Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 30-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

The computer-based test format: one clock, a question palette, and a score the moment you submit.

  • A clock that does not pause. 30 minutes from the moment you begin, and the paper is submitted for you when it reaches zero.
  • Question palette. Answered, not answered and marked for review, section by section, as the real interface has it.
  • Full screen, proctored. The test takes over the screen; leaving it three times submits the paper.

  • Dice positions, transparent sheet folding, paper folding, figure analogies, mirror images and embedded figures
  • Word formation from a long given word and number-to-letter word arrangement

Key reasoning concepts to revise for Tier 2

  • Alphabet positions and their reverse values for fast coding and series work
  • Applying BODMAS correctly after replacing symbols with operations
