Here's a Work-Rate type question:
A toy factory has three machines that wrap all the toys in boxes. All three machines work at the same rate and finish wrapping a certain amount of toys in 48 hours. If a fourth machine with the same rate was to be added, what would be the new total time of work?
Reading Comprehension Questions
This test evaluates your English language skills, reading skills and speed reading skills. The test includes reading passages, each followed by multiple-choice questions. It is designed to assess your ability to comprehend written information, you'll be asked to mark a single correct answer out of the available answer choices.
Here's a sample question for reading comprehension:
In January the first crowds gathered to demand reform, barricades went up and within hours the news was transmitted to millions. Encouraged by what they saw and heard crowds turned out in cities thousands of miles apart to demand votes, jobs, constitutions and their human rights. Governments were caught paralyzed and watched helplessly as troops refused to fire on crowds. Ministers fell and kings fled. The year was 1848, and if you think 2011 has been turbulent, it has a long way to go before it matches the seismic events of 1848, the Year of Revolutions.
In comparison with 1848, events in 2011 were:
And here's another one:
Not only are people living longer, but so many women across the world are now in their childbearing years—1.8 billion—that the global population will keep growing for another few decades at least, even though each woman is having fewer children than she would have had a generation ago. By 2050 the total number could reach 10.5 billion, or it could stop at eight billion—the difference is about one child per woman. UN demographers consider the middle road their best estimate: They now project that the population may reach nine billion in 2045.
Computational Tools Question
This special section tests your computational and Boolean logic skills, required to use different programs to perform calculations and other tasks.
This part is especially important because it shows your ability to work with electronic medical records- one of the basic skills you will need as an Epic Systems employee.
This section includes spreadsheet-based questions, as well as questions based on a fake programming language.
Let's try a programming language practice question:
The flowchart for a computer program contains the following segment.
What is the value of VAR at the conclusion of this routine?
Logical Reasoning
This section is common to most aptitude tests, and measures your pattern recognition skills. It includes questions based on syllogisms- cases in which you must deduce what is true based on given facts.
Here is a syllogisms sample question:
Employees who close over 6 deals or who are titled 'employee of the month' receive a 10% bonus.
Employee A closed five deals.
Employee B received a 10% bonus after closing seven deals.
Employee C was 'employee of the month' last October.
Which statement must be true?
Another type of Logical reasoning question you will encounter in this section is Seating Arrangements. This type of question gives you several facts about how seating or work shifts are organized between several people and tasks you with asking a question based on these facts.
Here's a Seating Arrangements sample question:
Each logic problem in the preparation pack comes with a full solution and is a faithful recreation of Epic Systems questions.
Behavioral Interview Questions
The recruitment process at Epic Systems can take up to a month and typically includes the Epic test as well as two interviews: a phone interview and a final interview.
The phone interview is relatively short, lasting about thirty minutes. After your phone interview, you will receive an invitation to take the Epic Assessment Test. If you pass the Epic Test, you will need to pass one final interview before receiving your job offer.
The interviews are mostly skill-based and require you to talk about yourself and about your past experience. When talking to your interviewer about past success, be sure to use the STAR Interview Method. There will also be technical questions requiring you to show a fundamental understanding of data management.
Here are some Epic Systems behavioral questions you may encounter during your interview.
