What? General Ability testing may be referred to as the General Aptitude testing or IQ (Intelligence Quotient) testing. They all refer to much the same thing.
Purpose? An amount of mystery surrounds General Ability testing. This is probably because it is not an actual subject such as Science or Mathematics. General Ability testing is based upon the student’s ability to think and reason, but most of the questions are based on normal classroom subject matter.
These practice books are intended to demystify GA test, thereby giving the student the confidence to respond positively to the test and maximise his/her score.
GA tests can either be individual, small group or class/grade tests. Individual tests are the most accurate and can involve oral questions and answers. Written tests are used for larger groups. These are often multiple-choice tests , which allow for electronic marking.
Just as Numeracy and Literacy tests have a variety of question types, so do GA tests.
