Preparing for a reasoning test

You cannot cram reasoning, but you can remove everything that drags a score below your actual level.

Learn the formats

Most of the gain from practice is format familiarity. Working through one example of each item family removes the cost of reading instructions under time pressure.

Practise the clock

Sit a timed run before the real attempt. The dominant error in untrained test takers is spending four minutes on one hard item and leaving five unanswered.

Control the conditions

Sleep, quiet, a decent screen, no phone. These matter more than any drilling and are entirely within your control.

Sit the paper — 20 items, 15 minutes

Scored against age, education and area norms. Free certificate with a QR code anyone can verify.

Start the test

Questions people ask

Do brain-training apps raise IQ?

They raise performance on the trained task. Transfer to general reasoning is weak in the evidence.

How long before a retake?

Long enough that you cannot recall items. Ours locks for 24 hours for that reason.
