Read full description

Practice for aptitude and psychometric tests with questions you can trust. Aptly covers numerical, verbal, logical, abstract, spatial, mechanical and diagrammatic reasoning, data interpretation and situational judgment, and every question comes with a step-by-step explanation and a time-saving shortcut. Timed mock tests, weak-area analytics and a daily habit that work offline, with no account. EVERY ANSWER EXPLAINED Each question has a worked solution in numbered steps that shows the method, not just the answer, plus a shortcut for doing it faster under time pressure and a formula card where one helps. Pick a wrong option and you see why, plus the common trap and a note on every option. Every question in the bank has been solved independently and checked against its answer key. If anything still looks wrong to you, report it straight from the question. Add your own note to any question and it shows under the explanation from then on, and in Saved. TIMED MOCK TESTS THAT FEEL LIKE THE REAL THING Choose an exam-style preset (Graduate Β· CCAT-style, SHL-style, ASVAB / ADF-style military, Bank / Placement or Civil Service-style) or build your own with the sections, question count, time limit and negative marking you want. After every mock you get your score, an estimated percentile, a section-by-section breakdown and a full review with explanations. Then retry only the questions you missed. PRACTICE THAT FINDS YOUR WEAK SPOTS Untimed practice with instant feedback, by category and sub-topic. Questions new to you come first, then the ones you got wrong, and each run ends with your accuracy and pace, a sub-topic breakdown when it mixes topics, and a one-tap retry of the ones you missed. Spaced review brings every question you miss back after 1, 3 and 7 days, and Review now on Home runs the ones that are due. Over time, accuracy by category (tap one to see every sub-topic), your pace per question, your mock score trend, a weak-area heatmap and mastery badges show where to focus, and "See weak areas" on the Home screen opens your progress, where a card names your weakest sub-topic and starts a run on it. Mistakes are collected automatically, "Retry my mistakes" turns them into a practice run, and you can bookmark any question to come back to. The Practice tab's Your review strip keeps what is due, your mistakes, saved questions and notes together. A DAILY HABIT BEFORE TEST DAY A fresh Daily Challenge of 10 mixed questions and a streak, today's goal on Home, an optional reminder, a countdown to your test date and a readiness score that climbs as you improve. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE No account, no sign-up and no internet needed to practice. Your progress stays on your device. Ads never interrupt a question or a timed test; a hint video plays only if you choose to watch one. EVERYTHING INCLUDED, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE All 322 questions, every mock test, every explanation and all the analytics are open to everyone. Ads support the app. Aptly Pro is a one-time purchase that removes ads and the daily hint limit. It does not add or unlock questions, because nothing is locked. GOOD TO KNOW - 322 original questions in 64 sub-topics, plus 46 formula and tips cards - Abstract, spatial and chart questions are set out in words and tables, not drawn as pictures - Hints reveal the shortcut before you answer - An on-screen calculator for numerical questions, optional negative marking, light and dark themes - Useful practice for cognitive ability tests such as the CCAT and Wonderlic - Interface in 16 languages; questions and explanations in English Aptly is not affiliated with or endorsed by SHL, Criteria Corp (CCAT), Wonderlic, the US Department of Defense (ASVAB), the Australian Defence Force or any other test provider. Its questions are original, written in the formats these tests use.

Twelve reasoning and math types generated from rules, so you never run out. Everyone solves the same Daily Challenge, and Survival takes you one floor at a time. ``` ### iOS β€” Description (4000) Β· Play β€” Full description ``` Matrix Aptitude drills the reasoning and numerical question types that keep showing up in aptitude tests, a little every day. Questions are built from rules, so they never run out no matter how many you solve. It runs offline with no server. β–  Twelve rule-generated types Matrix, Sequences, Odd One Out, Applied Math, Data, Verbal Logic, Spatial, Analytic, Ciphers, Flow, Analogies, and Schematic. The names of the tests differ, but these types keep coming back. Generated fresh from rules, so they are unlimited. Get them right and they get harder; miss and they ease off. β–  Daily Challenge The same ten questions worldwide, once a day. The date picks the questions, so today's set is identical on every device. Share your result as a grid. β–  Survival Three lives, one floor at a time. Every floor is harder, and it ends when your lives run out. How far you climbed stays on your record. β–  Fifteen questions a day A daily set of fifteen β€” warm-up, weak-spot focus, then a challenge. Streaks build, your think level rises, and milestones stay for good. β–  Timed mock A 50-question mock with a clock and a penalty for wrong answers, so you can practice leaving the ones you are unsure of. Afterwards you get score by part, points lost to guessing, how you spent your time, and one thing to change next time. β–  Diagnose β†’ Prescribe β†’ Grow A short placement sets your baseline. Then the app shows which types are weak, how you miss them, and exactly which sub-pattern trips you up. Drill just that sub-pattern or learn the method with a strategy lesson, and measure your gains against your baseline. β–  A buddy that grows with you Name your own training buddy. It feeds on your daily training and evolves through 10 stages, and milestones like a 7-day streak become relics that never disappear. β–  What it covers What practice improves is familiarity with question types and how you handle a clock. Reading comprehension and paragraph ordering need passages, so they cannot be generated from rules and are not covered. β–  How it works Everything is open. Nothing is locked and there are no run limits. A banner ad sits at the bottom of result screens, and Survival offers a rewarded video if you choose to continue. Question screens carry no ads. β–  Features - Korean / English toggle - Dark mode (system / light / dark) - Daily reminder - Share your score card as an image - Works offline (rule-based, no network needed)
