General Reasoning Test

What does the General Reasoning Test measure?

Considered an in-depth measure of mental agility the General Reasoning Test (GRT2 and IRT4) has been designed to assess general reasoning ability.

An assessment suitable for non-graduate level applicants, the assessment is made up of three sections - measuring verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning ability - which can be administered individually or together.
