The phrase denotes the act of seeking and acquiring practice materials, specifically those resembling assessments used by SHL (Saville Assessment), in a digital, portable document format without incurring cost. These materials are sought to aid in preparation for aptitude or psychometric evaluations often administered during recruitment processes.
Accessing preparation resources can familiarize candidates with the format, question types, and time constraints of standardized tests. This familiarity can potentially reduce test anxiety and improve performance. Historically, printed preparation books were the primary resource. The rise of digital distribution has led to the proliferation of online resources, including freely accessible downloadable documents.
