Use: Organisations use the B-APT primarily to identify high aptitude candidates for programmer training. The examinee need have no prior experience in programming, and those with some experience gain no advantage over the inexperienced. The tutorial, which uses a hypothetical language, equates the potential of the inexperienced with the experienced.
Description: The B-APT is designed so that talented candidates with no programming background can understand the test's programming language and use it to solve the problems. It is a work sample test in which the candidate writes coded instructions to a
computer in a logical sequence to carry out program specifications. The candidates must apply the rules of coding, looping, incrementing and branching as they write short programs in the test booklet. They must also be able to demonstrate
adaptive flexibility by applying the language rules to progressively more complex problem requirements.
