The Valtera Battery Test

This test (also known as the Phillips 66 Battery Test) is used to ensure that the applicants who are hired have the traits and skills necessary to effectively perform their jobs. Essential aptitudes and characteristics that are measured in the Phillips 66 pre-employment test include:

• Following safety procedures and policies
• Understanding and applying communicated information
• Making appropriate decisions
• Identifying problems
• Reading and understanding tables, charts, forms, dials, meters, gauges, and written material
• Applying basic mechanical principles to solve problems
• Thinking logically
• Continually learning new information
• Verifying the accuracy of information
• Reliability, good interpersonal relations, conscientiousness, and teamwork

Formatted in multiple-choice, the Valtera exam is timed and requires the selection of the best answer for each question. 

Operations & Maintenance job applicants take this test, which includes three parts:

Mechanical Aptitude Assessment

The skills highlighted in the Mechanical Aptitude Assessment involve the comprehension and application of fundamental mechanical principles in solving situational difficulties. Gears, evaporation and volume are three of the topics you will encounter on the Phillips 66 Operator Test.

For this part, the PrepPack offers you accurate practice with BMCT (Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test) practice test that prepares you for all relevant aspects of mechanical aptitude on the test.

Mechanical knowledge assessment

This part is more knowledge-based than the mechanical aptitude section and requires practical mechanical knowledge about pumps, motors, compressors, etc.

The PrepPack includes Ramsay MultiCrafTest practice tests specifically for this part of the test, in order to train you to think exactly like you should on this section of the Valtera Test Battery.

Workplace Attitude and Behavior Inventory

This part is more personality-based than the previous two. Some questions contain a five-point agreement scale; others present statements and ask you to agree/disagree. You may also be given a prompt, and asked to suggest an alternative that most closely reflects your attitudes and preferences.

Questions in the section are deceptively simple and open-ended it would seem that there is no wrong answer, right?

Not exactly. Phillips, like all prestigious companies, looks for certain characteristics for certain jobs. 

However, there's no need to worry; the PrepPack for Phillips 66 includes a full section on personality profiling practice to help you bring out your best.

Knowing the types of questions and becoming familiar with the overall format of the exam that you will face on the actual Valtera Test Battery yields increased exam comfort, accuracy and speed. JobTestPrep provides all of the study tools that contribute to a successful Phillips 66 exam experience.
