What is the Multicheck actually?

The Multicheck aptitude test has been around since 1996, and almost all large companies now require it when applying for an apprenticeship - because the test not only allows important conclusions to be drawn about academic performance, but also records cognitive abilities. Among other things, it is about:

  • Logic
  • Retention
  • Short-term memory
  • Ability to concentrate
  • Spatial imagination

In addition to the school grades, the results of the Multicheck are therefore very meaningful. The Multicheck is conducted on the computer and takes two to four hours. In the process, several categories are tested, which in the end provide an insightful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of an applicant. The better the result, the higher the chances in the application process.

Why is preparation so important?

Intensive Multicheck preparation is important for better results in the test and thus increases the chances of finding a good apprenticeship. For our Multicheck preparation courses, we have developed a comprehensive program that enables us to prepare students in Switzerland ideally for this vocational aptitude test. Our Multicheck Preparatory Course in Zurich is therefore aimed at all students who do not want to leave their aptitude test to change, but want to prepare for it in the best possible way.

Are you trying to decide on a career and looking for an apprenticeship?

Nearly all small and large firms require an aptitude test along with candidates’ application documents. The best known tests are the Basic Check and the Multicheck. There are other job-specific tests as well.

What is the Basic Check?

The Basic Check offers an objective basis for the assessment of skills and talents so that graduates can make an informed career choice. The evaluation is computer-based.

Practice Problems

The objective of the course

In our opinion, the two test methods differ significantly.

The Multicheck tests the student's ability to concentrate, networked thinking and intellectual (cognitive) skills in order to find out the student's potential. The questions have to be solved under time pressure. This causes difficulties for many candidates.

The Basic Check tests basic school skills in mathematics, German, French and English. Attentive and diligent students are at an advantage in this test.

  1. Mathematics: percentage calculation, proportions, units, volume, circle
  2. French: conjugations in présent and passé composé
  3. English: basic vocabulary and phrases
  4. German: tenses and idioms
  5. New: physics and chemistry
