Aptly
Read full descriptionHide full description
Free, offline aptitude and psychometric test trainer covering numerical, verbal, logical, abstract, spatial, mechanical and situational-judgment reasoning — with accurate questions, clear step-by-step explanations, realistic timed mock tests, and weak-area analytics. Aptitude and psychometric tests gate the moments that matter: graduate jobs, campus placements, competitive exams, and military selection. Most prep apps cover only a slice, repeat questions, get answers wrong, or bury you in full-screen ads. Aptly is built to be the complete, accurate, respectful one — and it works fully offline with no account. ALL APTITUDE CATEGORIES IN ONE APP Practice every test type employers and exams throw at you: numerical reasoning, data interpretation, verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, logical reasoning, abstract and non-verbal reasoning, spatial reasoning, mechanical reasoning, diagrammatic reasoning, and situational judgment — plus India-style topics like blood relations, coding-decoding, direction sense, syllogisms, series and Venn diagrams. ACCURATE QUESTIONS, CLEAR EXPLANATIONS Every question is original, and each one has been re-solved and checked against its answer key. Every question carries a step-by-step explanation, a shortcut, and a formula reference so you actually learn the method — not just the answer. If something still looks wrong, one tap on the question reports it straight to us. Offline formula and tips sheets cover each topic. REALISTIC TIMED MOCK TESTS Sit full, timed mock tests that simulate real exam pressure. Get your score, a percentile benchmark, a section-by-section breakdown, and a full review of every question with the correct answer and explanation. Configure sections, question count, time limit, and negative marking, or use exam presets shaped like common targets. PREP FOR TESTS LIKE SHL, CCAT, WATSON GLASER AND MORE Exam-style presets help you prepare for assessments such as SHL, CCAT, Wonderlic, Watson Glaser, Kenexa, ASVAB and bank or campus placement tests. Aptly ships its own original questions in those formats — it is not affiliated with or endorsed by these test providers. TRACK YOUR WEAK AREAS See accuracy by category and sub-topic, your score trend over time, a weak-area heatmap, and topic mastery badges. The focus-weak-areas generator builds practice sets from exactly what you keep getting wrong. Bookmark questions and retry your mistakes until they stick. BUILD A DAILY PREP HABIT A fresh Daily Challenge and streak keep you sharp through your study window, with an optional reminder and a home-screen widget. Set your target test date and watch your readiness score climb. PRIVATE AND RESPECTFUL BY DESIGN Aptly is 100 percent offline with no account and no sign-up. Your progress stays on your device. There are no ads while you practice and no ads during a timed test — your focus is never interrupted. The full question bank, mock tests, explanations and analytics are free; ads support the app and an optional one-time purchase removes them. WHAT YOU GET - Numerical, verbal, logical, abstract, spatial, mechanical, diagrammatic, data-interpretation and situational-judgment practice - Step-by-step explanations, shortcuts and offline formula sheets - Timed mock tests with score, percentile benchmark and full review - Exam-style presets for graduate, placement, civil-service and military formats - Weak-area analytics, score trends and mastery badges - Bookmarks, mistakes log and retry-wrong sets - Daily Challenge, streaks and a home-screen widget - Light and dark themes, calculator toggle and negative-marking option - Works completely offline, no account required Download Aptly and start training for any aptitude or psychometric test today.
EU Nerd

Preparing for an EU competition shouldn't cost a small fortune. EU Nerd is a dedicated practice tool for EPSO selection tests, built by candidates who successfully passed the EPSO selection process. We grew tired of preparation materials that didn't match the format of the actual tests and platforms that charged expensive monthly subscriptions. We built the tool we wished we had: realistic questions, instant explanations. Questions reviewed by a human, ensuring you get practice that reflects the actual exam. How do we know? Because we already passed them. Why EU Nerd • Five test types in one app: Complete coverage for Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning, EU Knowledge, and Digital Skills. • 1,400+ original questions: A growing bank of practice material designed to mirror the difficulty and format of EPSO tests. We will add more questions later. The questions will be periodically updated. • NO AI Slop: Don´t expect lame AI-generated ballast. Questions have been built by humans who have passed the official tests. • Realistic mock exams: Full, timed simulations for CAST and Generalist AD5 procedures. • Spaced repetition: The app remembers which questions you get wrong and reintroduces them to reinforce your weak spots. • Instant explanations: Detailed solutions are explained after each question to enable you to learn the patterns the cognitive-based tests (CBT) use. • Exam countdown: You can set your exam date to track your daily practice streak and readiness score. • Test vs Practice mode: In practice mode, you see the right answer and a clear explanation straight after each question. Switching to test mode enables you to simulate the real test under timed conditions. • Offline: practice on your daily commute, on the beach, or while on the plane. You do not need an internet connection. MEET COACH We added a personalized feature: the coach is your personal study plan. It reads your own answers, finds exactly where you are losing marks, and turns your weak spots into targeted practice. It tells you whether you would pass against the real EPSO pass marks, lays out what to do each day up to your exam, and keeps you on pace. Coach is an optional upgrade. Disclaimer: EU Nerd is an independent study aid. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) or any European Union institution. All questions are original content and do not reproduce official exam material.
