About this practice suite
This suite prepares candidates for casework selection in the legal, compliance, courts, and governance sector with 5 skill areas: critical thinking, written communication, situational judgment, planning and scheduling exercises and problem solving. Every question was written by Novus editors for this suite (none are taken from live or leaked exams), and the full bank holds 52 scored questions across three modes, plus 8 reserve questions used to vary repeat attempts. Answer keys never ship to the browser: your answers are scored server-side, and results stay on your device.
Skills this suite practises
- Critical thinking: Evaluating evidence, assumptions, arguments, credibility, and alternative explanations.
- Written communication: Grammar, vocabulary, sentence correction, clarity, tone, proofreading, and workplace writing.
- Situational judgment: Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
- Planning and scheduling exercises: Resources, dependencies, deadlines, constraints, and contingency planning.
- Problem solving: Selecting methods, combining information, troubleshooting, and reaching practical solutions.
Sample questions from the guided bank
Two of the 10 guided-practice questions, shown exactly as they appear in a session. Answers and explanations are not printed here, because keys stay on the server. Open guided practice to answer them and see how you did.

Practice modes and timing
Guided practice is untimed-feeling and instructional; the mini-test is a short timed check; the full simulation mirrors a complete sitting. All three draw on separate question sets, so moving up a mode never repeats what you practised.

|---|---|---|---|
| Guided practice | 10 | 15 minutes | Open |
| Timed mini-test | 12 | 18 minutes | Open |
