Format, timing, scoring, and what a competitive score looks like.

02

Build your study plan

A realistic 6–12 week schedule — little and often beats cramming.

Exam-day pacing & mindset

Triage, flagging, and keeping calm when the clock bites.

04

Skim, scan, decide

Reading fast enough without losing accuracy.

05

Fact vs inference

The line the exam loves to blur.

06

09

Statement questions

Handling true / false / can't-tell sets at speed.

10

Structure & ordering

Following logical flow and reordering ideas.

VR trap library

The recurring baits, each with its trap code.

12

Syllogisms & deduction

Valid conclusions vs merely plausible ones.

13

Venn & set logic

Two-, three- and four-set problems.

Practice · the mock engine

Eight ways to sit the exam before you sit the exam.

Every mock is timed and auto-marked, and every mock returns a trap profile — the trap types that keep catching you, so you know exactly what to drill next.

4

Four section mocks

One focused paper per subtest, real timing.

4

Four full mocks

Mock 1 in Pro; Mocks 2–4 as add-ons.

Real conditions

Countdown, on-screen calculator feel, instant scoring.
