An amount of myste ry surrounds general ability testing. This is probably because it is not an actual subject such as Science or Mathematics. General ability testi ng is based upon the student's ability to think and reason, but most of the questions are based on normal classroom subject matter. This practic e book is intended to demystify GA tests, thereby giving the student the confidence to respond positively to the test and maximise his/her score .
