01 / Get familiar
What you’ll practise.
The practice presents fictional workplace situations with several possible responses. Choose the response you consider most appropriate, taking account of the details in the scenario.
Feedback uses the practice material’s answer explanations to help you compare your choices and reasoning. It is a way to reflect on decisions, rather than memorising a universal response for every situation.

04 / Before you begin
Common questions.
What is the SJT test?
The practice presents fictional workplace scenarios with several possible responses. Read the details and choose the response you consider most appropriate.
How is the SJT scored?
Options in the practice material carry different scores. The result and explanations help you compare the reasoning behind your selections; they are not an official employer scoring key.
How long does the test take?
The current practice mocks have a 20-minute time limit. Read each scenario carefully and consider the options before answering.
What makes a "good" answer?
Good answers prioritize safety, follow procedures, consider others, and maintain professionalism. Quick fixes that break protocol or compromise safety are usually incorrect.
Can I see the correct answers?
After completing the test, you'll see detailed feedback showing your responses and the ideal answers. This helps you understand the reasoning behind correct responses and improve for future attempts.
How accurate are the practice tests?
These are original practice scenarios for becoming familiar with workplace decision-making questions. They are independent material, rather than copies of an employer’s assessment or an official scoring standard.
Can I practise for free?
