Wow, thank you for sharing your love and giving some credit. This video got temporarily banned by Arctic Shores and I had to fight to get it back online. So glad it is helping! Good luck for your new job 👊
Thanks, I had do to this for Amazon and your video helped massively, got really good feedback from the tests and I managed to get a face to face interview after passing the game stage.
That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing your experience, and I wish you good luck the next steps of the recruiting steps (it's looong at amazon...). Do you know if amazon uses the test now across the board (somebody else who applied to amazon recently said he also had to take the test), or is it used for certain positions? Also, how does amazon label (name) the test? If you do not like to answer in public, kindly contact me on LinkedIn, would be super interested to hear this 🙂
Gowling WLG uses this for their online assessment and I found this video very helpful in preparing for this assessment. The test is exactly as described. For anyone else taking the test I would say not to focus on getting the task right, but focus on showing a thought through process. I tried too hard to get the best results, and some of my test results came back saying I was too impulsive, and did not adapt to contexts. Thanks very much for this video 👍
Hi Katie, thanks for letting me know, I did not know Gowling WLG uses the Arctic Shores assessment, too. Your advice is useful. Interesting you got the feedback of "overly impulsive" 🤔
Ice got broken. Very helpful video better than going blind on the assessment. I did mine today for PA consulting. They gave me three tasks to do, Tickets, directions and expressions. I believe I did good on tickets and expressions, but for the directions, the arrows were switching very quickly form the beginning of the task which wasn’t easy to deal with. Hope I get a response from them soon. Thanks again.
Hi there! Thank you very much for sharing your report. Interesting that you had to take only three of the assessments, and indeed the arrows "game" belongs to the nastiest ones. I wish you that you did well onm all of them! Best wishes, Jack
Just want to say thank you for your help in the video. Put a lot of my stress at ease. Not sure if I’ve got it or not but honesty I believe I did so much better than I would have if I didn’t watch this video. I would say for the expressions task, I think it helps to look at their eyebrows and their lip positioning. Downwards turned lips - sadness. Open lips - surprised. Raised eyebrows with wide eyes- surprised. Frowning brows - Angry Turned up lip - (like a snarl) angry Disgusted is a bit harder because it could be fear or surprise. I believe the features might be the key and not the overall expression (if that makes sense) Might sound a bit patronising to people who can read expressions well but because it’s AI it’s a lot tricker. Thank you again! God bless
Hey there! Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am very happy my video made you feel both more prepared for the test and relaxed! Thank you for sharing your tips on the expressions game. I think you are spot on. It is not about reading actual emotions but learning the details that are (ab-)used as clues for these emotions!
Hi Jack, just wanted to say your video was incredibly helpful for my assessment! I really appreciated your sense of humor and the way you explained everything so clearly while sharing such great tips. Thank you!
This video helped me get into PwC and now I am in the admission process for AIRBUS with the same tests..... Had to look at this video again. Thanks for the help!
Wow, you watched it twice!! And you had to take the same test twice... now you are a Master Expert! I wish you best of luck with your career transition! Best, Jack
Thanks for this amazing video, it simplified and made the assessment easy. Got a very nice feedback too. I hope to get to the next stage of the interview. Fingers crossed
I just completed Amazon assessment - I had Ticket, Direction, Expression and Security. I had three good feedbacks and one was not that great but I learnt so much about myself. Your video was very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is good that you say you have learned a lot about yourself, but I would not take the personality assessments based on 5 minutes "games" to heart.
Thank you very much, please can you share with me that I got the personal user ID from the Arctic shores for the assessment test on 26th but I don't know what to put that id there's no instructions in the email too. Thank you .
Thank you for the incredibly helpful video on the Arctic Shores assessment! It clarified so much for me and really boosted my confidence. Keep up the great work! I had game called "Balance". I tried to explain better here. Hope it will be helpful to everyone. In the game "Balance," initially there are four tubes: First Tube: Contains various shaped objects. Second Tube: Contains objects that are equivalent in value to the objects in the first tube. Third Tube: Contains different shaped objects. Fourth Tube: Our task is to determine the shapes that are equivalent to those in the third tube. For example: First Tube: 2 star shapes and 1 cube shape. Second Tube: 3 diamond shapes. This shows that 2 stars and 1 cube are equivalent to 3 diamonds. Now, consider the third and fourth tubes: Third Tube: 1 star shape and 2 cube shapes. Fourth Tube: You need to find the equivalent shapes. Based on the previous equivalence, you might determine that: 1 star shape is equivalent to 1.5 diamond shapes (half the value of 2 stars). 2 cube shapes are equivalent to 2 diamond shapes. So, 1 star shape and 2 cube shapes would be equivalent to 1.5 + 2 = 3.5 diamond shapes. As the game progresses, the number of tubes increases. I have encountered up to 8 tubes, where the challenge is to find the answer for the 8th tube.
Hi there! WOW, thank you for your nice compliments AND taking the time to share your experience with the YOUinConsultng community. This is extremely helpful!!! The balance game had not been there at the time of making of the video. Thank you for breaking it down, even with an example 😉 Your description is very clear. In regards to your example (1 star, 2 cubes and 3 diamonds), I think it is not possible to infer the value of stars and cubes, since it is one equation with three unknowns. I therefore also do not fully get how you derive the values of 1 star and 1 cube in your example. Anyway, the principle is clear now! I hope you have passed your assignment 🙂
Thank you for this walk thru. The tests was exactly as you described here. Your explanation of these tests was important to my passing these tests and happy to have done so.
I liked your video a lot, it was interactive, free!!, funny and practically the same I took recently, one advice I would give for the lock spinning thing is to try different approaches; like covering part of your window and focus only in the number the needle is hovering on. Thank you sir
Thank you very much, I am happy you enjoyed my video and found it useful! Thank you for your additional tips on the security game, did you manage to crack the lock in your game?
I just appeared for one and it had another game called balance. The feedback after the game was good I hope I get to the next level. Your video was a savior. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for raising awareness about the balance game. You are the second candidate who recently reported back on it. I have it on my radar, thank you! And thank you for your kind words 🙂 Good luck!
@@overallburrito It's like equations, e.g if there's a balance scale with one side one square and another side 2 circles forming a balance, then they will give you another scale with 2 square in one side and you need to put the certain shaped object on the other side which will create a balance, in this case 4 circles.
Good evening colleagues! Yesterday, I passed my game-based and english assessment for PwC Here are my results on HigherVue: Math(Combination, Multiplication and etc): 63 level Pathfinder: 27 level Psychometric: 33 level I am a bit dissapointed, but waiting for some positive feedback.
@@YOUinConsulting Hi! im here to announce that i have just received the test result and i passed the test! still need to take some other tests for the next stage, but i wanna say thankyou for this video. It really helped me with those arctic shores tests. i know i am not get the job yet, so please pray for me LOL 😅
Wow you like leaving things to the last minute 😃 I hope the tutorial has come just in time for you. Interesting that amazon uses this test now, too, that is news to me! May I ask how amazon calls the test, and do you know if it is used for a specific position or across the organization? If you do not like to respond in public, you can also contact me through linkedin or by email. Thanks!
@@YOUinConsulting I don’t know if it’s used across the board but me personally I applied for an apprenticeship position in IT and they sent me an email regarding Artic Shores as the next part of their assessment stage.
@@YOUinConsulting however this video got me through to the next stage of the assessment!! Thank you for your help and information, everything you covered came up apart from the last 2 games. I guess it was fate😉
M8 I just had a test on amazon jobs started with a game which is not mentioned here or anywhere at all: called the "balance game" ... any info on that? Not even AI gave a correct answer on these I think.. no chance to check results or logics behind it. Hardest thing ever in my life.
Hey mate, I am sorry that you struggled with the Balance game. It is a new game Arctic Shores has launches after I created this tutorial; maybe I need to do an update video some day just on that game. Some other candidates have reported about it in the comments here as well. I keep my fingers crossed that you have nevertheless managed to get through 🙂
Thanks for help my games were slightly different i had balance (i think you should make a video on this one), order, sequence, energy, direction, team, ticket, preparation, expression (lol) and security. i think ive done enough to pass but never know definately wouldnt have done it without this videos and other resources
Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback, that is super interesting 👍 You are the first person reporting the "balance" game - would you mind sending me an email? I am happy you think you have managed to pass, and thank you for giving some credit! 🙂
@@SweetPeaPod12 Yeah it is pretty tricky and although i thought I did ok theres no way to tell yet, and I could have improved. Also a lot of companies have different levels they want you to reach. Hopefully you did ok! I got rejected despite doing well in all my games but then they re-opened for the same role lol, i reapplied and they just skipped me through, then i got rejected at the next stage haha. Some companies are just messy.
@@YOUinConsulting yeah its a move from the fighting game tekken that requires you to press two buttons at 1/60 of a second. Some of this training actually translated in the tasks that requires you to process data really fast, like the one with the arrows. I got a really high scores on those from what i can tell from the results.
@@panagiotismichalopoulos5562 Ahahaha thanks for the clarification. I found a "Tekken 7 Electric Wind God Fist EWGF Tutorial", now I have an idea 😄 Love your nerdy reference!
Thank you for serving as a prison officer! Wow - I cannot believe they make you go through THIS sort of test? I hope you still feel being taken seriously 🙏
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I took the test yesterday however there is a new game added called order/puzzle. It was pretty challenging. Could you please make a video on it.
Hi there! Please download my free test prepkit. I am afraid though I am not aware of a free Arctic Shores test simulation, I believe my video is the best you can get 🙂
Thanks, I received a mail from PwC to complete the assessment and it mentions that it contains behavioral and aptitude tests. So does this mean there will be other tests included other than the one mentioned in the video? This is for the graduate role
@@YOUinConsulting Your assessment is made up of two sections - a behaviour-based part, and an aptitude part. The behaviour-based assessment contains no questions. Instead, it's a series of engaging, intuitive tasks. As you respond to each task, we'll collect data that paints an accurate picture of your natural strengths. Then, we'll compare those strengths to the ones linked to success in the role, company culture, or both. The best way to succeed? Just be yourself. Then, we've designed the aptitude part to test your reasoning ability. You'll need to apply logical reasoning here, interpreting the information you're given to solve a series of problems. Therefore, we recommend taking a break before beginning these tasks - 'Sticky Notes' and 'Analysis'. You can leave your assessment and return to it after an hour, two hours or even the next day. But please don't miss your deadline! So what is the aptitude part?

Get it 👍 The first paragraph certainly refers to the Arctic Shores game. Analysis most likely refers to a numerical test. I have heard it is 18 questions long, then ut could be the SHL - Numerical Reasoning Test (you find a video on the SHL test on my channel, too. Sticky notes I am not sure. Kindly report back 👍
if this was done on the phone or tablet (not computer), how would the Q & P operate - would there be a left and right button on the screen, or do you have to use a built in keyboard?
Hey this was super helpful thank you so much! I just thought I’d let you know at 20:34 when u start talking about expression, I believe you used the word beginning with R to describe this game. Please note if this is what I think you said, it’s quite offensive to use in the UK! Just so you are aware, I’m sure you meant no malice by it!
Hey thank you for your feedback and your thoughtful comment! Interesting, I did not know it was that offensive. I just meant in the way of "the most stupid" game, so I cannot use it for that?
Hi, while placing strips on the laptop screen before sequence game, do we get time before the game starts to view the positions of circle? so that i can place the strips in correct position below the circles. giving test this week for aemo-australia energy market operator
You should be presented with a brief tutorial before the game starts allowing you to familiarize yourself with the grid. You then place the strips on the grid lines between where the circles start.
Thank you for the video! I my assessment today and think it all went pretty well apart from the electricity game. I did each power lever twice at the start and ruled out one of them as it gave a negative return. The one that gave 100+ hit me with -1250 quite frequently so I stopped using that one and just used the two 50+ ones which had little decreases every now and then. So I think I ended up somewhere between 2000-3000 by the end. Because I was still quite short of the 6000, does that mean I probably failed the test or because I showed some logic I will still get credit? Once I selected the two I was going to persist with I started clicking pretty quickly so hopefully that doesn't look too bad.
Hi Chris, thanks for sharing your self-reflection. I think you did right by recognizing the "quick & greedy" solution did not work out. You recognized the pattern and avoided that switch and chose the more risk-averse approach, which the software probably regognized. However, as said in the video, it is a black box and we do not know exactly what it detects or not. Anyway, you did not go bust, so I think you should relax and wait for your results!
I revised through these videos but the questions were completely different! I got the balancing shape and sequencing shape game! This is so frustrating
Hi there! Are you sure you took a version of the Arctic Shores assessment? If you read through the comments, most viewers face 1:1 what they see in this video. However, it is normal that Arctic Shores tries to innovate and develop new games that may appear for some candidates. At some point, that implies I shall make a new video 🙂 Still, I hope you benefited from getting into the "playing" 🙄 mindset and have rocked your test!
Thank you for this video! I have never heard of these kinds of tests until now. Most of them seem quite nonsensical and like a waste of time and ressources to be honest.
Yes, Arctic Shores is very good at "hiding" its brand, but its Skyrise City games are used by many companies for their branded online assessments. Pymetrics is another provider of a gamified online assessment. Yes, these "games" are disguised as fun, but actually used to filter the applicants, just as all the other "more established" online assessments. I'm glad you are aware now 👍
May I ask you why you even bother to do research on the Arctic Shores test after you have already successfully completed it 😀 No, it is not trivial to pass these tests whereas of course it is not impossible either! Furthermore, each Arctic Shores client company may set individual threshold levels, which can vary with their fluctuating hiring targets. I say a bit more about this at minute 05:08 of the video. Good luck for your interview! 😀
I hope I came to the right Channel, as I just received this: Amazon Apprenticeship Application-Invite to the next stage from Arctic Shores. Is this video enough for the preparation? Has anyone done this before?
Glad you found my channel and video 🙂 Yes, this video covers the Arctic Shores assessment that awaits you. If you browse through the comment section, occasionally a handful of new games appear in addition, but this tutorial still covers the 10 core games of the test. And please report back on your test & question experience 🙌🏼 Good luck for your test!
No. Games like the balloons game, the energy game or the security game do not have a time limit. Others do, such as the sequence, directions and ticket games as well as the patterns and analysis assignments.
No panic bro! By watching this video you probably already know more than 95% of other candidates 😀 I'm afraid I'm not aware of free practice games, there is complete solution of the Arctic Shores assessment, which is a paid one: breaktheice.youinconsulting.com/ You can also watch my Pymetrics games video tutorial to further calm your soul 😉 given there are a lot of similarities between the two assessments.
I had the misfortune of being confronted with these games. Just seems this company has found a way to scam money from big companies with psuedo psych tests. But that said thanks for the tips, maybe i can find a way to get past this bull.
Hahaha thanks for your candid words! 👌 Where you cannot change reality, you can at least brace yourself to face it 💪 Well done, Sir - good luck for the test and enjoy the "games"... 😉
@@YOUinConsultinghi, i have an up coming exam for AEMO, should i expect similar games in assessment? And any thing extra i need to be prepared for test? I want to reach any level to practice and clear this test
Hi, does AEMO stand for the Australian Energy Market Operator? If it still deals you the Arctic Shores test, then the games in the video are those to expect. You can watch some parts of the video again during the breaks between your games to refresh your mind. I think there is no need to acquire further knowledge. If you want to practice the test in a simulation before taking it, there is the paid simulation available.
@@Fragrancefreak4442 Ok, mir ist nicht klar, ob es an meiner Aussprache oder Deinen Englischkenntnissen liegt. In jedem Fall hoffe ich, dass Dir die Untertitel - und vor allem das Video! 😉 - weiterhelfen!
Hello, Could I pay you to do my assessment? I’m so tired of being rejected, I feel because I’m neurodiverse I’ll never get a chance to get into certain companies, this is so unfair. I’ll applying for graduate roles but I’m starting to feel discouraged
Hi there! Thank you for putting your heart out there. First, I am sorry about your frustration. As per my understanding, neurodiversity describes a situation where a brain works different from the "norm". Does it count as a disability? I mean for all tests, all companies and test providers claim that if you come with a certain condition, you should contact them in advance to taking the test so that they can make adjustments, such as giving you extra time. I am not sure whether this is to your disadvantage, given companies also have diversity hiring targets, and in some countries, are encouraged to hire employees with a disability. Second, I am receiving a surpringly high number of requests from applicants who ask me to take their test on their behalf. I am afraid this is illegal and I must reject such requests. Depending on your specific situation, I suggest you find out what is the best way for you to prepare for and take such assignments.

@@YOUinConsulting I don’t know if it’s used across the board but me personally I applied for an apprenticeship position in IT and they sent me an email regarding Artic Shores as the next part of their assessment stage.
@@YOUinConsulting however this video got me through to the next stage of the assessment!! Thank you for your help and information, everything you covered came up apart from the last 2 games. I guess it was fate😉
@@brz6336 Wow, it's being used everywhere now... thank you so much for sharing! 👍🏼
Really good information and well explined. Thanks for your effort. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your kind words of appreciation 🙂
wish i saw this before taking the assessment! probably failed this one, but for next time I will come prepared =)
How come you discovered my video tutorial only after the test? 🙂 And why still watch it... cannot yet let it go...? 😈😉
Ice got broken1 Thank you, going to do my assessment later today :) xx
Well done! I hope you can put some ice cubes into your long drink enjoyed after passing your assessment 🍸😉
M8 I just had a test on amazon jobs started with a game which is not mentioned here or anywhere at all: called the "balance game" ... any info on that? Not even AI gave a correct answer on these I think.. no chance to check results or logics behind it. Hardest thing ever in my life.
Hey mate, I am sorry that you struggled with the Balance game. It is a new game Arctic Shores has launches after I created this tutorial; maybe I need to do an update video some day just on that game. Some other candidates have reported about it in the comments here as well. I keep my fingers crossed that you have nevertheless managed to get through 🙂
Thank you ,this video helps me so much to pass my assessment task
@@asmakarimpour7239 Fantastic to hear that! 🙂
i wish i had seen this video 15 days ago. btw thank you very good job.
Thank you for your feedback 👍 I hope watching it now did not stir a trauma! Did you pass?
nop but i will pass next time :)@@YOUinConsulting
@@ΓιώργοςΠ-η8δ I understand. Now you know how to prepare for the next time :) Good luck
Thanks for help my games were slightly different i had balance (i think you should make a video on this one), order, sequence, energy, direction, team, ticket, preparation, expression (lol) and security. i think ive done enough to pass but never know definately wouldnt have done it without this videos and other resources
Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback, that is super interesting 👍 You are the first person reporting the "balance" game - would you mind sending me an email? I am happy you think you have managed to pass, and thank you for giving some credit! 🙂
which firm was this for?
I had the balance game too! It was the worst one of all, all essentially too much algebra in not enough time, written as confusingly as possible.
@@YOUinConsulting Sorry i've only seen this now. I hope someone else managed to help as i'm sure others have played it by now.
@@SweetPeaPod12 Yeah it is pretty tricky and although i thought I did ok theres no way to tell yet, and I could have improved. Also a lot of companies have different levels they want you to reach. Hopefully you did ok! I got rejected despite doing well in all my games but then they re-opened for the same role lol, i reapplied and they just skipped me through, then i got rejected at the next stage haha. Some companies are just messy.
Thanks for the video. i just finished my Airbus assessment.
Hi bro, Did the assessment same as explained in this video. I've to complete airbus assessment.
I'm doing it tomorrow!!!!
I hope it went well, mate!
Brilliant thank you
Thanks so much 👊
Is the simulation you have provided in the document free of cost or paid?
Thank you so much, I was so confused by the energy one.
Haha glad we could sort that out 😉
I think I did pretty bad in that.. managed to get the Energy down to zero!
I knew that performing an electric wind god fist( a perfect frame move ) would be useful somewhere in the real world
Huh... Can you enlighten me in regards to the context of the electric wind god fist?
@@YOUinConsulting yeah its a move from the fighting game tekken that requires you to press two buttons at 1/60 of a second. Some of this training actually translated in the tasks that requires you to process data really fast, like the one with the arrows. I got a really high scores on those from what i can tell from the results.
@@panagiotismichalopoulos5562 Ahahaha thanks for the clarification. I found a "Tekken 7 Electric Wind God Fist EWGF Tutorial", now I have an idea 😄 Love your nerdy reference!
Thank you for helping me pass my assessment as a prison officer.
Thank you for serving as a prison officer! Wow - I cannot believe they make you go through THIS sort of test? I hope you still feel being taken seriously 🙏
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I took the test yesterday however there is a new game added called order/puzzle. It was pretty challenging. Could you please make a video on it.
Thank you for making me aware! I will pick that up for a future video. I hope you managed the test well! 👍
Thank you for your video! where can I practise a free version of similar questions? I just want to practise :)
Hi there! Please download my free test prepkit. I am afraid though I am not aware of a free Arctic Shores test simulation, I believe my video is the best you can get 🙂
Ice broken. thank you so much
Most welcome! Thank you for your kind comment 🙏
Thanks, I received a mail from PwC to complete the assessment and it mentions that it contains behavioral and aptitude tests. So does this mean there will be other tests included other than the one mentioned in the video? This is for the graduate role
Hi! Could you copy-paste the exact test you have received?
@@YOUinConsulting Your assessment is made up of two sections - a behaviour-based part, and an aptitude part.
The behaviour-based assessment contains no questions. Instead, it's a series of engaging, intuitive tasks. As you respond to each task, we'll collect data that paints an accurate picture of your natural strengths. Then, we'll compare those strengths to the ones linked to success in the role, company culture, or both. The best way to succeed? Just be yourself.
Then, we've designed the aptitude part to test your reasoning ability. You'll need to apply logical reasoning here, interpreting the information you're given to solve a series of problems. Therefore, we recommend taking a break before beginning these tasks - 'Sticky Notes' and 'Analysis'. You can leave your assessment and return to it after an hour, two hours or even the next day. But please don't miss your deadline!
So what is the aptitude part?

What does this mean
Get it 👍 The first paragraph certainly refers to the Arctic Shores game. Analysis most likely refers to a numerical test. I have heard it is 18 questions long, then ut could be the SHL - Numerical Reasoning Test (you find a video on the SHL test on my channel, too. Sticky notes I am not sure.
Kindly report back 👍
HI , I HAVE receive the same email from them , how was yours ? i hope you pass it .
if this was done on the phone or tablet (not computer), how would the Q & P operate - would there be a left and right button on the screen, or do you have to use a built in keyboard?
You can press the buttons on the screen
Hey this was super helpful thank you so much! I just thought I’d let you know at 20:34 when u start talking about expression, I believe you used the word beginning with R to describe this game. Please note if this is what I think you said, it’s quite offensive to use in the UK! Just so you are aware, I’m sure you meant no malice by it!
Hey thank you for your feedback and your thoughtful comment! Interesting, I did not know it was that offensive. I just meant in the way of "the most stupid" game, so I cannot use it for that?
@@YOUinConsulting Nope, it's a slur that is quite rude to those who are mentally disabled so probably best not to use that word
Hi using this to apply for a Singaporean University 😂 Thank you so much for this useful video 🙏🙏
Seriously, for a Singaporean University? Wow. These guys are everywhere now!!! 🤯
Hi, while placing strips on the laptop screen before sequence game, do we get time before the game starts to view the positions of circle? so that i can place the strips in correct position below the circles. giving test this week for aemo-australia energy market operator
You should be presented with a brief tutorial before the game starts allowing you to familiarize yourself with the grid. You then place the strips on the grid lines between where the circles start.
@@YOUinConsulting thank you. And when can i expect the feedback after the assessment?
That solely depends on the efficiency of the recruiting process of your target company 😀
Thank you for the video! I my assessment today and think it all went pretty well apart from the electricity game. I did each power lever twice at the start and ruled out one of them as it gave a negative return. The one that gave 100+ hit me with -1250 quite frequently so I stopped using that one and just used the two 50+ ones which had little decreases every now and then.
So I think I ended up somewhere between 2000-3000 by the end.
Because I was still quite short of the 6000, does that mean I probably failed the test or because I showed some logic I will still get credit? Once I selected the two I was going to persist with I started clicking pretty quickly so hopefully that doesn't look too bad.
Hi Chris, thanks for sharing your self-reflection. I think you did right by recognizing the "quick & greedy" solution did not work out. You recognized the pattern and avoided that switch and chose the more risk-averse approach, which the software probably regognized. However, as said in the video, it is a black box and we do not know exactly what it detects or not. Anyway, you did not go bust, so I think you should relax and wait for your results!
@@YOUinConsulting Thank you for your help :)
How do I do this on my computer. Is there a way to put this on my monitor display at 10:03
You usually take the test on a smartphone or tablet
@@YOUinConsulting i agree.. that would help a lot, I took my test on my laptop and it was pretty hard for some parts
EDF also has arctic shores assessment
These guys are expanding like crazy. Thanks for reporting!
how did your assessment go? Did you get selected/ progressed to the next step?
Ice got broken :), thanks for the video!
Yeah, you have done it!! 🔥🔥🔥
@@YOUinConsultingDoes Arctic shores require that my camera is active (do I have to wear a suit, while completing the tests?)
You take the test typically on a mobile device, so you can take it in your pijama as well 😉
I revised through these videos but the questions were completely different! I got the balancing shape and sequencing shape game! This is so frustrating
Hi there! Are you sure you took a version of the Arctic Shores assessment? If you read through the comments, most viewers face 1:1 what they see in this video.
However, it is normal that Arctic Shores tries to innovate and develop new games that may appear for some candidates. At some point, that implies I shall make a new video 🙂
Still, I hope you benefited from getting into the "playing" 🙄 mindset and have rocked your test!
Would you mind saying which company this was for ? Sorry to hear that!
Thank you for this video! I have never heard of these kinds of tests until now. Most of them seem quite nonsensical and like a waste of time and ressources to be honest.
Yes, Arctic Shores is very good at "hiding" its brand, but its Skyrise City games are used by many companies for their branded online assessments. Pymetrics is another provider of a gamified online assessment. Yes, these "games" are disguised as fun, but actually used to filter the applicants, just as all the other "more established" online assessments. I'm glad you are aware now 👍
I really can't find a strategy to do the energy game. Please help😥
Hey! I introduce a strategy on how to approach the energy game at 11:03 of the video, did you see it? 🙂
@@YOUinConsulting I manage to hit max 7000. Does that mean I aced that part. 😂.
Does the scale not just reach up to 6000? 😮
@@YOUinConsulting I started with 3500 and 7000 was max. Basically start spamming 100 and then play safe with 50
Your strategy sounds about right 😎 Sounds as if you have hit the jackpot 😉
I did this test completely blind and got an interview from it. I get the impression the tests aren't necessarily easy to pass?
May I ask you why you even bother to do research on the Arctic Shores test after you have already successfully completed it 😀 No, it is not trivial to pass these tests whereas of course it is not impossible either! Furthermore, each Arctic Shores client company may set individual threshold levels, which can vary with their fluctuating hiring targets. I say a bit more about this at minute 05:08 of the video. Good luck for your interview! 😀
@@YOUinConsulting Thanks, yes it must have been a low bar
Haha or you have just been extraordinarily smart and a good match! 😀
I hope I came to the right Channel, as I just received this: Amazon Apprenticeship Application-Invite to the next stage from Arctic Shores. Is this video enough for the preparation? Has anyone done this before?
Glad you found my channel and video 🙂 Yes, this video covers the Arctic Shores assessment that awaits you. If you browse through the comment section, occasionally a handful of new games appear in addition, but this tutorial still covers the 10 core games of the test.
And please report back on your test & question experience 🙌🏼 Good luck for your test!
do you get practice runs before the real thing starts when completing these arcticshore games
There is a brief tutorial / explanation of the games before they start.
thank you so much!
I'm glad if my video can help you pass 💪
I think i did well in the assessment but the secuirty part i was on it for like an hour i hope that dont effect me
Tough to look into the crystal ball. I keep my fingers crossed for you!
Does every question has time limit?
No. Games like the balloons game, the energy game or the security game do not have a time limit. Others do, such as the sequence, directions and ticket games as well as the patterns and analysis assignments.
Ice got broken, I love this video; wish me luck
sweet video! its not just me who find these difficult, right?
You mean the games? Thank you 👍
I mean, the artic shores games are challanging! done for 4 different companies is always hard!@@YOUinConsulting
What do you mean, for 4 different companies?? Did you have to go through the same test 4 times!?
Is this test have any additional time to practice and familiarise the question
Yes, as I mention at 08:05, you can take breaks between the games during the actual test 🙂
thank you very much
You're welcome 🙂
20:30
😏
Please I have an assessment deadline in 2 days , Where can I practice these games??
No panic bro! By watching this video you probably already know more than 95% of other candidates 😀 I'm afraid I'm not aware of free practice games, there is complete solution of the Arctic Shores assessment, which is a paid one: breaktheice.youinconsulting.com/
You can also watch my Pymetrics games video tutorial to further calm your soul 😉 given there are a lot of similarities between the two assessments.
ICE GOT BROCKEN (IVE GOT THE ASSESSMENT FOR PWC SUMMER INTERN WISH ME LUCK)
I wish you good luck! Enjoy some ice in your celebration cocktail 😀
I had the misfortune of being confronted with these games. Just seems this company has found a way to scam money from big companies with psuedo psych tests. But that said thanks for the tips, maybe i can find a way to get past this bull.
Hahaha thanks for your candid words! 👌 Where you cannot change reality, you can at least brace yourself to face it 💪 Well done, Sir - good luck for the test and enjoy the "games"... 😉

AEMO is a dog for making applicants do this
Just checked, do you have to take it for AEMO = Australian Energy Market Operator?
@@YOUinConsultinghi, i have an up coming exam for AEMO, should i expect similar games in assessment? And any thing extra i need to be prepared for test? I want to reach any level to practice and clear this test
Hi, does AEMO stand for the Australian Energy Market Operator? If it still deals you the Arctic Shores test, then the games in the video are those to expect. You can watch some parts of the video again during the breaks between your games to refresh your mind. I think there is no need to acquire further knowledge. If you want to practice the test in a simulation before taking it, there is the paid simulation available.
I do the test for airbus and it was exactly the same test.
Thanks for reconfirming this, super helpful! I wish you good luck with your further recruitment process
Bei dem englisch ist es so unglaublich schwierig zuzuhören... sorry...
Was ist das Problem? Wenn Du mit meinem deutschen Akzent nicht zurechtkommst, mach Dir die englischen Untertitel an, dann kannst Du mitlesen 👍🏼
@@YOUinConsulting gibt kein Problem. Habe nur gesagt, dass es unglaublich schwierig ist zuzuhören. Oder steht da was anderes? 😂

Hello,
Could I pay you to do my assessment? I’m so tired of being rejected, I feel because I’m neurodiverse I’ll never get a chance to get into certain companies, this is so unfair. I’ll applying for graduate roles but I’m starting to feel discouraged
Hi there! Thank you for putting your heart out there. First, I am sorry about your frustration. As per my understanding, neurodiversity describes a situation where a brain works different from the "norm". Does it count as a disability? I mean for all tests, all companies and test providers claim that if you come with a certain condition, you should contact them in advance to taking the test so that they can make adjustments, such as giving you extra time. I am not sure whether this is to your disadvantage, given companies also have diversity hiring targets, and in some countries, are encouraged to hire employees with a disability.
Second, I am receiving a surpringly high number of requests from applicants who ask me to take their test on their behalf. I am afraid this is illegal and I must reject such requests. Depending on your specific situation, I suggest you find out what is the best way for you to prepare for and take such assignments.
Thank you so much for this video
Helped me at the last minute🤌🏼
Haha that's great! 😃
for wich company you done the online test?
