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

Practise for IQ tests with the item types of real intelligence tests: matrices, number series, figure series, mirror images, operators and digit span. Plus a lab with reaction, attention and memory tasks in which you measurably improve with practice. For aptitude tests, Mensa admission and anyone who wants to know how IQ tests work. IQ TEST ITEMS β€’ Matrices: 3Γ—3 figure matrices as in Raven's test, up to four rules at once, and at higher levels dot patterns that combine, intersect or cancel out β€’ Number series: 28 rule families, from simple differences to interleaved series β€’ Figure series: rotation, count, fill, shape and movement across the grid β€’ Mirror images: rotated or mirrored, with ever-new figures β€’ Operators: insert the operators, precedence applies β€’ Digit span: forwards and backwards, as in the Wechsler test Every item is generated fresh, on five difficulty levels, and after every answer you see the solution step by step. No games, no points: items look like the real test, black figures on a plain background, no animations. LAB: REACTION, ATTENTION, MEMORY Five classic tasks from cognitive psychology to practise: reaction time, Stroop, flanker, Corsi block and dual n-back. With practice you measurably improve at them; a trend curve shows your progress, plus a daily streak. Reaction, attention and memory are tested directly in some selection procedures, such as police or pilot selection. TEST UNDER REAL CONDITIONS 30 items from all categories, 20 minutes, no help until the end. Then a score per category and every wrong item with its solution to work through. SCIENTIFIC BASIS β€’ Practice on the test format measurably improves scores. The meta-analysis by Hausknecht et al. (2007) shows gains of about a quarter of a standard deviation from retesting, more with targeted coaching. β€’ Practising reaction and memory tasks reliably improves performance on exactly those tasks. Whether it transfers to IQ beyond them is disputed (Melby-LervΓ₯g et al. 2016), so IQ Prep does not promise it. β€’ The item types follow established test families: matrices after Raven, digit span after Wechsler (WAIS, WISC), number and figure series as in CogAT and similar batteries. Free to try: three items per category, one full test with mistake review, and three runs of each lab task. Full version $4.99 one time: everything unlimited. No subscription, no ads, no account, no data collection. Training offline, internet only for purchase and restore. IQ Prep is not a standardized intelligence test and does not measure IQ.
