Content review records

What this record covers

APTITUDE TESTER publishes dated checks for 20 employer teaching topics, including percentages, weighted averages, ratios, table interpretation, verbal reasoning and deduction. Together they contain 322 teaching questions in 32 sets. Each topic below gives its actual review date and scope against the prompts, supplied data, options, keys and explanations. Foundation-only guides have one set; six priority paths also have intermediate and advanced sets.

These are AI-assisted development and editorial checks. They are not a claim of independent human expert review, calibrated difficulty or psychometric validation. These teaching records cover their stated sets. Separate records below describe the active legacy corpus, assembled papers and workplace foundation. Review checks cannot rule out every possible error or interpretation.

How to use this record

Find the topic below, read the stated check and follow the relevant set. Each question has a content reference and a report link. When reporting an issue, include that reference, the source page and your reasoning. A revision identifies the exact set content covered by this check; it changes if an option, key, explanation or supplied passage changes, even when the page URL stays the same.

Active legacy question corpus

The active database review covers 1070 topic-question appearances and 675 model-paper appearances: 1745 appearances in total, representing 1387 distinct prompt-and-passage identities. The content work began on 2026-10-22; the final evidence integration was checked on 2026-10-23. Later explanation corrections have their own dated records. Counts describe repeated appearances, not that many additional original questions.

Independent prompt solvers check numerical and formal-rule items; explicit answer-and-reason ledgers cover language and factual teaching items; finite-model checks cover syllogisms and seating; displayed-clue graph checks cover family relationships. Retained copies require full-content equality with reviewed sources. The six refreshed model papers draw different selections from a shared reviewed bank. They overlap and are not statistically equivalent assessment forms.

The checked revision has no uncovered active appearances, within-paper repeated prompt-and-passage groups or cloned model papers. Checks include options, keys, explanations, supplied passages and the stated ambiguity/rounding conventions. Inactive superseded rows and unimported historical dumps are outside this active-public-content scope. A matching revision proves content equality with the reviewed version, not perfect correctness, internet uniqueness, independent human expert sign-off or psychometric validity.

Review maintenance checks changed content immediately and flags the first due scope from 2027-01-20; it does not automatically renew dates. Factual and regulatory questions identify their educational scope and sources; check current official guidance before acting on a real legal or financial matter.

Separate workplace numerical foundation

Recorded check: 2026-10-23 · 12 questions in one workplace numerical practice set.

Recalculated all twelve hypothetical workplace exercises: rates, denominators, sequential tax/discount, conversion, weighted means, budgets, margins, transfers, deliveries, compounded price, totals and backlog. Read every alternative and explanation; no official assessment calibration or current financial-rate claim.

Assembled practice-paper checks

These records cover the final assembled papers separately from the teaching sets above. The two papers contain 150 appearances representing 130 distinct prompt-and-passage identities; many are reused teaching items. Coverage is not 150 additional original questions. The check includes the final option order and added distractors. These are AI-assisted checks, with no provider endorsement, independent human expert sign-off or psychometric calibration.

CCAT-style full-length practice

Recorded check: 2026-10-22 · 50 appearances.

AI-assisted review of the final assembled CCAT-style paper: all five choices, keyed answers, explanations, language relations, quantitative and finite logical reasoning, spatial SVGs and converted source items. Teaching-source semantic reviews and simulation-specific language/spatial evidence support this record; no independent human sign-off or psychometric validation.

IBPS PO prelims-style full-length practice

Recorded check: 2026-10-22 · 100 appearances.

AI-assisted review of the final assembled bank-prelims paper: all five choices, keyed answers, explanations, supplied passages, language, coding, quantitative and finite logical reasoning, section metadata and converted source items. Teaching-source semantic reviews and simulation-specific language/coding evidence support this record; no independent human sign-off or psychometric validation.

Recorded changes and retained questions

• 23 October 2026 — legacy audit integration: removed cosmetic repeats, rebuilt six cloned papers as disclosed shared-bank selections, corrected mixture and clock keys, clarified underdetermined seating and number rules, repaired rounded intermediate explanations, and distinguished binary kibibytes from decimal kilobytes. Existing URLs and historical saved attempts are retained; changed prompts are different learning exposures.
• 22 October 2026 — extended teaching review: reviewed the remaining 140 employer teaching items. Clarified evidence and causation, final inspection outcomes, mechanical assumptions, sequence rules, schedule start times and the individual-cost target in a data-sufficiency question. These wording changes can create new question references; existing browser history is retained.
• 19 October 2026 — weighted averages: changed “total speed” to “average speed” in the eighth foundation explanation. Clarified volume units for the tenth mixture question. The numerical keys were retained after recalculation. The mixture wording change produces a new question reference; earlier saved attempts remain in the browser.
• 19 October 2026 — ratio learning path: added a dedicated workplace-ratio lesson and three graded sets, retaining the existing quantitative ratio URLs.
• 20 October 2026 — data and reasoning: added labelled source tables, evidence-based verbal explanations and finite-case deduction checks. Teaching levels describe reasoning steps rather than validated ability bands.
• 21 October 2026 — publisher and reporting: added the editorial policy, identified-question reporting, private review and dated decisions. A labelled release smoke report tested the queue; it was not represented as a real content error.

What happens when a report is received?

A successful submission receives a receipt. The publisher checks the stated issue against the source question, records a decision and, if needed, verifies a saved correction before marking it corrected. Reports may be closed without a change when the original explanation is supported; the reason is recorded. Private report text and personal information are not published here.

There is no guaranteed review turnaround. This page records completed checks and specific changes; it does not imply continuous expert monitoring. Report a question issue or read the editorial policy and review limits.
