Replicas of SHL, Aon and Cappfinity, three publishers UK graduate schemes commonly use. Where a publisher publishes its timings and format, we follow them; where it publishes nothing, the test page says so. One full test per publisher is free. Which one your employer uses is on your invitation email, or see the provider comparison.
How it works
Question banks give you problems and a score. This is a loop: find the gap, learn the method, then sit the real format and watch the number move.
20 timed questions in three sections. Score, estimated percentile, weakest section named, correct answer for every question. One attempt, ever.
20 questions · 17 minutes · one attempt
Weakest section: Verbal, 3 of 7.
Every drill opens with a lesson and a worked example. Every wrong answer gets a step-by-step method and the trap it fell into, named.
Try It · Ratios, Fractions & Proportions
What caught you
The denominator is one of the parts instead of the sum of the parts. A 2 : 5 split is scaled by 2/7, never 2/5.
Step-by-step method
Remember
A ratio's whole is the sum of its parts. 'Of the team' means the whole.
Get it right and only the method and the reminder show.
41 replica forms across SHL, Aon and Cappfinity, timed and scored to specification. Accuracy, pace and estimated percentile on every sitting.
Last 10 sittings · accuracy by category
Numerical: 62%, fast. You are rushing, not running out of time. 75% is where the engine calls a category solid.
Candidates often lose marks on the same handful of traps, under time pressure. Seeing more questions doesn't fix that. Learning the trap does.
The replicas
Our own questions, each set in the publisher's format and built from what that publisher publishes. Pick a publisher to see every test we replicate, then answer one question in its format.
SHL · 15 replica forms
Drag, rank, plot and paint on the interactive forms; five options on the multiple-choice ones; TRUE, FALSE or Cannot Say on Verbal Reasoning.

Single countdown · no going back
"Northgate's Manchester office was funded by the increase in transaction fees."
Cappfinity · 9 replica forms
