Once more, here is the ultimate source of information about the competition structure, the Notice of Competition.
To best prepare for the computer-based tests Online EU Training offers AD ANV test packages (abstract-numerical-verbal reasoning) with verbal reasoning questions in 12 languages (Bulgarian, German, English, Spanish, French, Greek, Croatian, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Romanian), along with numerical and abstract reasoning questions in English and French. You can try to complete a free demo test, or read thorough the free Administrator's Exam Workbook giving useful tips on how to effectively solve reasoning questions of different types.
For those already looking at the Assessment Centre, we also prepared something: this article is a good read, summarizing all the must knows about the AC. Don’t forget though, that in your case the 4 “classic” AC exam tasks - Case Study, Oral Presentation, Group Exercise, Structured Interview - will be complemented with the reasoning tests which are normally done in the pre-selection phase
Good luck with the exams to everybody!
