Free EPSO reasoning mock test

What makes it a simulation

The point is to copy the conditions, not just the questions.

• •The clock runs per part and it does not stop. Switching tabs will not pause it, because a real sitting does not pause either.
• •You can move around freely and flag questions to come back to. Deciding what to skip and what to return to is part of what these tests measure.
• •You see no marks until the whole thing is over. Knowing you got the last one wrong would change how you sit the next part, and on the day you will not know.
• •The result is two pass marks, never one percentage.

Which exam this is a mock of

Forty questions in sixty-five minutes, in the order verbal, numerical, abstract, is not a format this site invented. It is the reasoning stage EPSO runs at the front of almost every selection procedure, and it is identical across them.

• •AD5 graduate administrators: this is Part 1 in full.
• •Specialist AD6 and AD7 competitions: this is the reasoning block, sat before the field-related test.
• •AST and AST-SC competitions: this is the reasoning block, sat alongside the professional-skills tests.
• •CAST contract agents: this is the whole psychometric stage.

How you are scored

There are two separate pass marks, and this keeps them separate. Verbal on its own, then numerical and abstract added together. Each one comes back as a pass or a fail against its own bar, with the raw score next to it.

Nothing here averages the two. Someone who scores 19 on verbal and 8 across numerical and abstract has not passed, and a single 68% would tell them they had. A part you did not sit reads as not attempted, never as a pass.

Sit it more than once

The numerical and abstract parts come from generated banks, so a second attempt is a different paper and not the same one again. The app remembers what you have already seen and draws from what is left.

Practise untimed first, until the formats feel automatic. Then use the mock to find out what your pacing is really like.
