Question 1Multiple choice
What is 4.8 ÷ 0.06?
Is there an average cognitive ability test score?
The publisher says there is no universal good or average score for its current test. It does not give candidates a single numerical cognitive score; results are read against the demands of the job.
| Pass mark | None: no pass or fail |
|---|---|
| Score shown to you | No numerical cognitive score |
| How it is scored | Whole response pattern, weighted by difficulty |
How the publisher scores the test
The score is not a simple count of right answers. The publisher's scoring looks at your overall response pattern and weights each question by its difficulty and by the effect of guessing.
The result is combined with the motivation and personality sections and compared with a profile of the job, so the same answers can fit one role better than another.
What you can measure yourself
In practice, two numbers tell you most: how many questions you reach in 12 minutes, and how many of those you get right. Every timed run here gives you both, with your seconds a question.
Raising either one helps. Most people gain more by reaching more questions without losing accuracy than by slowing down to be sure.

Questions people ask
What is a good score on the cognitive ability test?
The publisher says there is no universal good or average score for its current test, because results are compared with the needs of each job.
Can I see my score?
The publisher says traditional numerical scores for the cognitive portion are not available to candidates. Some employers send a candidate feedback report.
Is there a passing score?
No. The publisher says there is no passing or failing grade.
Does guessing help?
The publisher's instructions say guessing is not likely to improve your score. If you think you know the answer but are not sure, mark your best choice and move on.
