Assessment-Training vs Candidate Falcon: Publisher-Specific Psychometrics or Modern Screening Prep?

If your recruiter mentioned SHL, Watson Glaser, Saville, or Kenexa, Assessment-Training is probably the more relevant tool. If your assessment is a HireVue game battery or a one-way video interview on HireVue, Spark Hire, VidCruiter, and Talview, Candidate Falcon is. These two platforms cover different parts of the hiring pipeline with very little overlap.

Quick verdict

Assessment-Training is better for: traditional psychometric tests across many publishers, with score tracking, norm-group benchmarking, and a one-time purchase model. Its All Aptitude Tests package includes 197 tests and 3,146 questions at approximately £29.95 for 30 days of access.

Candidate Falcon is better for: HireVue game-based assessments and vendor-specific one-way video interview prep, with subscription-based unlimited practice starting at $12.9/month.

What Assessment-Training offers

Assessment-Training is a publisher-focused psychometric-prep platform. Its test library covers SHL, Watson Glaser, SOVA, Saville, Kenexa, Cubiks, and others. The All Aptitude Tests package offers 197 tests and 3,146 questions. A separate Simulation Preparation Package provides 31 tests and 420 questions. A Personal Progression System lets candidates track scores, set goals, and compare performance against a norm group.

The platform also offers a bundle that includes video-training lessons. This package uses recorded lessons, example questions, and a workbook rather than interactive one-way interview practice. Access is typically sold as a one-off purchase with 30 days of access.

What Candidate Falcon offers

Candidate Falcon does not cover traditional publisher-style psychometric tests. It is built around two modern screening formats: all 11 HireVue game types, and one-way video interview practice for HireVue, Spark Hire, VidCruiter, and Talview.

Video practice works differently from a lesson-and-workbook model. You record answers inside provider-specific flows, then review them with transcripts, scoring, and rubric feedback tied to the selected platform. Video practice supports general, scripted, job-position, and custom interview modes. AI feedback is centered on recorded answers and transcript/content-first review rather than broad delivery analytics.

HireVue Games Prep starts at $12.9/month. 1 Video Platform Prep starts at $19.9/month, All Video Platforms Prep starts at $29.9/month, and Full Access starts at $36.9/month. Games and video practice both use subscription access with unlimited sessions during the active billing period.

Where Assessment-Training wins

Assessment-Training is the better choice when you are facing traditional psychometric tests. 197 tests across many publishers is a large library, and the Personal Progression System adds structured tracking that makes it easy to measure improvement. The one-off pricing is attractive if you prefer a fixed payment over a continuing subscription.

If your recruiter mentions SHL tests, Watson Glaser critical thinking, or assessment-center exercises, Assessment-Training is the more directly relevant prep tool.

Where Candidate Falcon wins

Candidate Falcon is the better choice when the assessment is a modern digital screen. Its value is format specificity: all 11 HireVue game types rather than a partial set, and one-way video interview practice built around the actual vendor platform your employer uses.

If you have a HireVue game invite or a scheduled one-way video interview on a specific platform, Candidate Falcon delivers more relevant practice than a psychometric library designed around traditional aptitude tests.

Bottom line

These platforms win clearly in their own domains. Assessment-Training is the right tool for publisher-specific psychometric preparation with strong tracking and benchmarking. Candidate Falcon is the right tool for HireVue games and vendor-specific one-way video interviews. If your hiring pipeline includes both a traditional aptitude test and a modern screen, you may benefit from using each where it is strongest.
