We replicate three test publishers: SHL, Aon and Cappfinity. Each has one free practice test: one subject, one sitting. Check your test invitation: if it names one of these publishers, practise that one. The provider comparison shows which UK employers name each publisher, or are reported to use it.
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, with our own timings, scored to our 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.
In our view, more questions alone won't fix a score. In our drills, each wrong answer shows the trap that caught you and the method that avoids it.
The replicas
Our own questions, each set in the publisher's format. The counts and times in each list are our replica settings. SHL publishes figures only for Verify G+, Aon only for scales numerical and scales verbal, and Cappfinity publishes no item counts. Pick a publisher to see every test we replicate, then answer one question in its format.
SHL · 15 replica forms
Our interactive forms use drag, rank, plot and paint answers; our multiple-choice forms give five options; our Verbal Reasoning uses TRUE, FALSE or Cannot Say.

By what percentage did North's revenue increase from 2023 to 2024?
Aon · 17 replica forms
Aon's own candidate page says points are usually added for each correct answer and deducted for every incorrect one; it does not publish how many. Our replicas score 1 or 0 and explain where a guess would have cost you.

"Northgate's Manchester office was funded by the increase in transaction fees."
Cappfinity · 9 replica forms
One candidate walkthrough reports Cappfinity's on-screen instruction that time is recorded and speed counts, and Deloitte's own page says some questions are timed. Cappfinity publishes no item counts, so our set follows the reported format, and says so.
