I sat aptitude tests at promotion after promotion at global companies. People said you couldn't prepare for them. The results still counted.
I came to disagree with part of that advice. Practice won't change what a test measures. But you can get to know the question types, get used to working against the clock and learn from your mistakes, so that an unfamiliar format is not what decides the day. Read the full story
Know the test
What online aptitude tests measure
Employers combine these question types in different ways, and each publisher's test looks a little different. These are the families you are most likely to meet.
Numerical reasoning
Reading tables and charts, picking the numbers that matter and working out percentages, ratios and change. A calculator is often allowed, so the real test is spotting which figures to use, fast.
Verbal reasoning
Reading a short passage and deciding whether a statement is true, false or cannot be said. You judge only on what the passage says, not on what you happen to know.
Abstract and inductive reasoning
Finding the rule in a sequence or grid of shapes and choosing what comes next. There are almost no words, so it rewards a method for hunting rules more than language skill.
Logical and deductive reasoning
Drawing only the conclusions that must follow from the facts given: ordering, matching and combining conditions.
Critical thinking
Spotting assumptions, judging whether an inference holds and weighing the strength of arguments. Common in graduate and professional services recruitment.
Situational judgement
Reading a workplace scenario and rating how effective each response is. The right answer depends on the behaviours the employer is looking for.
The myth
"You can't prepare for these tests." Half true.
Practice will not transform your underlying reasoning ability overnight, and no honest app should promise that it will.
But some lost marks may have less to do with the abilities a test is meant to measure than with the conditions around it. Meeting a question type for the first time and burning a minute working out what it wants. Misjudging the clock and leaving the last questions blank. Nerves knocking out the method you normally use.
Those are preparation problems, and preparation is something you can do.
Familiarity
If you have seen the format before, you spend your time answering, not decoding instructions.
Speed
You learn what a minute per question feels like, and when to move on rather than dig in.
Nerves
Knowing you have done the work makes it easier to stay with your method under pressure.
Free checklist
Your test-day checklist
Useful whether or not you use ACE-Test.
As soon as the invite arrives
- If a disability or health condition affects how you take timed tests, ask the employer about reasonable adjustments as early as you can, before you start the test.
- If the invitation links to a practice test from the test publisher, take it. It is the best way to see the real screens and controls.
- Check whether your university careers service or employer offers free practice tests too, and use them alongside ACE-Test.
The day before
- Reread the invitation email. Check the deadline, the time zone and the test link.
- Check your device and browser against the employer's technical requirements.
- Find out whether a calculator and rough paper are allowed, and have them ready if so.
- Open the eve-of-test review in ACE-Test: the key points and the questions you missed in the last 14 days.
- Do not start new topics. Get a proper night's sleep.
On the day
- Turn off notifications and book a quiet slot where nobody will interrupt you.
- Check your battery and connection. Plug in a laptop if you can.
- Read the instructions screen carefully, especially how the time limit works.
- Do not get stuck. If a question is eating your time, pick your best answer and move on.
- Follow the instructions on guessing. Whether wrong answers cost marks depends on the test.

FAQ
Questions people ask
What is ACE-Test?
ACE-Test is an iPhone and iPad app for practising the online aptitude tests used in graduate, experienced-hire and promotion assessments. It has 870 original practice questions with hints and explanations, a free 5-question diagnostic and an eve-of-test review.
What can I use for free?
The 5-question diagnostic, up to 3 practice questions a day, explanations of the questions you got wrong and the eve-of-test review are free for everyone, with no account and no time limit. Premium adds unlimited practice, timed mock tests, spaced repetition and a plan paced to your test date.
Can five questions tell me my real level?
No. Five questions are not a precise measure of ability. The diagnostic lets you try test-level questions on a clock, see your first result and find the formats you find hardest, so you know where to start.
Will practice guarantee a higher score?
No one can honestly guarantee that. Practice does not change your underlying ability overnight. What it can change is familiarity with the formats, your sense of timing and how calm you are, which are the things that cost people marks they should have had.
Are these the real test questions?
No. All questions are original practice material written by our team. ACE-Test does not reproduce any real test's questions, screens or scoring and is not affiliated with any test publisher or employer.
What is the difference between Weekly Premium and Lifetime Access?
They unlock the same features. Weekly Premium renews every week until you cancel. Lifetime Access is a single payment with no expiry. In the UK they cost £4.99 a week or £19.99 once, and in Australia A$7.99 a week or A$29.99 once. Prices in other countries are shown in the App Store.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. ACE-Test is available on iPhone and iPad.
Do I need an account?
No. Install the app and you can start the diagnostic straight away.
