    Follow the patterns

    I did not concentrate on time and had full concentration on questions. Will have to keep an eye on time next time. I had plenty of time to go through each question thoroughly.

    Strange but easy to understand

    The lack of forewarning about the fact that is solely testing visual pattern recognition is probably an oversight.

    This is difficult and needs practice

    I would really like to practice a couple weeks – not just a few hours – before taking the real test to go with the application, but I have always enjoyed puzzles. I wish I had been able to this at school.
