Preparing for Harver (NOA)
Are you planning to take the Harver assessment, also known as NOA’s Cognitive Ability Assessment, soon? If so, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself in advance with the types of questions that frequently appear. This bundle focuses on analogies, exclusion, and number sequences, so you can practice specifically with the types of questions you’re likely to encounter during the test.
Harver is a widely used online platform that employers use to assess and compare candidates. The NOA Cognitive Ability Assessment is used to measure cognitive skills, such as logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and the ability to work accurately under time pressure. The exact composition of the assessment may vary by organization, but the modules in this bundle align with the most common components.
What you practice in this bundle
- Analogies: recognizing connections between words or concepts.
- Exclusion: determining which figure or concept does not fit the pattern.
- Number sequences: identifying the underlying pattern in a series of numbers and extending it logically.
The Analogies module helps you quickly recognize simple connections, for example based on meaning, function, or category. In Exclusion, you practice systematically analyzing characteristics such as shape, size, position, filling, lines, or angles, so you can identify which item is different. In Number Sequences, you work on recognizing patterns such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or combinations thereof.
This preparation is especially useful if you want to complete the tasks quickly and accurately. By practicing the question types in advance, you learn what to look for, how to organize information, and how to stay calm under time pressure. This makes it easier to start working on the tasks immediately during the actual assessment without first having to figure out the format.
After receiving your invitation, you’ll usually get more information via email and on the Harver online platform. In practice, it’s therefore a good idea to keep a close eye on your inbox and start practicing in advance so you’re familiar with the content and pace of the assessment.
