Cycling through all six. Tap any point to stop.

Measured on six things

Free timed practice for SHL, numerical, and logical tests...

Growth

A real, specific problem — pre-employment aptitude tests — with publisher-level targeting (SHL Verify G+, CCAT, Watson Glaser) that generic reasoning sites don't match. The $9 SHL pack hints at a freemium path. Domain is 0.1 years old, so this is early context, not a verdict.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Aptitude Test Prep is a young, well-built site that understands its audience better than most prep platforms twice its age. The homepage puts a real timed test in front of you immediately, the 16 guides are indexed by publisher and format rather than generic reasoning categories, and the FAQ answers the exact questions candidates google the night before an SHL. Speed is excellent, security headers are thorough, and automated accessibility is perfect. The problem is depth. Five free questions is a trailer, not a practice session, and the $9 SHL numerical pack is still 'Launching soon' — so the paid product doesn't exist yet. Against JobTestPrep's decades of content and Practice Aptitude Tests' larger free library, this site wins on specificity and loses on volume. It's a promising foundation with a clear point of view, and the next twelve months will decide whether it becomes a real alternative or stays a well-designed landing page.

Measure by measure

Usability

Free five-question timed test with instant scoring is the primary CTA, backed by 16 publisher-indexed guides and an FAQ covering calculator rules, timings and norm-group scoring. The $9 SHL pack is still 'Launching soon', so the paid path is a waitlist, not a product.

Design

Dark, high-contrast hero with a live practice-test widget above the fold and a real chart/countdown mockup. Guide cards share a consistent publisher-tag, date and read-time format. Clean and purposeful, though it leans on one template repeated 16 times.

Speed

Lighthouse desktop 100/100 and mobile 86/100 with CLS 0.001 and TBT 0ms — a genuinely light page. Mobile LCP of 3.6s is the one weak number, sitting above the 2.5s 'good' threshold and dragging the mobile score down.

Security

Strong header hygiene: HTTPS enforced with HSTS, CSP, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy all set — 11 of 12 checklist points. DMARC is the one gap. No SOC 2, ISO or pen-test claim is published, which is normal at this stage.

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility audit scored a perfect 100/100 on automated axe-core checks, and the layout is responsive with readable contrast. No accessibility statement, WCAG conformance claim or multi-language support is published, and the live test widget's keyboard and screen-reader behaviour was not independently verified.

Growth

Improvement areas

Free tier is only five questions — too thin to gauge readiness or build real practice habits
Paid $9 SHL numerical pack is unlaunched, leaving no monetised product available today
No DMARC record, leaving the domain spoofable for phishing against candidates
No accessibility statement, WCAG claim or multi-language support despite international targeting

Design & Usability

The site knows exactly who it's for and doesn't waste a pixel pretending otherwise. The hero drops you straight into a live timed test with a real chart, a 20-minute clock and a 'No going back' rule that mirrors the actual exam pressure — that's a design decision, not decoration. The 16 guides are indexed by publisher and format, each with a read time, and the FAQ answers the questions candidates actually have: can I use a calculator, what's a good score, should I guess. Where it falls short is depth on the free side. Five questions is a demo, not practice, and the $9 SHL numerical pack is still a waitlist. The design is confident; the product behind it is still thin. Score reflects a well-executed shell around a library that's clearly still being written.

Speed & Security

Speed is the standout. Lighthouse desktop 100/100, mobile 86/100, CLS 0.001 and TBT 0ms — this is a genuinely lightweight page, and the only blemish is a 3.6s mobile LCP, likely one unoptimised hero asset. For a site whose users are often on phones between interviews, that matters. Security is solid for the stage: HTTPS enforced, HSTS, CSP, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy all present, 11 of 12 checklist points. The gap is DMARC, which leaves the domain spoofable — worth fixing before you start emailing candidates about a paid pack. No SOC 2 or pen-test claim is published, but that's expected for a product this young and not a mark against it.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility scores a clean 100/100 on Lighthouse's automated axe-core checks, with responsive layout and readable contrast throughout. That's a strong baseline, but automated audits catch maybe a third of WCAG issues — the timed test widget's keyboard flow and screen-reader behaviour under a countdown weren't independently verified, and there's no accessibility statement or WCAG claim published. For a product explicitly targeting international candidates facing English-language tests, the absence of any multi-language support is the more conspicuous gap. Growth is the harder question. The category is crowded — JobTestPrep and Practice Aptitude Tests both have years of content and brand recognition — but this site's wedge is real: publisher-specific guides for SHL Verify G+, inductive, numerical and verbal, with actual formats and timings rather than generic reasoning drills. That specificity is defensible. The limit is depth: five free questions and an unlaunched $9 pack won't hold users who need 40 questions of practice.

Conclusion

If you're staring down an SHL or CCAT in the next few weeks, the guides here are worth your time — the worked examples and format breakdowns are genuinely useful, and the free five-question test will tell you whether you're ready or deluding yourself. Just don't expect it to replace a full practice pack yet. The $9 SHL numerical set is the thing to watch: if it ships with 40 real questions and the same quality of explanation as the guides, this becomes a serious budget alternative to JobTestPrep. Until then, treat it as a strong free resource with a paid product still in the oven. Bookmark it, do the five questions, read the guide for your specific test, and check back when the pack launches.

Suggestions for improvement

Expand the free test from five questions to at least 15-20 so users can actually gauge their readiness before hitting a paywall.
Ship the $9 SHL numerical pack — a 'Launching soon' waitlist converts far worse than a buy button.
Add DMARC to the DNS records; the domain is currently spoofable, which matters once you email candidates.
Publish an accessibility statement and test the timed widget with a screen reader and keyboard-only navigation.
