The battery

27 tests covering the full published format of the CBAT-style battery. Every one has a free version, and Premium gives fresh questions every run. Every test opens with two untimed worked examples before the clock starts.

Two days, four sittings

Or sit all 27 back to back, across two days

One at a time tells you what you can do fresh. The battery tells you what you can still do at test twenty, which is most of what the day measures.
