Diagnostic practice

100 questions published across 10 sections. Every question is written for this skill specifically — no universal or borrowed bank is substituted. Answers are checked on this device only, and the result is an educational practice band for that exercise, never a clinical, diagnostic, or IQ-style score.

Choose a section

This bank has 10 themed sections and 100 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: Letter positions and number codes

Warm up with the most common code of all: each letter stands for its place in the alphabet, so A is 1 and Z is 26.

1. In a code, each letter is replaced by its position in the alphabet, so A is 1 and B is 2. What number stands for the letter G?
2. In a code where A is 1 and Z is 26, which letter is written as the number 12?
3. In a code, each letter is replaced by its alphabet position, so CAB is written 3-1-2. How is BAD written?
4. In a code, DOG is written 4-15-7 because each letter is replaced by its alphabet position. How is COW written?
5. In a code where each letter is replaced by its alphabet position, which word is written 19-21-14?
6. In a code, letters are replaced by their alphabet positions, so M is written 13. Which letter is written 20?
7. In a code, a word is written as the total of its letters' alphabet positions. What number stands for the word CAB?
8. In a code, ACE is written 1-3-5 because each letter is replaced by its alphabet position. Which word is written 2-4-6?
9. In a code, letters are replaced by their alphabet positions. Which letter has a position number exactly double that of D?
10. In a code, TEN is written 20-5-14 because each letter is replaced by its alphabet position. Which word is written 20-5-1?
