Skill-specific practice

20 questions published across 4 sections. Every question is written for this skill specifically: no universal or borrowed bank is substituted. Answers are checked on this device only, and each explanation says why the keyed answer is the strongest and why the most tempting alternative is weaker.

Choose a section

This bank has 4 themed sections and 20 questions in total, ordered so the earlier sections are the gentler ones. Sit a single section, or work through the whole bank in one go. Nothing here is timed. The minutes are only a guide.

Section 1: Stimulus-response rules

Warm up by applying a mapping exactly as stated. This is the part of a reaction task that thinking can improve: knowing what the rule keys on, and when it says do nothing.
