ADHD-friendly aptitude test practice, five questions at a time

Timed tests are hard when focus comes in bursts. Practise for employer and college aptitude tests five questions at a time, with breaks you choose and larger text if you want it.

The practice is the same aptitude trainer everyone uses: timed verbal, numerical, logical and abstract questions, a different paper every sitting, and the working shown for every answer. What changes is how the sitting is laid out on your screen. You choose the settings, the page applies them, and nothing about why you chose them is asked, stored or sent.

What's different here

• One question per screen

  Each question fills the page on its own, with Back and Next and nothing else competing for attention.

• Five-question sets

  Quick 5 deals five questions from one section at that section's pace, a sitting that fits between other things.

• Pause between sets

  Turn on short bursts and a longer sitting stops after every five questions with the clock stopped; a pause button stops it whenever you choose.

• Fewer moving parts

  Calm motion turns off the page's animations and transitions during a sitting.

• Larger text, wider spacing and a reading font

  Bigger type, more space between lines and letters, and a typeface drawn to keep similar letters apart.

• The clock where you want it

  A clock, a bar that empties, or hidden; standard time, 1.5 times or twice the time, or no time limit for practice.

• Read aloud

  Questions read out by your device's own voice, on the device; figure questions say that shapes cannot be read aloud.

• No ads on this page

  This page carries no advertising and no session recording.

How a short set runs

Press Try Quick 5 and the trainer opens with the settings panel and a five-question set ready. Pick a section, or keep the one it offers, and press Start. The five questions run against that section's own pace: about four minutes for verbal or logical questions, five for numerical and a little over three for shapes.

When the set ends you see how many you got right, your pace against the section's, and every question again with its working. Another set is one press away, and so is a longer drill or a full mock if you want one.

Settings you change apply to that visit only. If you want them next time, press Keep these settings on this device; that keeps your display and timing choices in this browser and nothing else, and Forget these settings removes them. Sittings at an employer test's pace always keep their real clock, so extra time, the pause button and breaks apply to the drills, the mock and Quick 5.

Studying for a timed test when focus comes in bursts

These are practical habits many people use to prepare for timed tests. They are suggestions for practice, not medical advice.

• Short and often: two or three five-question sets a day keep the formats familiar without a long stretch of effort.
• Same time, same place: a fixed practice moment, such as after dinner, takes one decision out of the day.
• Meet every format before the day, so none of them costs time working out what it wants.
• Practise the timed version at least once, even if you mostly practise untimed, because working at speed is a different skill.
• Clear the screen: close other tabs and put the phone out of reach for the five minutes a set takes.
• Plan the skip: decide in advance how long you will give a question before guessing and moving on.

Getting ready for the real test

A practice plan works back from your test date: which days to practise, what to practise on each, and a calendar file for your own calendar. The review deck brings back the questions you missed on the days they are due, so a short set each day also clears what you got wrong before. Both are kept on this device, and only if you ask.

What this is not

It is practice. It does not diagnose, treat or improve ADHD or attention, and it does not measure them. Nothing you do here records whether you have ADHD.
