Prepterminal. Prepare, practice, execute.
To say that Prepterminal helped me prepare and be ready for the testing phase would be an understatement. At first, looking at the course, I felt overwhelmed with the course material, but the course broke down each subject effectively which made it easier to understand. There were a few issues with some of the audio portion of the testing course, but beyond that, the course was well worth the money.

Question Types and Test Format
The PI Cognitive Assessment has a multiple choice question format, the questions are presented in 11 different formats under 3 key section areas. The assessment is timed – you get 12 minutes to solve 50 questions, which gives you 14.4 seconds average to solve each question. This is quite tricky but when you consider the mix of 11 different formats this becomes very hard to overcome.
Let’s take a look at the test sections to get a better idea of the test:
Verbal Reasoning
The Verbal section of the test consists of 16 questions which falls under 3 sub sections. Verbal reasoning refers to your ability to understand and interpret information expressed through language, both written and verbal. It goes beyond vocabulary or fluency, and judges how well you can engage with the given material and decipher the underlying meaning.
This section tests your linguistic skills, contextual understanding, and ability to rapidly acquire new knowledge and implement it.

Numerical Reasoning
The Numerical section of the test consists of 18 questions which falls under 4 sub sections. The ability to deal with numbers quickly and accurately is a valuable skill in any workplace. And the numerical reasoning section puts this front and center as it is all about comprehending numerical patterns systematically and efficiently.
Your grip over fundamental mathematical concepts, pattern recognition, and logical deduction are put to the test here.

Abstract Reasoning
The Abstract section of the test consists of 16 questions which falls under 4 sub sections. Abstract Reasoning contrasts with the previous two categories in how it tests your logical reasoning ability. It disregards numerical and verbal components, instead focusing on a visual approach consisting of shape and pattern recognition.
This makes abstract reasoning a test of not just your problem-solving, but also your observational ability and critical thinking. This section includes 4 question types:
