The Electronic Data Processing Test, commonly encountered in its abbreviated form as the EDPT Test, is notoriously difficult and raises the level of nervousness for the candidates that encounter it. This test is frequently administered to candidates for Military Marine Corps and Air Force positions that specialize in Information Technology and Computer Programming. A mere 10% of candidates pass the EDPT test. To maximize the chances of beating the competition you will need to be dedicated, efficient, and meticulously prepared by practicing your EDPT test-taking skills.

Our handpicked and tailor-made EDPT Test Preparation Package consists of 57 tests with a total of 1142 questions! The representative Electronic Data Processing Test components developed by our team of business psychologists are:

Abstract Reasoning

The meaning of Abstract Reasoning in essence boils down to the capacity to analyze non-verbal visual information in which patterns must be uncovered and reconfigured to formulate logical inferences that can be tested. Abstract Reasoning entails the ability to have sharp and fast reasoning while being able to unravel, incorporate and rearrange new information to create practical and often unique solutions by using lateral and flexible thinking.  Being good at Abstract Reasoning indicates that you are generally capable of solving complex unfamiliar problems, largely independent of prior knowledge and beliefs.

Now that we have theoretically dissected the concept of Abstract Reasoning let's put your skills to the test with an Abstract Reasoning Question! The correct answer to the example question above is D.

Mental Arithmetic Test

A Mental Arithmetic Test is designed to measure your ability to answer problems using basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and percentages. Mental arithmetic tests are designed to measure a candidate’s basic numeracy and can be categorized as a speed test.

Number Sequences

Number Sequences tests are one of the most commonly observed aptitude tests for job applications because of their pragmatism, and speed. In this test, you are to find the missing number in a given sequence. This initial sequence has a defined pattern and you are to determine this pattern and thereby find the missing number.

Here are 10 questions of our FREE Number Sequences Practice Test:

Math Word Problem Test

The Math Word Problem Test assesses a unique and tricky combination of numerical and verbal comprehension. The candidate is provided with a verbal statement that has several implicit arithmetic statements interlaced in the passage that are followed by a question. It is the candidate's task to provide the correct multiple-choice answer.

Verbal Analogies

Verbal Analogies are a type of basic word problem comprised of two different pairs of words. Both words of one of the related word pairs are revealed and only one word of the other related word pair is revealed. The candidate has to find the correct related word out of a set of multiple-choice answers that fits in the given context.

The golden rule that you must follow to optimize your EDPT Test scores is an obvious one, PRACTICE!

Practice for psychometric tests is misunderstood, and undervalued as there is a general belief that you can't increase your test scores. Nevertheless, dedicated practice is the most essential tool in the assessment training toolkit that you can use to achieve your well-deserved and rewarding job as it is shown to increase your fluid intelligence!

A review of over 50 scientific studies by Hausknecht et al (2007) showed that you can boost your assessment test scores by up to 35% in a matter of days when you are fully engaged in a couple of focused, well-structured, and productive practice sessions. The main methods in which such astounding results can be achieved are through:

1. Practice decreases your anxiety levels because familiarity with the test consequentially decreases your stress levels as physiologically encountering the stressors that come with the test examination beforehand, calms the mind and the levels of cortisol in the brain which are known to decrease cognitive performance.

2. Practice provides you quick access to proven-test-taking strategies when the pressure intensifies during time-constrained tests.

3. Neuroscientific data shows that brain-training programs like our e-learning platform enhance your focus and ability to identify the correct patterns.

To stand out from the crowd and be in the top 10% of candidates that pass the EDPT Test, you will have to sharpen your mental acuity and mental agility. Start practicing, to enhance your fluid intelligence and ace that EDPT test to leave the rest of the competition behind!

EDPT - Mathematics - Tips and Tricks

• Elementary addition or subtraction: Each consecutive number in the sequence is computed by adding or subtracting a number to the previous number.
• Basic multiplication: Each number in the sequence is found by multiplying the previous number by a whole number or a fraction of that number.
• Using multiple basic arithmetic functions: In some series, more than one operation (multiplications, divisions, additions, and/or subtractions) is used. For example - 7, 9, 18, 20, 40 ( add 2, multiply by 2, add 2, multiply by 2, etc). 
• Prime numbers: prime numbers is a natural number are numbers greater than 1 and can't be divided by any number apart from 1 and itself, e.g. 11, 13, 17, 19.
• Arithmetic sequences: In an arithmetic sequence the difference between one term and the next is constant e.g. 1,7,13,19,25. The value-added each time (+6) is called the ‘common difference’. 
• Geometric sequences: entails multiplying by the same value each time. For instance, a sequence of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 has a multiplication pattern of 2.  This number is called the ‘common ratio’.
• Square numbers: They are the square of whole numbers, such as 1 (=1x1), 4 (=2x2), 9 (=3x3), and 16 (=4x4).
• Fibonacci numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 etc. The Fibonacci sequence is found by adding the two numbers before it together. The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1), the 21 is found by adding 8 and 13, etc.

EDPT - Abstract Reasoning - Tips and Tricks

• Rotation matters as every figure can rotate. This can be clockwise or counterclockwise. Try to see whether you can spot how many degrees the rotation of the figures change and whether that number increases or decreases between cells in the matrix either horizontally or vertically.
• Positioning matters as every figure can move places in the grid. The movement can be a specific number of steps horizontally and/or vertically. As a test taker try to rasterize the square cells of the matrix into as many points as you need to infer how many steps the figure has moved.
• Size and shape matters as figures frequently change in size but they also tend to change in shape. For the more advanced questions, figures can change both in size and shape. 
• shadings and filling matter. ask yourself how the colors and shadings change within and between figures.
• Counting matters. It may be the case that the objects and shapes in the figures are even or uneven. Count whether an x number of shape sides (triangle, rectangle, pentagon, etc) in the figure. Count to figure out if the numbers increase or decrease within and between figures and if there is any odd-even number of addition or subtraction or even a multiplicative or divisive force at work.

EDPT - Verbal - Tips and Tricks

• Think of a context for the stem word (the word given); try to use the stem word in an example sentence in this context.
  
• Try to think of antonyms for the given stem word. Also, consider secondary meanings of the stem word.
• Read all the answer options before you decide the word farthest in meaning to the stem word.
• Break down unfamiliar words into recognizable parts - prefix, suffix, and root word.
