Aptly

Features
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, all working 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 from the question in one tap. TIMED MOCK TESTS THAT FEEL LIKE THE REAL THING Choose an exam-style preset (Graduate Ā· 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 by sub-topic and a one-tap retry of the ones you missed. Over time, accuracy by topic, your 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 the heatmap names your weakest sub-topic. Mistakes are collected automatically, "Retry my mistakes" turns them into a practice run, and you can bookmark any question to come back to. A DAILY HABIT BEFORE TEST DAY A fresh Daily Challenge and streak, 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. FREE TO USE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE All 322 questions, every mock test, every explanation and all the analytics are free. 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. WHAT'S INSIDE - 322 original questions across 10 categories and 64 sub-topics, including India-style reasoning: blood relations, coding-decoding, direction sense, seating arrangement, Venn diagrams, clocks and calendars and data sufficiency - Step-by-step explanations, shortcuts and 46 offline formula and tips cards - Hints that reveal the shortcut before you answer - Timed mocks with score, estimated percentile and full review - CCAT-, SHL-, ASVAB / ADF-, placement- and civil-service-style presets - Useful practice for cognitive ability tests such as the CCAT and Wonderlic - Weak-area analytics, score trend and mastery badges - Bookmarks, a mistakes log and retry-wrong sets - Daily Challenge, streaks, reminders and a test-date countdown - Calculator toggle, negative marking, light and dark themes - 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.

Sat an online assessment for a job application? Assessment Ready is practice for the cut-e / Aon test range — the aptitude tests employers use to shortlist candidates before interview. Every test is rebuilt to mirror the real thing: the same formats, the same time pressure, the same answer mechanics. Practise until the format stops costing you marks, so on the day you are only being tested on what you actually know. WHAT'S INSIDE — 16 TESTS THE SMARTPREDICT CHALLENGES (5) Aon's gamified series, used at the front of graduate and volume-hiring schemes. • Deductive Reasoning (switchChallenge) — find the code that reorders the row • Deductive Reasoning (gapChallenge) — fill the gap so no shape repeats • Working Memory (gridChallenge) • Complex Planning (motionChallenge) • Numerical Comprehension (digitChallenge) THE SCALES RANGE (11) The classic timed ability tests, used across graduate, commercial and technical roles. • Numerical Reasoning — read tables and charts against the clock • Verbal Reasoning — true / false / cannot say on business passages • Logical Reasoning, Inductive Reasoning and Inductive Logic • Abstract Logic • Spatial Reasoning — fold the net into the cube • Language Skills — business grammar, spelling and vocabulary • Concentration — speeded accuracy under pressure • Mechanical & Technical Comprehension — gears, pulleys, springs, torque • Understanding of Basic Instructions — read the tabs, judge each statement WHY IT WORKS • Authentic - tuned to the real timing, controls and scoring, not a generic quiz • Adaptive - several tests get harder as you answer correctly, like the real ones • Instant scoring - see exactly where you lost marks, question by question • Answer review on the written tests - go back through what you got wrong • Global leaderboards — see how you rank against other candidates • Progress tracking - your accuracy and speed on every test over time • Community - prepare alongside other candidates on our Discord • Four languages - English, German, French and Spanish, with the word-based tests written natively in each rather than machine-translated • Practise anywhere - short sessions that fit around your day WHO IT'S FOR Anyone sitting a cut-e / Aon (Aon Assessment Solutions) online test as part of a job application - graduate schemes, apprenticeships, and commercial, technical, finance, consulting and volume-hiring roles.
