Abstract Reasoning Test vs Spatial Skills Training

Main features: • 180 questions with 720 variations • Hints and solutions • 3 difficulty levels • Timer helps simulate realistic test • No internet access required Abstract Reasoning Test - mobile application is designed to help you prepare for these tests. You can switch off the timer easing the pressure to determine the right answer. To answer the question you just need to tap the answer and then tap on the submit button. You can also choose study mode which provides special features to help you better practise find the right answers. This version includes a package of 180 questions categorised in three difficulty levels. Answer images are shuffled every time you start a test therefore providing for 720 possible questions. This is one of the advantages of using this application as compared to paper tests where you are most likely to remember the solution from the last time you saw the question. This application does not require internet access. Once installed on your device, you can practise anywhere you like. Study mode: In study mode each question is accompanied by a hint and an option to show the correct answer. Hints explain how the diagram changes within the sequence. You can also retry a question if you do not answer it correctly. Once you find all correct answers you have the option to redo the test with the same questions at which point answers are reshuffled.

Space capacity, like the rest of cognitive components, can be developed and improved by specific training. This app works together with the book 'Exercises for the training of space skills', which will allow you to improve in this field. In addition, the training we offer has a double objective: to improve the levels of spatial capacity and to provide knowledge in graphic representation systems, necessary in professionals related to engineering and architecture. The training consists of solving exercises based on the sketched drawing of three-dimensional volumes. Several types of exercises are proposed to work on different cognitive aspects that have been distributed in five levels of learning, based on Bloom's taxonomy of learning (recognition, understanding, analysis, synthesis and evaluation). This training is especially suitable for high school students who study the branch of Science and Technology and for students who access architecture and engineering degrees. It is advisable to carry out the training intensively, at the rate of a two-hour daily session (which would be approximately equivalent to the completion of one level per day) for five consecutive days, and, as far as possible, during the first weeks of the academic year. With the proposed methodology, the student can train autonomously, without the need of a teacher's assistance. To visualize the three-dimensional figures, augmented reality technology is used, which allows virtual information to be added to existing physical information. For your use you will need a conventional computer with a webcam or a mobile device (Smartphone or Tablet). When executing the application associated with this book, the camera image will be accessed, so that, if you direct the lens to the pages of the book, you can view the virtual figures superimposed on the physical book through the screen of the device used .
