About this projectAssessment Arcade is an independent practice project. The games use original content and simulation settings based on publicly described formats. They are not official assessment items, and this project is not affiliated with Arctic Shores.
Choose a skill you want to practise. Try Tiles for sequence memory, Patterns for visual reasoning or Analysis for numerical questions. Each task has a guide and instructions before you begin.
The tasks include on-screen controls for mouse and touch, alongside keyboard shortcuts where appropriate. Larger screens can make detailed charts and frame-building puzzles easier to read.
No. The task cards show each practice format. Some challenges use response windows or an overall clock; others let you take your time. Read the instructions for the task you choose.
Results belong to the current run in your browser tab. There is no cloud score history. Refreshing or leaving a game restarts it, so review your results before moving on. In-game pause behaviour is explained in each task.
Results describe your choices, accuracy or outcomes within that practice simulation. They are not official scores, employer pass marks or validated personality judgements. Use the reviews to understand the task and its rules.
