Original practice bank · All explanations and revision guides free
Practise 30 original school and everyday scenarios on problem steps, decisions and review. Free answers and three full guides. No grade prediction.
30 questions · about 15 minutes · no signup
Choose one answer per case using its stated goal, rule, model and exclusions. Three groups of ten are interleaved. Complete all 30 to see every key, explanation and full guide. Amounts and records are fictional. There is no timer; 15 minutes is a rough planning estimate, not measured performance. For unaided practice, leave calculators and references until afterwards. Do not enter real pupil records or change a school process to answer this test.

All questions and full results are free, with no signup. Saving is optional; only saved attempts can be resumed after a refresh or language change. Tab drafts expire after 24 hours and clear on completion or retake.
Work through 30 independently written school and everyday situations: problem-solving steps, decision tools, and review and learning, ten each. The items ask you to use explicit criteria, check a claim or calculate stated quantities. A key applies to that limited case; it does not define the universally best response to an open real-life problem. Every correct count opens all 30 explanations and three complete eight-section guides. Educational source concepts provide background, without copying published scenarios or claiming official standards attainment. This fixed, untimed practice has no IQ conversion, population norms, grade prediction, clinical interpretation or validated English–Chinese score equivalence.
Each keyed choice contributes one correct answer and another valid choice contributes zero. The three ten-item groups add to a total out of 30. There is no weighting, speed bonus or reversed agreement scale. Missing or invalid choices are not filled in; all tasks need valid answers before a complete result appears.
A count of 7/10 describes seven matching choices on ten selected tasks. It cannot identify one cause of an error or measure an entire problem-solving process. Zero, partial and perfect attempts show all keys, explanations and all three full guides. Public guides contain general methods and examples without a visitor’s responses or private count.
The fictional school-style tasks do not establish age norms, a grade-level diagnosis, curriculum mastery, a learning difficulty or a hiring qualification. Curriculum standards describe topics and activities, not proof that this bank measures them validly. Recognizing a response in a multiple-choice case is different from conducting a real investigation. Retake uses the same bank, so higher counts after seeing answers may reflect memory.
Every section has a public revision guide. Completing the practice shows every guide and item explanation without assigning a type by score. Public guides contain no personal responses or counts; studying before practice is welcome. This is not a secure exam.
Work through problem definitions, evidence, alternatives, implementation and review. Ten practice answers do not measure a student’s general ability.
Compare limits, weighted rules, evidence and alternative explanations. The ten tasks practise stated decisions, not universal best life choices.
Review trial records, rubrics, rates, counterexamples and new conditions. Correct counts do not predict grades or certify real-world transfer.
Correct counts for 30 original fictional cases, split across three ten-item groups, with every explanation and three complete guides. It does not assign a student ability tier, population percentile, IQ, predicted grade or diagnosis.
No. Selected curriculum topics provide background only. This is independently authored practice with no official standards-achievement claim, licensed question-bank adaptation, provider endorsement or score conversion.
Each item fixes a goal, record, rule or model, such as checking two required conditions or comparing quantities over the same period. The key follows that stated task, not a universal judgment about how a person should live or how every open problem should be solved.
The author checked the bilingual cases against their stated rules. Calculations and comparisons are recomputed from supplied values; the counterexample task checks all 128 possibilities for its seven unknown cases. These checks do not independently validate language interpretation, real investigations, grade improvement or educational effectiveness.
All 30 keys and explanations and three complete guides are free without account, email or payment. There is no timer; 15 minutes is a rough planning estimate. Retake uses the same original bank, not a new calibrated or age-normed form.
Answers remain in the browser. Optional tab drafts expire after 24 hours and clear on completion, exit-and-clear or retake. Without a draft, refresh loses progress. Sharing copies a public test link without answers, correct counts or private identifiers. Use fictional examples rather than real pupil records.
FermatMind wrote the scenarios, quantities, alternatives, explanations and guides. Arizona eCTE problem-solving topics provide background, not endorsement or official assessment alignment. No published question bank, government worksheet, textbook scenario or licensed CCTST, Watson-Glaser or TSA item is reproduced or adapted. Checks recompute declared criteria, sequences, constraints, arithmetic and finite counterexamples; the author reviewed the bilingual meanings. This is not independent teacher or language review, educational-effectiveness research or psychometric validation.
These sources provide background, not validation of this questionnaire or an individual diagnosis.
