About Practice Aptitude Tests
We build psychometric practice tests on frameworks designed with chartered occupational psychologists, and check every question against how real candidates answer it.
Built on frameworks from chartered occupational psychologists

Our founder
"I started Practice Aptitude Tests with one belief: with the right practice, anyone can walk into an assessment prepared and confident."
Fifteen years on, that belief still drives everything we build. What began as a way to help a handful of people has grown into a platform trusted by millions, but the mission has not changed: give every candidate a fair shot at the job they want.
How our tests are built
Fifteen years of work sits behind the library: frameworks designed with chartered occupational psychologists, packs modelled on the assessment you will actually sit, and every question checked against how real candidates answer it.
-
Psychologist-designed frameworks
Every test is built to a framework developed with chartered occupational psychologists, including specialists who worked for major publishers such as Watson Glaser and Kenexa. They set what a test measures, how it is timed and how it is scored, and much of the question library is their own work.
-
Modelled on the real assessment
Each pack mirrors the format, timing and question style of the publisher or employer it prepares you for, so what you practise matches what you sit rather than a generic approximation of it.
-
Checked against real results
With more than 20 million sittings on the platform we can see how each question actually behaves: which ones separate strong candidates from weak, and which mislead. Questions that fail that check are pulled rather than left in the library.
The authors behind our guides
The frameworks shape the tests. These are the writers who explain them: a permanent team who have covered aptitude testing and graduate hiring for us over several years, and who are named on every guide they write.
