Before you start

Treat each task’s facts as true. Combine all the rules; do not add assumptions from everyday life.
Use the labelled controls to rank, assign or schedule items, or select the required dates. Then select Submit answer. Only submitted answers count.
Our learning practice moves forward only. Skip question records no answer and cannot be undone.
There is no time limit. After each answer, study the original task and the worked deduction, then select Continue.

Our original tasks cover ranking, grouping, shared availability, scheduling and calendar dates. They use a fixed mix, rather than reproducing SHL’s adaptive test or official scoring.
