Process
A week after I applied for the position through the IBM career site, I received a link to take the IPAT cognitive test.
I prepared for the test by going through reviews and FAQs on IBM cognitive tests. Searching for them on the internet is very helpful.
The test consisted of two sections: Number series and aptitude. Each section had around 18-20 questions, and every question had about 1 minute and 15 seconds of time. So, you have to be very quick to respond.
I haven't received any email about the test results yet. I am waiting for the next step in the hiring process.
