Practice Exercises

The real assessment exercises this course prepares you for.

The Riverside Transport Museum charges 12 pounds for an adult ticket and 6 pounds for a child, while children under five enter free. The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Photography is permitted throughout the galleries.
The museum has a café for visitors.

Data Interpretation

Read data from a chart or table — bar, line, pie or table — and answer a numerical question or judge a statement True, False or Cannot Say, one item at a time against the clock. Play with a single chart per question, or the cut-e-realistic tabbed workbook where finding the right dataset is part of the task.

Matrix Transformations

Grid Classification

Six example tables, two hidden classes — deduce the rule that separates them and assign new tables to the right class. Adapted from the cut-e (Aon) scales cls format, including an Assessment Format mode that mirrors the real screen: four unmarked tables per item, 12 items in 12 minutes.

Non-Verbal Reasoning

Spot the rule in a set of abstract figures — pick the odd one out, the option that completes the pattern, or the true rotation of a figure. Tests non-verbal, fluid reasoning under time pressure.

Forced-Choice Personality Questionnaire

Practice the forced-choice personality format used in airline selection (Aon/cut-e shapes, SHL OPQ32r). Each block shows three equally positive statements — pick the one most like you and the one least like you, then see the relative trade-off profile your choices produce.

Situational Judgement Test

Read realistic cockpit and crew-room scenarios and judge how a professional flight crew would respond. A practice and reflection tool: after you commit, you compare your judgement with an expert reference and read the reasoning behind it.
