Designing an Aptitude Test for IT Candidates: What Skills Should We Focus On?

Can anyone suggest how to create an aptitude test for candidates applying to an IT firm? How much weightage should be given to mathematics, reasoning, and English? Please suggest if any additional fields need to be included.

If possible, kindly provide a format for the aptitude test at hr_namrata@yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance.
