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: Universal statements: all and every

Warm up by applying statements that cover an entire group, and by noticing when a rule cannot be run backwards.
