A score for each of the four areas

Each area gets its own score and its own likely range, drawn against your overall score.

A written report on your own answers

The report has eight sections and is written from your own results. These are the first two sections for the sample sitting, exactly as the report writer produced them.

Your score in context

Your score is 110. On a scale where 100 is the average and about two thirds of people score between 85 and 115, that is in the high average band, at the 74th percentile: higher than about 74 in every 100 people. Roughly 1 person in 4 scores this high or higher.

You answered 19 of 32 questions correctly in 16 minutes of the 25 allowed. You finished inside the limit, so time was not what held the score where it is.

How sure this score is

No test of 32 questions can pin a score to a single point. Your likely range is 101 to 119. If you took a second version tomorrow, your score would most likely land inside that range, and a result a few points either way would not mean anything had changed.

The norms behind this score are provisional. They rest on assumed difficulties for the questions until enough people have taken the test to measure them, and this page will show the recalibrated figure when that happens.

The other six sections: Patterns: fluid reasoning; Series: inductive reasoning; Spatial: visual reasoning; Logic: deductive reasoning; Where your answers went wrong; What this result does not tell you.

Every question explained

On the free result, two of the questions you missed are explained in full. The pack explains all 32: the rule behind each question, the right answer, and why the option you chose does not fit.

A named certificate

A PDF with your name, your score, its band and likely range, the date, and a serial number. Anyone you give the serial to can check the certificate on this site.

The price

$6.99. One payment. No subscription. Refunds are given on request within 14 days. You only see the offer after your free result, and you never give card details to see your score.
