Grad DNA - test, match, apply for Android
This is a great app! I wasn't sure at first but the tests worked well and accurately lined up to how I feel my strengths lie. I found the personality test very useful as it indicates areas that are my strengths, very useful in applying for jobs!
Taking these quick assesments will help you guage the environment of psychometric testing if not indicate where you should apply. I am convinced their reccomendations give you an edge with applications- I was pleasantly surprised to advance to the next stages of my first 2. Also it could be a gateway to those employers that do not invest in ordinary psychometric testing. As Uni students we need to identify our strengths and welcome all the direction we can get.Grad dna will follow up on you, and It's free!
Would highly recommend this app. Information is clear and useful: has made the graduation process a lot less daunting!
It doesn't work. Blocked from the first time I opened it.
It doesnt even work
Great idea! So easy to use and it makes the whole process much simpler - would definitely recommend.
a little slow but simple and works well
Works well.
Easy to use and opens up great opportunities for students looking for placements and internships
Great app for graduates and they just keep improving!
Such a great idea, I wish it lived up to the expectations. The tests keep crashing, or won't calculate the results. And when you do get the results but try to check them later or shows that the test was interrupted. Furthermore all the jobs I've got matched with are OUTDATED!!!!!
How is this app different from applying online? Or doing a test online ? Feels like it's been built by an employer not someone like a student. Also I don't feel comfortable you sharing all my personal data the way you do... plus you shouldn't expect me to read all the terms and conditions! I wouldn't download.
Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Just down loaded this push the sign up button and it says it has sent an email for conformation press send again still nothing an hour out my life I can't get back.
The app is extremely useful to find graduate jobs. It is also extremely useful to try the psychometric tests - employers use them more and more therefore it is great to get accustomed to them and feedback. GRAD DNA also has great support if you evee need to talk to them.
After downloading and signing up I did not receive an activation code. Poor app need sorting massively!!
App would continuously crash/fail even when not in use
Good for nothing pointless and use less
Had to make up a University, Once I managed to get past that stage by lying out my arse, knocking a button on a touch screen "locks the tests" after signing up again, and redoing the whole thing. The jobs it showed me was for rent a car, or working for the app people.. I know people change jobs, but nope I hate customers I'll just carry on being a chef than you very much.. oh and one star.. it's a -1 (and a reply to your comment.. No I didn't go to UNI.. but I did go to Culinary school)
I pulled the top menu on my screen down to dim the screen slightly, and it reset my test. Does my opening my updates tab really count as interruption if I can still see the app behind it??? Definitely need to change that. I can't be bothered to sit through that many questions again.
Was really excited to give this a go. But its just so buggy. Went to register. Claimed i already had (i have not). Started with personality questionnaire. 120 questions later i sit staring at a "calculating results" screen for 10 minutes before giving up and clicking "more tests". Click on personality test again - has no memory of me completing the text. Cross out of it to try others. Gives me a lecture on "interupting the test". Try the inductive reasoning. 7.5 minutes later. Again wont calculate.
Iv not been to uni so useless and by the way you can get a degree and other good qualifications without going uni, it'd called college, iv got nvqs, a degree and level 2 qualifications but didn't go uni, I went college so it's a bit unfair to not allow anyone who not been uni
Took the tests just to see how I'd do. Asses your ability about as accurately as assessing how well you can read by how big your eyeballs are...
I can't get passed the school grades I've not gone to uni so can't go passed that bit.
Really like the idea of the app. It's very useful for graduates unsure of how to start their careers.
Tried on HTC M8 and iPhone 6 . Awful on both.
Doesn't let me sign up. Therefore useless.
Couldn't scroll up so couldn't register
Took about an hour to sign up, now can't take any of the tests, just get a loading circle
Doesn't work
On xperia z3
Love the idea of this app, surprised how good I was at maths
Can't sign up
After finally being able to log in, I then had to make up a university I went to as 'other' wasn't working. Once I logged in, the tests are poor at best. Absolutely no way to test your capabilities for employers, (as an employer myself) if potential employees come to me with this scoring I would instantly dismiss it. Therfore making this whole experience a complete waste of everyone's time and effort.
Good idea for an application but continues to crash and force close when completing full test
What I've been looking for
by X####:
This app has been great so far. I was slightly apprehensive about the prospect of psychometric tests, however the app matches possible Grad schemes to scores and has opened up new possibilities for me. I found staff to be incredibly helpful and I am hopeful that I can secure a place in my chosen field soon. Great for those like me that may not have a set career path and are open to ideas that are in line with skills acquired.
