Daily training at your level

One short session a day, with exercises from our own bank, separate from the test. Each area has its own level, and it keeps up with you.

  • 10 items a day
  • about 8 minutes
  • over 800 exercises

What you see

How the training works

  • 1

    A 10-item session

    2 matrices, 2 series, 2 rotations, 1 logic, 1 verbal and 2 memory, in random order.

  • 2

    One level per area

    Get it right and that area’s level goes up one. Miss it and it goes down one. It runs from 1 to 5 and is saved from one day to the next.

  • 3

    Feedback that explains

    After each answer, the correct answer and why. For matrices, the explanation comes from the shape’s own rule.

How it works

A day of training

  1. Open "Today’s training"

    In the member area. Each area’s starting level is based on your test result.

  2. Answer the 10 items

    Each answer shows whether you got it right, the explanation and whether the area’s level changed.

  3. See the summary

    Correct answers for the session, your best run and the level in each area. The day counts toward your streak.

Details

The rules

  • A bank separate from the testNo training exercise is a question from the test or the retest. A script compares the banks and blocks any overlap.
  • No repeats for weeksAn exercise seen less than 21 days ago only comes back if there’s no other one available in that area.
  • Day streakA day counts when all 10 items are done. Wrong answers don’t break the streak; a full day without training resets it.
  • The level isn’t IQThe 1–5 level shows the difficulty you’re practicing at. It never appears as IQ anywhere.

Practicing a type of question improves performance on that type of question. We don’t promise an IQ increase: meta-analyses show little or no transfer from training to reasoning in general (Sala and Gobet, 2019).

Questions

Questions about this feature

Does the training increase IQ?

We don’t promise that. The training makes you more comfortable with these problem formats. Research shows the gain stays with the type of task practiced.

How long does it take each day?

About 8 minutes: it’s 10 items. You can do it on your phone.

Does the training use the test questions?

No. The training bank is our own and kept separate. That way, training gives you no head start on the test or the retest.
