What this assessment looks like

A pattern-recognition screen: a list of numbers hiding a rule - arithmetic, geometric, alternating, second-order differences, or interleaved sequences - and you supply the next term before the clock runs out.

  • First and second differences, ratios, and alternating patterns
  • Interleaved sequences (two rules taking turns)
  • Squares, cubes, primes and factorials recognised on sight
  • Committing to an answer with seconds left

Train it here

  • Sequence Sprint - Timed next-term sequences, exactly the assessment format.
  • Arithmetic Drill - The raw calculation speed that sequence tests assume you already have.
