How CogniPrep Helps

Siemens specifically chose Arctic Shores to broaden their talent pool beyond traditional backgrounds. That means the assessment is designed to surface potential, not polish. Practicing beforehand helps you understand the game mechanics so you can focus on performing at your natural best, rather than losing time getting to grips with unfamiliar formats on the day.

Top Tips

Siemens values potential over pedigree

Siemens chose Arctic Shores precisely to hire beyond traditional CV screening. The assessment is designed to surface genuine potential, so respond naturally rather than trying to present an idealized version of yourself.

Build speed on cognitive tasks

Many of the games are time-sensitive. Practicing regularly helps you build processing speed and accuracy so you're not caught off guard under exam conditions.

Find a quiet environment

Many tasks require sustained concentration. Interruptions during memory and attention games directly affect your scores.
