5. Professional skills: accuracy and precision. The test involves spotting mistakes, types, grammatically errors, misspellings or other discrepancies in charts and tables, without dealing with the concrete content. The only competences tested here are the attention to details and the ability to work under enormous time pressure!
6. Professional skills: prioritising and organising. The test consists of various data and you are asked to make decisions based on the data. Some time you have to make small calculations and find in this way the right answer.
