Practise for the AMN Talentscan.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AMN Talentscan?

AMN, based in Arnhem, makes the Talentscan for Dutch vocational schools (mbo), universities of applied sciences and employers. You take it on a computer or tablet, at home or at school, and according to AMN it takes 1.5 to 2 hours on average. The aptitude part has seven parts; you also answer questions about your personality and motivation. The level matches your education.

Can you prepare for the AMN test?

AMN says you do not need to prepare: at an mbo intake the Talentscan is not an exam and nobody is turned down because of it. Some employers, especially for work-and-study places in healthcare, do use the result. What helps: knowing the seven question forms, knowing that Numbers and Differences give little time per question, and knowing you may skip a question.

Are these the real AMN questions?

No. All questions are Assessly's own, written in the question forms of the public AMN examples. The clock, the number of questions and the score are our own practice measure, not an AMN norm or a prediction.

Which other AMN tests can you practise here?

Besides the Talentscan, schools and employers use AMN's language and maths tests and the Technical Insight test. Here you practise spelling and grammar (in English on this page), reading, the mbo maths test (you type the answer, as at AMN), the English test and Technical Insight (gears, circuits, levers and knowledge).

What does this practice not cover?

Listening (audio fragments) and the speaking and writing tasks. The personality questions have no right or wrong answers; the sample statements show what that part looks like.

Who uses the AMN Talentscan?

Among others ROC van Twente, Astrum College, Hoornbeeck College, Arcus College, ROC Midden Nederland and Aeres Warmonderhof at intake, and healthcare employers such as Pleyade and AxionContinu when selecting work-and-study candidates.
