 am, as the College Board recommends. A few days before the test, map out a route to your testing center and make sure you're familiar with it. If you're particularly bad with directions, you might want to practice getting there-just think of it as another thing to study.
4. You Are Getting Very Sleepy...
Falling asleep during the SAT: fail. You could nap during one of the five-minute breaks you get, but we doubt it would do you any good. Instead, be sure to get a good night's sleep before the SAT. Caffeine in the morning-be it coffee or an energy drink-might be a good idea, but if you should avoid it if you aren't accustomed to it. Too much caffeine can lead to jitters and, ironically enough, difficulty concentrating.
5. Oops! If you mess up, don't worry: In 2009, the College Board introduced Score Choice, which allows you to select which test scores you want to send to a college on your score report. It is an optional service; if you do not elect to use it, all of your scores will be included on your score reports. Though it allows you to not disclose poor scores to the schools when applying, you should check your institution's policy on SAT score reporting-often it is helpful to report all of your scores.

1. Don't Cram
Alright, so it's Friday night and you're taking the SAT tomorrow: it's time to get an energy drink and crack open the prep book you bought four months ago, right?

2. Practice Like It's the Real Thing
While reviewing the material that will be on the SAT is definitely helpful, you want to remember to take real, timed SATs for practice as well. Doing so will help you get a sense for how the SAT is laid out and how much time you need per section. You will also become more accustomed to performing well under pressure. The College Board offers a book, The Official SAT Study Guide, 2nd edition, which contains ten official SAT exams for you to practice on. To get the most out of your practice, you should have access to detailed solutions, like the ones found in Test Masters Complete Solutions to the SAT Study Guide. These solutions are not available in the College Board's book and help you pinpoint your weaknesses to prepare better for the SAT.
3. Are We There Yet?
The week leading up to the SAT is stressful, but you should take time to map out a route to your testing center ahead of time. This helps ensure you get to your test on time and with a minimum of stress. Remember that construction and other changes don't always show up on most online maps.
4. License and Registration, Please
Remember that you must take valid identification with you the morning of the SAT. According to the College Board, your ID must be current, have a photo of you, have your name on it in English, and match the name on your Admission Ticket. This includes driver's licenses, state-issued IDs, school IDs, valid passports, or a student ID form prepared by your school. They will not accept social security cards, credit cards, birth certificates, expired passports, or a yearbook. You should organize all the stuff you're taking to the test the night before and enjoy a stress-free morning before the test.
5. Know the Section Instructions
When do you think the right time to read the SAT instructions are? Is it in a chilly classroom at an uncomfortable desk with the clock ticking? Nope! You should have the instructions understood before you even set foot in a testing center. Review them when you take practice tests and soon they'll be second nature. The reward for your efforts? More time to spend actually answering questions.

Originally known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test, SAT is now formally called the SAT Reasoning Test. It is a standard examination for college admissions in the United States. Although this test was not originally designed for measuring a students academic achievement, it has now become the main gateway for admissions in most major colleges and universities across the country. Here are some tips for preparing SAT.

When you consider the intense competition, it is vitally important for the student to prepare and study hard for the Reasoning Test in advance. In more recent times new sections have been added which include one for writing. Therefore, students must really be consistently good in vocabulary, math, grammar and have good writing skills.
The applicant will be tested on all sections which is why it is vitally important to study and prepare well for all of them, because generally speaking you cannot excel in one and do poorly in another and expect to pass. The test will measure your performance over all three sections. There are institutions that can offer SAT coaching classes which could really be helpful to ensure that you are ready and you will know what to expect.
The subject matter is pretty straightforward for most people coming out of high school. For example the mathematics test will cover geometry and algebra, but does not cover trigonometry or calculus or other more advanced mathematical subjects. So if you are proficient in these areas then you should do well with the mathematics part of the testing.
The reading test is quite important and the passages will be at a standard high school reading level. Another section is the writing test which will include a timed essay and will focus on some common grammatical errors and will not go much into punctuation or conventional expressions. In other words most high school seniors will be pretty well prepared for the SAT as far as the subject matter, as they have studied these extensively already in school.
The SAT is a very logical test that is not really as hard as it may seem. It will test the students mind in a number of ways, but with the proper guidance and preparation, along with good study habits the student can get through it without a lot of difficulty. It would be a wise decision to start studying and preparing about a year before the actual test is taken.
There are many different sources for information on how to study and pass the SAT, and lot of people go online for more resources and to find different study guides and articles which will help them become more prepared. Others may attend classes that are being offered in their community. Whichever method you decide on the key is to start early and work hard.
