Bond University Medicine Psychometric Test Frequently Asked Questions
(Reference: Majority of the questions below were retrieved from Bond University website, 2024)
Selected applicants (based on their academic achievement) will be invited to participate in psychometric testing as part of the selection process for the Bond Medical Program. The results of the psychometric tests will determine the applicant’s eligibility for an interview.
1. Does my ATAR (used to assess whether I receive an invite for psychometric testing), include any bonus points?
Bonus points are not considered for the Bond Medical Program due to the competitive nature of the program.
2. What happens if I am invited to complete psychometric testing?
If you are successful in gaining an invitation for psychometric testing, you will receive an email from the testing provider requesting that you to book a time to complete your testing under supervision. After booking your appointment for testing, we encourage applicants to complete the recommended technical checks, prior to the day of testing. This will help to reduce technical difficulties on your testing day.
3. What does the psychometric testing look like and what can I expect?
You will complete your assessments under examination conditions. This means you will be supervised via your webcam while you complete the psychometric testing.
Before your appointment time, you should prepare your space for examination conditions (i.e. make sure there are no papers or notes on your desk, that your other electronic devices are out of reach, and other people in your house know not to disturb you while you complete the testing).
4. How many questions will I have to answer?
The testing will require candidates to complete two (2) assessments.
5. How long will the test take?
Most applicants will complete the two (2) tests in around 90 minutes, but you will have a maximum time of two (2) hours to complete the assessments. The 2-hour timer will start when you are given access to the first assessment. The time you spend prior to accessing your first test (i.e. joining with your proctor, verifying identity, checking your environment etc.) is not included in the 2-hour time limit.
6. Can I get a copy of the results for myself?
Interpreting the results of the selected tests requires specific expertise and training. Bond University does not provide individual reports.
7. Are my test results made available to Bond during the selection process?
No. Bond will only receive a list of applicants to be interviewed from the testing body.
8. Is the testing fully online?
Yes, both assessments are available online. Please note that the tests are not compatible with mobile or tablet devices.
Please note: Psychometric testing is online and the MMI interviews are in-person, on campus.
