How to interpret this: This score reflects performance on this practice question set only. It must not be converted into an IQ number or used to diagnose ability. The test has not been standardized across age groups.

About this mixed reasoning test
This is the all-round test in the series. It samples five areas that appear in most reasoning tests: number problems, word relationships, logical deduction, pattern spotting and spatial thinking. Ten questions cover each area, so your section scores show where you are strongest and where to practise next.
How to get the most from it
Work through the questions in order, skip anything that takes more than a minute, and come back to it. Use scrap paper for the number and spatial items. After you finish, read the answer review for every question you missed, because the reason matters more than the score.
What this test practises
The mixed test works like a quick health check. Because exactly ten questions cover each of the five areas, the five section scores can be compared fairly, and the lowest one points to where a short burst of practice will help most. It also gives you the feel of a full reasoning assessment without the length of one.
A worked example
Sample question: Which number comes next: 3, 6, 12, 24, ?
Answer: 48. Each number is double the one before it.
Reading your results: Suppose you score 8/10 on numbers, 9/10 on words, 5/10 on logic, 6/10 on patterns and 4/10 on spatial thinking. The two lowest areas are spatial thinking and logic, so the next tests to try would be Patterns and Shapes and Logical Thinking. A section score out of ten is only a rough guide, so look for the biggest gap and not for small differences.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Looking only at the total and ignoring the section scores.
Retaking the test straight away, when you may only be remembering the answers.
Skipping the answer review for questions you got right by luck.
Comparing the result with friends as if it were an IQ number.
Your mark out of 100 shows how you did on these 50 questions on one day. It is not an IQ number, because a real IQ score comes from a standardised test given and interpreted by a qualified psychologist and compared with a large norm group. Use the section scores to choose what to practise, and retake the test after a week or two to see progress. Tiredness, noise and stress change results, so one low score is not a verdict on your ability.
