Features and Benefits:

Provides a unique ability test online using randomised item content from the item bank that ensures candidates will not have previous exposure to the test

Includes an additional verification test - a follow-up test - which is significantly shorter and is supervised. This seeks to verify if an individual's performance on the first ability test is an accurate measure of their capability. It does this by verifying whether there is an inconsistency between the two test results. Available in over 20 languages.
