Feature · Beyond the test

Retest with new questions

Retaking the same questions would measure how well you remember them. The retest uses a parallel form and shows whether the difference exceeds the margin of error.

What you see

What the retest does

  • 1

    New questions, same yardstick

    The same areas and the same difficulty, with different questions. Every question in the test has an equivalent in the parallel form.

  • 2

    Practice taken into account

    People who retake a test gain a few points just from already knowing the format. The comparison discounts that effect.

  • 3

    Change only above the margin

    Every test has a margin of error. The comparison says "up", "down" or "stable", and only flags a change when it exceeds the margin.

How it works

How it works

  1. First test

    Your result and range are saved in your history.

  2. 30 days later

    The retest opens 30 days after your first test, after the first subscription renewal. The first 7 days don’t reach it.

  3. The comparison

    The two scores side by side, each with its own range, and a conclusion that already accounts for practice.

Details

What to expect

  • The most common result is "stable"With the margins of two tests added together, only large changes show up. Most retests come out stable, and the report says so.
  • HistoryEach test becomes a point on your progress chart, with its 95% range.

The retest is not proof that your IQ changed. It shows whether the difference between two tests goes beyond what chance and practice would explain.

Questions

Questions about this feature

Why can’t I retake the same questions?

Because you’ve already seen them. The result would measure how well you remember the answers, not your reasoning.

If I train, will my retest go up?

We don’t promise that. Training improves performance on the formats practiced, and the comparison discounts the effect of already knowing the test.

When does the retest open?

30 days after your first test. The member area shows the exact date.
