Sova Tests
Sova Assessment is a UK-based tech company that offers a data-driven talent assessment platform which allows organizations to evaluate personality, motivation, competency and ability, particularly when recruiting.

Sova video interview
In the video interview you will be asked a series of questions, which will appear in a pre-recorded video segment as well as written as text.
You will have one minute to consider the question and prepare your response, followed by up to three minutes to record the response. You cannot re-record your response.
There will be one practice question to ensure all your equipment works and your background is clear, clean, uncluttered and there is no background noise.
The video interview is designed to be similar to a face-to-face interview but without the logistics of all candidates having to travel. The questions asked will be specific to the requirements of the recruiting organisation, and usually take place at the first round of the interview process.
How are Sova tests taken?
Sova tests are completed virtually from your choice of location using a remote Zoom-based platform referred to as a Virtual Assessment Centre.
Access to your PC/tablet camera and microphone is required as the assessment is online via video call, so you will need to ensure that you have stable broadband internet in your choice of remote environment.
You will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your device. Required minimum bandwidth is 600kbps (up/down); the recommended minimum is 1.5 Mbps (up/down).
You may still require a pen, paper and calculator to use during the tests.
Which employers use Sova tests?
In common with many aptitude tests, Sova tests measure the suitability of a candidate in an unbiased way. With one unified platform and a scientific approach to testing, many employers use Sova tests as part of their recruitment process, including:
Tips on how to prepare for Sova tests
Check your technology
Don’t let your technology let you down. Check that you have downloaded Zoom, can access the platform, that you have a working camera and microphone and so on, as well as checking your internet speed.
Read the question properly
All the information will be contained in the scenarios, so do not be tempted to make assumptions, apply additional information or answer something which is not being asked.
Prepare your environment
Ensure that you have thought through all the potential scenarios where you may need additional resources, e.g. make sure you have paper, pencil, calculator and any other specified requirements to hand. Set yourself up somewhere quiet with a plain background where you will not be disturbed for the duration of your assessment. Lastly, have water, tissues and so on to hand, as well as a clock.
Research the company
While you need to answer the questions based on your own personal knowledge and gut feeling, it cannot hurt to be thoroughly prepared on the values desired by the company for which you are interviewing, so you can be confident that you align with those values.
Practice
Remember that you will be assessed on both accuracy and speed. As such, you’ll need to practice to ensure that you have allowed enough time for each answer, so that you are not caught out by any time limits (in particular for the video interview).
Don’t rush
You’ll need to read and understand all the information given to you, so don’t skim-read or you might miss something vital.
How are Sova tests scored?
Sova tests are scored with one mark per correct answer. Although there is no time limit, your final score will also reflect how quickly you reached those correct answers.
Are Sova tests difficult?
Sova tests are not difficult in that they are not a test for which you have to learn vast swathes of information. They are, however, easier to take and do well at when you have practiced and prepared, and understand what you will be asked to do and how best you should approach each test.
How long is a Sova test?
There is no time frame for completing a Sova test, although the time taken to complete the test will count towards your final score. As a general rule you should be able to answer most questions within 45 seconds per answer, reducing to 30 seconds for a verbal test question.

I find it hard because I haven't done it before
It's a really good test to do for preparation purpose and before going for actual one. As I haven't done it before I think that's hard for me, but yes, after practicing it properly I will be good at this.

Extremely Fun!
It was pretty fun and exciting although I wish the sample test involved different aspects of the actual Sova assessment and not just logic/sequence-based.

Just be able to follow the logic flow
It's basic, doesn't require paper and simply requires you to observe the logical flow of each question.

Pattern sequencing
I enjoy these types of puzzles, but don't really understand how this can show whether I am good at a certain job or not.

Learning to see patterns
I liked the simplicity of the test so far as user interface. It was quick, and reactive to my interactions.

Just logic test
Useful but just a logic sova test. Also seemingly lacking in variation in that it was the same 'sort' of sequential logic applied in all but one case.

Good practice in tracking multiple components
These tests are invaluable when it comes to logical sequence questions. Good practice in tracking multiple shapes and not answering too quickly.
