AssessmentDay vs Candidate Falcon: Aptitude Library or Modern-Format Prep?

These two platforms sit at opposite ends of the assessment-prep spectrum. AssessmentDay is a large aptitude-test library built around traditional psychometric practice, score tracking, and benchmarking. Candidate Falcon is a focused prep tool built around HireVue game-based assessments and vendor-specific one-way video interviews. They rarely compete for the same candidate at the same moment.

Choose based on your next assessment

Choose AssessmentDay if your upcoming test is a traditional aptitude assessment: numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, inductive reasoning, diagrammatic tests, or situational judgment. AssessmentDay's strength is exactly this kind of broad, publisher-style practice with detailed worked solutions and performance benchmarks.

Choose Candidate Falcon if your upcoming assessment is a HireVue game battery or a one-way video interview on HireVue, Spark Hire, VidCruiter, and Talview. Candidate Falcon is built to mirror those specific formats.

What AssessmentDay offers

AssessmentDay has been providing aptitude-test practice for years. Its library includes tests across numerical, verbal, inductive, diagrammatic, situational-judgment, and other categories. The platform's value is built around a study loop: take a test, review worked solutions, check your score against a benchmark, and repeat.

Its homepage listed 140+ practice tests and 2,000+ hours of practice. Its bundle page listed 170+ tests and 12 exercises. These counts refer to different catalog views, so this comparison does not combine them into one total.

AssessmentDay also offers a free Memory Cards game and a free browser-based video interview recording tool. The Memory Cards game is a small taste of gamified assessment practice. The video tool lets users record and replay answers but does not add structured review or provider-specific feedback.

What Candidate Falcon offers

Candidate Falcon does not try to be a broad aptitude library. Its scope is deliberately narrow: all 11 HireVue game types on the games side, and one-way video interview prep for HireVue, Spark Hire, VidCruiter, and Talview on the video side.

The video product 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. Recorded answers include transcripts, scoring, strengths, improvements, a rewritten answer, follow-up questions, and rubric feedback matched to the selected provider.

Pricing starts at $12.9/month for HireVue Games and $19.9/month for one video platform. Games and video practice both use subscription access with unlimited sessions during the active billing period.

Where AssessmentDay wins

AssessmentDay is the better platform for candidates preparing for traditional psychometric tests. Its breadth, worked solutions, and benchmarking create a solid study workflow for graduate-scheme testing and employer assessment centers where the format is classic aptitude-based.

It is also a good starting point if you are not sure what kind of test you will face, because the library spans many publisher styles.

Where Candidate Falcon wins

Candidate Falcon is the better platform when the assessment is a modern digital screen. If you have a HireVue game invite, 11-game coverage is directly relevant in a way that a Memory Cards game is not. If you have a one-way video interview, provider-specific practice with structured AI review is more useful than a basic self-recording tool.

Can you use both?

Yes. These tools can complement each other. AssessmentDay for general aptitude preparation and score benchmarking, and Candidate Falcon once the specific HireVue or one-way interview format is confirmed. Many recruiting pipelines include both a traditional aptitude test and a modern screening format.

Bottom line

AssessmentDay wins on traditional aptitude breadth and benchmarking. Candidate Falcon wins on HireVue games and vendor-specific one-way video interviews. The right choice depends on which format is next in your hiring pipeline.
