Good to know
- The real test is on a computer at a test centre. Every question is multiple choice, and you do your working on paper.
- No calculator. The maths questions are about careful thinking, not remembering lots of facts.
- Thinking Skills needs no special knowledge. It is all about clues, patterns and puzzles.
An honest note
Pack 1 is a short taster, not a full mock test. The real test has many more questions, and its Thinking Skills part uses lots of pictures. Ours are words only for now. Your score here is just a practice score. It does not predict a placement result. More packs are planned.
