I've taken two of the tests by different authors. I had to take them immediately after doing the on line job application process. This was a surprise as there was nothing letting me know I'd have to set aside time to do the test right then. One told me I failed it and could not apply for 6 months again. I later talked to someone "in the know" and this person told me they rig those things if they already have the person they want for the job. Fine, but that means a certain amount of people are shut out for 6 months.
