Practise a complete timed format
Take a 50-question, 15-minute CCAT-style practice paper, or compare full-length mock formats. Each paper publishes its own timing, scoring and independent practice assumptions.
Choose a skill or assessment
Begin with an untimed practice set, read the explanations, then use a timed challenge if it helps your preparation. Provider guides help you choose the right skills and find official instructions.
- Numerical reasoning: workplace data, percentages and ratios.
- Verbal reasoning: Verbal reasoning tests whether a statement is supported, contradicted or left undecided by a passage. Use the text as your evidence, even when your own experience suggests a different answer.
- CCAT preparation: Prepare for the Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test by practising concise verbal, mathematical and logical problems, then reviewing how quickly and accurately you choose a method.
- Deductive reasoning: Deductive reasoning asks what must follow from stated rules. A conclusion is valid only if there is no arrangement in which the rules hold and the conclusion fails.
- Inductive reasoning: Inductive reasoning means identifying a pattern that explains examples and using it to predict the next case. Start with simple changes and verify the rule against every step.
- Critical thinking: Critical thinking practice helps you distinguish facts, assumptions and conclusions, and judge whether evidence genuinely supports an argument.
- Situational judgement: Situational judgement exercises ask you to compare possible responses to a workplace problem. Identify the objective, constraints and people affected before choosing an action.
- Mechanical reasoning: Mechanical reasoning applies basic principles of forces, motion and simple machines. Draw the system, identify the idealised assumptions and track how force or direction changes.
- Attention to detail: Attention-to-detail practice asks you to compare records precisely, apply a stated checking rule and identify small differences without silently correcting them.
- Finance and accounting aptitude: Finance aptitude practice combines numerical reasoning with careful interpretation of revenue, cost, margin, cash movements and reconciliations.
- Percentage change in workplace data: Calculate increases, decreases and reverse percentages by identifying the original value before choosing a denominator.
- Currency conversion reasoning: Convert currencies by tracking the direction of the quoted rate, then apply any stated fees in the specified currency and order.
- Weighted averages and combined rates: A combined average must reflect group sizes. Add the underlying totals and divide by the combined number of people, items or observations.
- Rates and productivity: Solve productivity problems by converting work into a rate per person, machine or hour, then scale only the quantities the question says are constant.
- Budget variance reasoning: Budget variance compares actual results with a planned baseline. Label whether the item is a cost or revenue before describing a difference as favourable.
- Profit margin, markup and contribution: Margin, markup and contribution use related figures but different bases. Identify revenue, cost and fixed charges before calculating a percentage or break-even point.
- Interpreting workplace tables: Read table headings, units and totals before comparing figures. A larger count does not necessarily mean a better rate or a greater percentage change.
- Number series and rule selection: Find an intended number-series rule by testing differences, ratios and alternating positions, then verify that the same rule explains every transition.
- Scheduling and ordering constraints: Solve scheduling questions by separating fixed positions, precedence rules and resource conflicts before testing possible arrangements.
- Data sufficiency reasoning: Data sufficiency asks whether the supplied facts determine an answer, not merely whether you can form an equation. Test each statement separately before combining them.
- Ratios and proportion in workplace problems: Compare quantities in the right order, share totals, connect linked ratios and distinguish direct from inverse proportion.
- SHL assessment preparation: Use your SHL assessment invitation to identify the exact test, then practise the relevant numerical, verbal or logical reasoning skills.
- Aon assessment preparation: Prepare for an Aon assessment by identifying the named task and practising the particular numerical, verbal, logical or workplace judgement skill it uses.
- Watson-Glaser preparation: Prepare for Watson-Glaser by learning to separate inference, assumptions, deduction, interpretation and evaluation of arguments, then familiarise yourself with the official response formats.
