AstraZeneca early talent · SHL general ability test
The general ability part of the online assessment, which applicants call G+. Practise it in the format of SHL Verify Interactive G+ (General Ability): numerical, deductive and inductive questions, interactive and against the clock.
One test free, no card. Then five full tests, unlimited retakes and your standing against everyone who sat the same test for £29.99. One payment, nothing renews.
Numerical, deductive and inductive reasoning. Those are the three abilities SHL's general ability test scores, and the three grades AstraZeneca applicants have reported. Every test here has all three.
Applicants in the 2026 cycle described interactive questions. Here you drag a point to a value, resize the bars of a chart, pick dates on a calendar and rank people from clues. Built for applicants to the 2027 intake.
Practice that is far harder or far easier than the real thing teaches the wrong pace. Current graduates on AstraZeneca's graduate programmes have looked through our free test and confirmed it matches the assessment they sat, in format and in difficulty. One of them put it simply: it “looks pretty identical”.
One part of the online assessment. The other part asks you to choose the statements most like you. We sell no practice for that part: it asks who you are, and the useful preparation is reading AstraZeneca's values. Why we leave it alone.
Look at the email. If it mentions SHL, general ability, G+, or numerical, deductive and inductive reasoning, this is the practice for it, whichever programme you applied to.
Graduate, industrial placement, internship and apprenticeship applicants have all reported an SHL assessment. What each programme is sent is AstraZeneca's decision, so your own invitation has the final word. What applicants report, in full.
Your standing
A raw score says little by itself. In the 2025 cycle, AstraZeneca applicants were given a letter grade for each reasoning type, and one reported being told by AstraZeneca that their results were above the threshold. Nobody outside the process knows where that threshold sits.
What you can know is how your score compares. Every timed test you sit here is placed against a pool of 938 timed attempts on record, test by test, the moment you submit. Sit the free test and you can see that your standing is ready. Premium shows you the number, on every test, every time.
Measured against attempts at this practice test. It is a practice benchmark and says nothing about where AstraZeneca sets its threshold.
Our full-length practice test
This is the format SHL publishes for SHL Verify Interactive G+, its interactive general ability test: up to 24 questions in 36 minutes, scored on numerical, deductive and inductive reasoning. Ours has eight questions of each, at SHL's pace of ninety seconds a question. AstraZeneca does not publish the length of its own assessment, so check your invitation for the time you will have. See what is reported, and by whom.
Applicants in the 2026 cycle described the reasoning questions as interactive, the format of SHL Verify Interactive G+. Here that means you answer by doing: drag a point to a value, resize the bars of a chart, adjust a pie chart to a described split, pick dates on a calendar, fit tasks into a day, rank people from a set of clues, complete a pattern. Multiple-choice practice trains none of that, and every question here is interactive. Try one below.
Drag each point to plot the completion rate for that team.

| Team D | 160 | 96 |
| Team E | 300 | 210 |
All points placed. Drag to adjust, or use ↑/↓ when focused.
Sit the free test first, with no payment details. If it is worth it to you, one payment buys Premium for a fixed period, with every test retaken as often as you like. There is no subscription and nothing renews.

If your invitation mentions SHL, a general ability test or G+, this is the practice for it: numerical, deductive and inductive questions in an interactive format, against the clock. Current graduates on AstraZeneca's graduate programmes have looked through our free test and confirmed it matches the assessment they sat, in format and in difficulty. One of them put it simply: it “looks pretty identical”. The first full test is free, so you can compare it with your own invitation before you pay anything.
SHL Verify Interactive G+ is SHL's interactive general ability test. It scores three abilities: numerical, deductive and inductive reasoning. AstraZeneca applicants call the reasoning part of their assessment G+, and in earlier cycles they received a grade for each of those three abilities. Our tests follow SHL's published format for it: 24 interactive questions in 36 minutes, eight of each kind. AstraZeneca itself does not name the product it uses.
No. It is the reasoning part. Applicants also describe a behavioural part in the same assessment, where you choose the statements most like you, with no time limit. In earlier cycles that part was a situational judgement test reported as low, medium or high, and AstraZeneca's apprenticeship process still names one. We sell no practice for it.
Because it asks who you are. Applicants describe picking the statements that sound most like them, and say there is little to prepare. AstraZeneca publishes five values: We follow the science, We put patients first, We play to win, We do the right thing, and We are entrepreneurial. Read them, think about how you work, and answer honestly and consistently. The reasoning part is the one that rewards practice, so that is the part we built.
No, and nobody outside the process has them. What transfers is the format: the kinds of interactive question applicants describe, answered against a clock, with no going back to an earlier question.
Those are the figures SHL publishes for SHL Verify Interactive G+, its interactive general ability test, and every full test here follows them: ninety seconds a question. AstraZeneca does not publish the length of its own assessment, so your invitation gives the time you will have.
Applicants in the 2026 cycle described the reasoning questions as interactive, the format of SHL Verify Interactive G+, and every question here is interactive: you drag, adjust and click to build your answer, against the clock.
Applicants to graduate programmes in the UK and Sweden, industrial placements, summer internships and apprenticeships have all reported an SHL assessment. The graduate reports cover R&D bioscience and chemistry, data science and AI, pharmaceutical technology and development, and operations. What you are sent depends on your programme and the year, so your invitation is the last word.
A high score alone does not. In the 2025 cycle, applicants with three A grades reported being rejected, and an applicant with three C grades was invited. One applicant reported being told by AstraZeneca that their results were above the threshold for its programmes, so a threshold exists and a low result can rule you out. Beyond that, applicants describe a decision that weighs the whole application.
No. AstraZeneca decides which assessment each applicant is sent and can change it between programmes and years, so nobody outside the company can promise what yours will contain. That is why the first full test is free and needs no card: sit it, compare it with your invitation, and buy only if it is what you need. The refund terms are set out in full in our Terms of Service.
No. One payment buys a fixed period of access and then it simply ends. Nothing renews, and you are never charged again unless you choose to buy again.
