What does it test?

CritPt (no tools) measures hard reasoning in science, technology, engineering and math. In detail, it checks:

  • graduate- and expert-level questions in science and math
  • multi-step derivations where each step must be correct
  • problems written to defeat memorisation (novel or recent exam problems)
  • correct use of formulas, units and logical inference

How to read the score

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.
