The battery candidates report
SHL-style batteries pair Verify aptitude modules — numerical tables, verbal passages, inductive sequences — with the OPQ32 personality questionnaire. The aptitude items are computed, and the clock is the real difficulty.
Selection stacks in aerospace / engineering, normally run the online battery as the first cut — before any interview — which is why it eliminates more candidates than every later stage combined. The preparation that pays is format preparation: the items change, the demands do not.

What the screening reads for
Across candidate reports and the sector's published role profiles, the behavioural side of Rolls-Royce screening effectively reads for: engineering rigour · safety mindset · resilience. The aptitude side is simpler to summarise — accuracy at pace — and it is also the side that responds fastest to practice.
How to prepare
Run the timed formats until the interface and the pacing are boring, then use the per-exercise rank to find the module that would drag your profile down and concentrate there. For the personality questionnaire, take a full practice pass first: seeing your own profile before the employer does is the one legitimate edge available, and answering consistently beats answering “perfectly”.
