Aptitude Test 14 November 2008 at 10:09 am by Premium Blogger

Aptitude is a natural ability or skill.

Aptitude Test – A test to measure a student’s ability to learn in some particular area, like music or mechanics.

Aptitude tests are structured systematic ways of evaluating how people perform on tasks or react to different situations. They have standardized methods of administration and scoring with the results quantified and compared with how others have done at the same tests.

It is the examination that attempts to determine and measure a person’s ability to acquire, through future training, some specific set of skills (intellectual, motor, and so on). The tests assume that people differ in their special abilities and that these differences can be useful in predicting future achievements.
