A test catalogue gives you questions someone wrote in advance, and you read the solution when you get one wrong. ReasonEra begins with your own stuck question and shows you the answer and the rule behind it in seconds. The published benchmark ReasonEra released compared specialised and general models, and found the specialised ones ahead on these tests.
Why some candidates choose the specialist.
Add a screenshot of whichever question you are working on. You are not limited to a fixed catalogue, and you do not need to find the right test first.
You get the answer within seconds of uploading, so there is more of your session left for understanding why.
The explanation names each rule, such as rotation, counting or shading, so you can spot it on your own next time.
Three trials come free with an account. A single 49 € payment then removes the limit for 14 days on all supported tests.
We keep refining the model for pre-employment tests, especially visual reasoning puzzles, as the formats evolve.
Open it on a laptop or phone, with no download and no QR code. The site comes in nine languages.
Practice Aptitude Tests is wider and built around full-length practice. This is where it has the advantage.
It lists 17 aptitude test types, 10 personality catalogues and hundreds of employer-specific tests, with full-length timed practice.
Its Pro plan is listed at £39 a year, which is cheaper than a 14-day pass if you want months of practice rather than a short sprint.
Its Basic plan includes one free test in every format with basic score tracking, so you can start without paying.
It shows your score against a benchmark and, on Pro, a dashboard of your performance over time.
Structure plus explanation. A catalogue gives you a planned route through full-length tests. If one question stops you, ReasonEra shows the rule behind it and you continue.
Stay with material you may use. Only upload questions from sources you have the right to copy, for example free samples, official practice items and your own notes.
Several sections in one sitting. Bring any numerical, verbal or reasoning question to ReasonEra, and rely on a library for the complete timed rehearsal.
| If you… | Better fit |
|---|---|
| Want to understand abstract, logical or inductive questions quickly and learn the rule | ReasonEra |
| Have an assessment soon and want a short, focused sprint | ReasonEra |
| Want a free try on your own question before paying | ReasonEra |
| Want months of full-length practice at a low annual price | Practice Aptitude Tests |
| Want personality tests and employer-specific full-length tests | Practice Aptitude Tests |
| Want a broad catalogue plus help on tricky reasoning questions | Practice Aptitude Tests, with ReasonEra for the hard reasoning questions |
We built ReasonEra to help people learn how reasoning questions work. Whether outside tools are allowed in a live test is the employer's decision, so check the terms of the one you are sitting.
They do different jobs. Practice Aptitude Tests is a catalogue of full-length practice tests with worked solutions. ReasonEra takes a screenshot or photo of a reasoning puzzle and gives back the answer plus a step-by-step account of the rule. If your practice is mostly about understanding reasoning puzzles, ReasonEra can be enough. If you want a broad catalogue of full tests, Practice Aptitude Tests is built for that.
At the time of writing Practice Aptitude Tests lists a free Basic plan and a Pro plan at £39 a year or £29 a month. ReasonEra costs 49 € for a 14-day pass. For months of practice, an annual plan can cost less; for a short sprint focused on reasoning questions, a 14-day pass may fit better. Prices change, so check both sites.
ReasonEra is not a library of full-length practice tests. It focuses on solving and explaining individual reasoning questions in your browser. Practice Aptitude Tests offers full-length tests, scores and benchmarks.
Yes, ReasonEra works on numerical, verbal and situational judgement questions too, as well as abstract, logical and inductive ones, across 50+ assessments. Practice Aptitude Tests also covers numerical, verbal, spatial and personality tests.
Yes. Many candidates use a catalogue for full-length practice and a tool like ReasonEra to understand individual questions they find hard. Use questions from free samples, official practice items or your own notes.
