Started by a candidate who liked the tests everyone else dreaded.
A graduate offer in finance or consulting is harder to land than most people expect — and the aptitude test is where most of that competition actually happens.
For most major finance and consulting schemes, a timed online test sits between your application and any human ever reading it.
In competitive schemes, more candidates are cut at the online-assessment stage than at any later stage — often within days of applying.
These tests are norm-referenced: you're scored against the other applicants in your cycle, not a fixed pass mark. Being good isn't enough — you have to be better.
The formats, the timings and the traps repeat. Candidates who train them systematically walk in with an advantage the rest don't have.
I started Acumen Logic after seeing first-hand how competitive the UK job market is — especially in finance.
Aptitude tests were always my favourite part of an application. My peers never quite understood that — but it meant that every application season, friends came to me for advice on how to approach them. The more I practised, the better I got, to the point of achieving exceptionally high scores. And somewhere along the way it became clear that this wasn't a talent. It was a skill I had trained — and a skill that can be taught.
That's what Acumen Logic is. It identifies your weakest areas and targets them with concise, practical drills, so the test stops being the thing that ends your application. My goal is simple: help you clear the aptitude-test hurdle, reach the later stages, and land the job you actually want.

Every replica assessment is built to the provider's published specification — timings, question formats and scoring rules, taken from the provider's own published material. Provider-published material outranks everything else; prep-industry claims are never used as the sole basis for anything. Percentiles are estimates from a model calibrated to graduate-level reasoning performance, and they are labelled "estimated" everywhere they appear. When a provider changes a test, the replica gets corrected.
The Benchmark is free. 22 minutes, an instant estimated percentile, and the correct answer for every question.
