Do better on the logic test in a recruitment process. Matrix reasoning is one of the most common task types in job tests, and practice makes a difference: if you have seen the format before, you lose no time working out the task and you go in calmer. A few days is enough to get the format down. The first five tasks are free. The rest is unlocked with a one-time purchase. No subscription, no login, no ads. ANSWERS THAT EXPLAIN After each answer you see exactly which rules applied: not "the number changes", but "the number increases by 1 to the right and decreases by 1 downwards". If you get it wrong, you can open an example of the rule you missed. TASKS THAT NEVER RUN OUT Eight kinds of tasks, from figures and sector wheels to arrows, symbols, paths and crosses, with the same rules as in the real tests. The tasks are generated on the phone, so you never see the same task twice. PRACTISE OR TAKE THE TEST • Practise: one task at a time, the answer right away, and a time per task that you choose. The level follows you, or you set it. • Test: choose 5, 10, 15 or 20 tasks at two minutes or one minute each, with adaptive difficulty. Afterwards a level 1–10 and a review of every task. The statistics show how your level develops and which rules to practise. GOOD TO KNOW Your results are stored on the phone only. The app sends anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn off. The level is the app's own scale and does not predict the result of any other test.
