Cyber and intelligence roles

About this practice suite

This suite prepares candidates for cyber and intelligence roles selection in the military and defence sector with 4 skill areas: critical thinking, data interpretation, situational judgment and attention and concentration. 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.
• Data interpretation — Tables, charts, graphs, dashboards, trends, comparisons, and evidence-based conclusions.
• Situational judgment — Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
• Attention and concentration — Sustained focus, selective attention, and accuracy under time pressure.

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 — keys stay on the server — so 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.
