Most employer reasoning tests put a 3x3 grid of figures in front of you with one cell missing, and every one of them turns on the same ten patterns. This course teaches those patterns one lesson at a time, with a guided think-through and a drill of unseen questions per pattern, then measures you: a quiz per chapter, a speed round with no pattern named, and full sittings under the clock. It opens by telling you which test you are facing and how it runs. The first lesson of every module is open; full access opens the rest.
What you get
- 1Every pattern a 3x3 matrix question can turn on, ten lessons in the order the tests use them, each ending in a quiz. Free to start
- 2Hundreds of verified questions, each with the rule, the tactic, and why every wrong option was built to catch you. Free to start
- 3Guided practice, "Now think like this": four prompts that walk you through one question at a time until the method is a habit. Full access
- 4Every practice test on the site, untimed and timed, the short employer-screen mock and the adaptive test, with second and later sittings. Free to start
- 5Which test you are facing and how it runs, publisher by publisher, with every number sourced to the publisher's own document. Free
- 6Your readiness report: accuracy per pattern across every sitting, weakest first, so you know what to drill the night before. Free
The course is built around one habit: name the pattern before you look at the options. The ten pattern lessons teach it, the guided practice trains it, the quizzes and the speed round measure it, and the full practice tests rehearse it under the same clock the real test uses.
Everything free on this site stays free, including the first lesson of every module and the first sitting of every practice test. Full access is $29 once for 12 months, with a 30-day refund, and it opens every paid lesson in every course here.

- Common traps15 minFull access
- Is this an official SHL, Korn Ferry, Aon, Assessio or McKinsey course?
- No. It is independent practice material. It uses no publisher's questions, and it says so on every practice test.
- What is free?
- Enrolling, the whole introduction, the first pattern lesson with its drill and quiz, the first three questions of every other drill, the test-day playbook, and the first sitting of every practice test.
- What does full access add?
- Every paid lesson in every course on this site, the drills past their preview, the quizzes, the speed round, the review queue and later sittings of every test. $29 once for 12 months, 30-day refund.
- Can I pause a test?
- The timed tests have a Pause button beside the clock that keeps your answers on the same device. The Raven's forms are untimed and a sitting is kept for a day, so you can close the page and come back. The real tests cannot be paused.
- Does my progress follow me?
- Lesson progress is saved to your account and follows you between devices. Paused sittings stay on the device they were started on.
