The course was structured very well. It was quick and did not drag or feel boring. The instructor was very helpful and the mock tests and practice quiz improved my score a lot! I would highly recommend. Worth every $.
A very apt and good course to prepare for PI at a reasonable cost. The mock tests are nicely and carefully formulated with the required level of difficulty. It helped me clear the actual exam with a score of 35.
Thank you Gideon!
I certainly recommend this course to those preparing for cognitive test. Good luck!
Gideon,
I don’t even know where to begin to saying thank you. I got an AMAZING job I even did a case study for and went through 3 interviews so far. I would’ve failed this test so horribly if it weren’t for you. Now I am Global Product Catergory Manager for a global leader.
What helped were not just the content of what to do and how to solve it but most of all the mock exams to know that time is the worst enemy here. Plus that your exams were harder than the actual one was.
I passed with flying colors and am as happy as I can be. I couldn’t have spend my money wiser.
Gideon – you are a blessing! And your calm nature, also after the mock exams, always helped me to not give up hope but continue focussing on the problems.
Thank you and everyone else – good luck with the test! With this prep you basically cannot fail 🙂
A good solid walkthrough of the test design and its various elements. I am a member of Mensa and quite used to different cognitive tests, but the time limit on this test is unique and very scary. Without question most valuable for me with this course was the practice tests and getting a feel for how much time you can spend and still manage to see all questions.
In theory 15 seconds per question, but how long is that when you do the test, in reality? Turns out it is a very short time indeed. So, strategies for what questions to skip, and getting an intuitive feeling for when to “Nahh.. I’ll skip this one”, or to “Ok, I’ll do this one”. Invaluable training with the practice tests.
Scored between 27 and 33 on the practice tests, and a solid 36 on the real one after training and when using my native language.
Absolutely fantastic preparation course! Definitely worth the money. Its very important to train these tests before because you really improve your score a lot. I, for example, improved my score by 8 points! You will get a great feeling for the types of questions, what you are good at, what you are not good at and should thus skip. Really – do it!
Great value and excellent course to help a person prepare for these types of tests. Assists in a major way in preparing you to approach the test strategically to maximize your chances of scoring higher than you otherwise would. Kudos to Gideon and his team.
Great prep!
I bought this course after taking the free lessons from Gideon. It was a life saver! I got the offer immediately . Only had 24 hours to prepare for the test but trust me when this course really helped! Don’t think, just go for it
Hands down the best value and regardless of the price probably the best option out there. Exactly what I needed with only 1 day to take the test. This was well laid out, easy to understand and provides the opportunity to get the needed practice in. Like Gideon says watch your time and be sure to answer all the questions and learn what questions you are best off on guessing at.
Highly recommended.
Money well spent.
Material is well prepared: the extra links in the courses’s pdf are very helpful too(for example the assumptions/conclusions aristotle rules helped me in a great deal)
Tips and tricks to maxmize the score/speed are really good. Instructions are clear.
I have finished all 3 mock tests round 1, and plan to do 2nd round for at least 1-2 of the tests before reading the answers, as I still have problems of skipping questions, but each mock test is getting better in skipping, and the score is getting better too.
Will do my real test on in 2 days, so plan to get the #4 test on the day before, just to sharpen it up a bit more.
I wish you all do well in the test.
the actual test was simpler, and I got to answer all 50 questions first time :), still had 1 minute left in the end. but I did not have time to find the one skipped and answer in proper way.
overall I am quite happy, the course definitely helped.
I have done several behavioral assessments in the past but never a cognitive test. I had 48 hours to get some pro=ep on what to expect. This 12minprep course was exactly what I needed. It over prepared me and for good reason. I believe that if I hadn’t taken this course, and just went into the test blindly, hoping that I can just pass, I would have failed! This not only prepared me for the exact way the test would be presented, but more importantly, the tips on which questions to answer and what to skip were invaluable in the real test environment. I did well above the average and I am moving on in the hiring process! Lastly, Gideon was very easy to listen to and his explanations were thorough. I highly recommend this for a fast prep course! Money well spent!
Great course even if you only have 1-2 days before your test. Recommend to go through on the lessons first and only do the tests afterwards. The difficulty of the tests also reflects reality (or maybe a bit above what they ask on the actual test).
I also recommend it if you are not a native English speaker and plan to do the test in your mother tongue. It helped me a lot to practice the timing and the questions overall (learn what to skip, what to answer, how to go through on all 50 questions in 12 min) and I scored even more on the real test because I did it in my native language as Gideon suggested. Thank you for this great course!
Great course. Thanks Gideon for a fast support when needed, with detailed attentions for any of my Q or requests.
The real test was easier than the quizes, but overall the practice served me well.
I suggest to add graphic explanations to the matrices, shapes series and so on. This way, going through the answers is easier and faster to some of us. Thanks 🙂
A fantastic course. Well structured. Happy to have found you guys.
Excellent course providing insight and necessary practice! Highly recommended! Thank you!
I was one of those individuals who had talked to a recruiter about a position that I dearly desired, and was then surprised with the “oh, by the way, please take this cognitive and behavioral test before we can proceed”. Like many others who have been in this situation, it was a mad scramble on my part to figure out what exactly these tests were all about. Thankfully, I stumbled across this site, and learned a great deal along the way. While the topics in the tests themselves are not terribly difficult, the tactics surrounding them ARE.
I do not know what my final score was, nor do I know if I will get the next interview as it is still early in the process, but I feel like I would not have even stood a chance going blindly into those tests without the guidance I received here. Thank you Gideon for creating this course and providing the insight that I needed to make it through those tests!
Definitely worth the investment. Excellent advice on overall strategies, ways to solve different types of questions and lots of practice questions. Thanks for a great course.
Amazing, I passed the crossover CCAT and PICA excellent and went to the next stage of tests. It helps that your course is a bit difficult than theirs because their test was just easy for me. Thanks!!!! Totally worth the money
This course has been extremely helpful and I know that I have really maximised my scoring potential. It has helped me to be able to quickly identify common processes, operations, refresh/reactivate my knowledge of some important aspects. Most importantly, it has helped me to be aware of my weaknesses and strengths, which in turn are absolutely crucial for time management during the test. To summarise: due to this course I was able to answer questions much faster and more correct, quickly decide which questions to skip and I completed my PI test just within the 12 minutes. I have not received my score yet but I just know I did well. I’m not even nervous about the result. Thank you Gideon!
Thanks Gideon! I did very well on the actual PI test!
Very much worth the time and money. I never would have been prepared to take a test that requires 14 sec per an answer without an adequate preparation tool. This prep course delivered.
This course certainly assisted me in being more successful. Enjoyed it very much so thank you Gideon.
This type of test indeed, needs preparation. Great simple, and concise course. Absolutely worth it.
What could make it a bit more complex, in my opinion, is to build an analysis based on the attempted score, to hghlight the areas of strengths that are consistently show (as taking the quizes after each other, giving different scores). And also, some tests were heavier on word vocabulary while others heavier on word assumptions, which are also giving different results – I would like to know perhaps how the different sections within the real PI tests weigh (i.e. each 9 categories equally, or some are weighing more, in terms of the number of questions?)
Other than this, this is a great course. I also like the calm and articulated manner Gideon speaks, it is easy to follow and digest, as he is also bullet pointed and straight to the point.
Took this prep course only days before having to take the exam as part of a required hiring process. Well worth the spend and will undoubtedly make a difference for you.
This course was great! It’s honestly worth much more than it costs. Think about the potential impact of getting a new job because you performed so well. Money very well spent. I had never taken an exam like this before. I only scored 15 points the first time I took the practice exam. After the course I took the real test for a job application and scored 38 points! I guarantee that after taking this course, the real exam will be VERY familiar to you. You may be nervous at first, but after the first few questions you will see that you were very well prepared because of this course and your confidence will suddenly skyrocket. Very highly recommended!
This course was excellent! I only had 2 days to prepare for the PI Cognitive Assessment, and this course was a lifesaver. When I took the small practice test included in the course, I didn’t come close to finishing. The strategies and full practice tests made all the difference, and I scored 34/50 on the actual test — 94th percentile! This course is definitely worth the money!
Worth the money.
Do not hesitate to take this class if you have to complete The Predictive Index® Cognitive Assessment. At a minimum, you need to be familiar with question types and brush up on how to approach each type of question in 15 seconds or less. This course will get you there! And be sure to do the coaching session with Gideon. He really helped me come up with a strategy for the 12 minute test.
Best things I learned in this course:
* How to get to all the questions. I learned to watch my time and make sure I looked at all 50 questions to maximize my potential.
* How to avoid time traps. Too many words? Too many complex operations? Guess and move on.
* How to guess and move on. Look… driven people hate to give up. You gotta learn when to fold ’em.
* Maths. I’m a Creative with a calculator and spreadsheets at my fingertips. Memorized fractions take up valuable brain space I could be using for other genius ideas. But a few hours of review helped me identify the lowest number in a series with confidence.
* Shapes analogies and series – I really caught on to how those puzzles work and how to solve them quickly.
And honestly – if you have to get past this test for the next step in your career… a small investment in yourself is totally worth it.
Thank you so much for this course! The real test seemed so easy after completing this. 🙂
Helped me understand what was needed to reach a high score on the real test, and prepared me for handling the time stress.
Worth every penny…Do not hesitate and waste time, chose this course!
I had only 3 days to prepare for the PI and i needed all the help i could get… i looked at several online courses and chose 12 minprep as it was the most comprehensive option. I do not regret it. Gideon was very responsive during my weekend prep time. Not only was I happy with my results but my prospective employer told me that I “nailed it”, that my results were outstanding….
This is a great test prep! I bought a much more expensive one first, which wasn’t nearly as good. This test prep is concise and matches the actual exam really well. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their score.
I partially forgot the rule of not getting hooked in to 1 questions and didn’t skip as much as I should have when I did the test. However paying the $29 for the course (explanations, practice versions different topics and then 3 tests) was completely worth it. I am not please that I forgot my target however I know I would have done worse had I not practiced using this course.
In the grand scheme it is beneficial doing the course. As it is an investment to the interview.
Happy I paid for the course.
By my final practice test I scored a 36 (having guessed on probably 8-10 of them) which I think is 96th percentile. I just took the actual test and I only outright guessed on one problem, and I think I finished with maybe 45 seconds to spare and even went back to that problem to see if I could get it. I would be upset if it’s not a 41+ score (unfortunately it wasn’t disclosed upon completion).
The course tests here are a lot harder which really really helped train me for the real thing. There’s some typos here and there on the course and when reviewing answers (especially in comparative figures or antonyms) I could find some logic holes which really frustrated me if I had gotten it wrong, but at the end of the day this was a great spend in order to be in the most optimal position to take the test. 5/5
Very good course, I had less than 72 hours to prepare for this test and I found the course incredibly helpful. Hopefully I nailed it!!
Very helpful in building skills and confidence. Thanks Gideon!
I have been an anxious test taker my entire life. Now that I am 40 and have been at the same job for 10 years, I was terrified to miss an opportunity just because I wasn’t prepared for a cognitive ability test, knowing that I was qualified for the position. Very thankful for Gideon, he even personally called me when I had a question. I just took my test this morning and I can guarantee that if I am not offered the position, it is because of something else entirely. Thank you so much Gideon! Excellent job!
good course, a bit harder than the actual test, but gives you that confidence to breeze through the test. listen to all his videos to have a good score
My first attempt at the practice test resulted in 13/50. My last mock test before taking the real one from this course was 26/50. +13 points! I spent about 5 hours total studying. I passed the cognitive with the company I interviewed with, but no results to share they keep it a secret. This course is great for getting familiar with the test and understanding the strategy involved with passing it. Having access to the mock tests are extremely valuable. Couldn’t imagine taking it without this to prepare first. 13/50 is not very competitive.
Love it and Thanks so much to Gideon. The whole set of training is very useful and highly recommended to take it. It is very valuable for money and intensity and comprehensive materials is provided. Most importance is build up confident level to deal with the test. Mock test difficulty level is harder than the real test. I am surprise I have much time left over to deal with my focus question. It is very very much difference when I choose mother tongue language, I can deal with all verbal reasoning question with confidence. Tips and strategy also very importance. Clear my mind to deal with all questions with very limited time. Starting to like it and like to do such quizzes too. Thanks so much. MUST take this course.
Very good help. Thanks a lot!
This was a great course! Like many people I received an email from a prospective employer with a link to take the PI Cognitive Assessment. Having never heard of it I promptly panicked! Thank heaven a Google search brought me to this course. It helped me refresh long-unused skills and gave me new tips and tricks. I definitely recommend buying the additional coaching calls – well worth it. Gideon was fantastic,and after the coaching calls he was always just one email away if I needed help. He was candid about my strengths and weaknesses and help me with effective strategies for approaching this test. He was encouraging and definitely gave a whole new meaning to that old adage “keep calm and carry on”. Fantastic course and instructor!
Recommended to all fresh graduates out there! I passed the test with less than 5 days of preparation
RECOMMENDED! FYI I passed the test with less than 5 days of preparation😭 Thank you
I had seven days until the actual test (online) and thus enough time I thought. I did an online free version and scored 14 points (check the “PI Cognitive Assessment Interview Tips” to see what that score means)! When I purchased Gideon’s material, I had four days left until the actual test and thus still enough time I reckoned (I admit, I procrastinated). I started seriously practising only fewer than 24 hours (~18hrs) prior to the actual test. I simply followed the tutorials (especially in case you have fewer than 24 hours left until the actual test), believed in Gideon’s words, and focused on my strengths. The mock tests are in English, my test would be in German (my mother tongue) – see what Gideon says about practicing in a second language and taking the test in your mother tongue, it holds absolutely true. Unfortunately, I haven’t become Einstein over night and yet I answered 34 questions and scored 29 points (check the “PI Cognitive Assessment Interview Tips” what that score means)! The hiring managers said that score is above average compared to what other applicants scored on average (unfortunately the decision to hire does not only depend on that test). In sum, the test is not about intelligence, it’s about tactics and strategy as well as becoming convenient with how the test proceeds – thus no rocket science at all. Just be quick, make sure to read through all 50 questions to increase your score, and follow Gideon’ s advice!
Things I did differently to what Gideons says:
I did not do educated guesses as they still take time. That is, the time to read the question (at least in case of word problems which I skipped altogether in favour of all other questions related to verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning) and the time to make a choice. That is valuable time you preferably want to spend on your true strengths. Even when preparing only fewer than 24 hours prior to the actual test, you will understand the scheme of the questions. I skipped all word problems and focused on the other components of the test as I didn’t have to read the questions related to them because I knew them by seeing the pictures, e.g. when it comes to order between fractions and decimals, the test would always ask for the lowest and not the biggest value, thus it was enough for me to see fractions and decimals to know what to do. Admittedly, that is not intelligence, it’s simply a way of saving time and scoring high.
Things I would recommend to change in the mock tests:
Though Gideon says in one of the tutorials that the time clock in the actual test doesn’t show seconds (which is true) there is one tiny little difference I would change: In the mock tests provided here the time clock follows when you scroll up and down. It didn’t do that when I took the test (in Germany in German in August 2020). That meant I always had to scroll up to see the time I had left. This again takes time, admittedly not much but I would still embed this fact in the mock tests provided here for practising reasons.
Taken together, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this course as without it I wouldn’t have scored 29 points! And sorry for any spelling mistakes I might have made in this review!;)
Stay healthy
I just had 24 hours to prepare with no idea about the PI test before. Thanks to this course I aced 33 points (93 percentile). It helps us to identify our strong and weak points and helps build a strategy to approach the different question types. The mock tests in this course were totally helpful and repeating them helped me to gain confidence to finish the test within the time limit. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone and it is worth the money.
Gideon, thanks a lot the course was perfect for my preparation. I had a lot of fun taking it too! A bit of brain exercise didn’t hurt 😀
Perfectly put together , the right tips to help us succeed. I improved a lot and the real test was much easier so no doubt I did well. They don’t share the results but was told I am going to the next step in the interviewing process.
I knew nothing of the Predictive Index Cognitive or Behavioral Assessments until I had a second interview scheduled for a position I was pursuing with a potential new employer. I had that feeling in my gut that I should research the company (predictive index) before jumping right into the assessments. 12 minute prep gave me the confidence and strategies to successfully get to the next level of the interview process. I don’t feel that would have been the case without the training and preparation.
Outstanding prep. I highly recommend this prep!!
I am so glad that I took this course. Going through this honed my skills on HOW to take the test and to focus on the most important skills while moving past the ones that are not my strength. Easily got to 50 on the real test with a little time to spare. You are correct, the real test was much easier than the mock tests in your course- great preparation and thanks so much. I wish I knew the score on the real test though, it did not come through after completing it.
I only had 48 hours to prepare for the PI Cognitive assessment and went for $29 prep course. In the beginning I scored in the 40th percentile but after doing the course and focus on the 4 tests at the end, with main focus on completing all 50 questions each time I saw great improvement. I just got my test results from the Company were I was being interviewed for job and the score was in 80th percentile .
I am quite happy with this, given my age, I am 61.
BWT, I did get the job as well 😉
Thanks Gideon, this was definitely worth it.
Very helpful! Well worth the few bucks to help prepare. I ended up passing my pre-employment test the first time thanks to the content offered here and being able to run through the 4 practice tests. The real test I took was very similar to this and actually a little easier so this prepared me well for it.
I think the course was worth the money. It was great practice.
This is a GREAT course. I was a bit intimated by a high-stakes timed cognitive pre-employment test. I spent three days going through the course and then took the real test. On the practice tests, I was scoring about 19 to 30 out of 50 and struggling to get to question #38. On the real test, I answered 49 questions and I scored in the 94th percentile. There is no way I could have achieved a score like that had I not taken the course!
I am SO glad I found this course. Gideon, you are a test prep savant. I was able to go from 19 (first sample test with ZERO experience) to getting a 30 on my real exam (88th percentile!)
My recruiter was really impressed and I wouldn’t have been able to make such an improvement without this exam. Highly recommended!
This is an excellent preparatory course and definitely worth the small fee ($29.99). I started with the gratis introductory course on the weekend and then purchased the more extensive course and completed the entire course and 3 tests all on Monday. I saved the bonus test for the Tuesday morning (day of the test) to get me warmed up for the writing of the actual test online. It is almost identical to the tests in the prep course except that the answers you click on appear on the side to confirm your choice. Gideon’s advice about prioritizing your questions based on your strengths is crucial. In retrospect, the actual test did seem slightly easier, but the time flew by so quickly that I did not know how many questions I actually answered! I just got my results from the HR person and I answered 44/50 questions with a score of 26 which put me in the 74 percentile! I was amazed because the highest score on the practice tests was only a 19. THANK YOU, I am so grateful for this course… I could not have received this result without this preparation. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!
I am so glad I found this course. I had never taken a cognitive aptitude test as part of the interview process for a perspective job so I had no idea what to expect. I found the free practice test, took it, and quickly realized I have not done fractions, percentages, algebra, etc. since college. I spent 3 days going through the modules, quizzes and practice exams. The real test was easier than the course test which was awesome. I heard back from the recruiter within 3 hours asking for an interview. One step closer to my dream job!! Thank you, Gideon!
I do not normally leave reviews for a lot of services/products that I use in my day to day life because I found it a hassle. However, 12minprep made such a huge positive impact that I felt like I must leave a review.
The questions in the real test are indeed easier, and do not be disheartened if you cant seem to do well on the tests in this course. I did the actual PI test just now, and I got to question 49 out of 50 (I saw that the timer has 30 seconds left for 2 questions and I got a bit carried away with the calculation, before I realized, the test ended right after I click on the answer for qn 49). That is how tight the timing is for taking PI test, and without practicing multiple times on this website, I wouldnt have learnt and got used to moving quickly through the questions. At some point while doing the assessments on this website, I have decided to stop calculating the math questions, because i figured out that instead of spending 20-30 seconds to get to the exact answer, I would rather have a quick guesstimate, pick an option within 10 seconds and move on such that I get to see 2-3 more questions within the same time spent. Some of the questions in the PI test are really easy, and its a matter picking the answer in 2-3 seconds. These are the questions you cannot miss. If you are fixated with answering a particular question and end up spending 30 seconds on it, one question might seem fine, but if you do that repeatedly for several questions, you will almost certainly not get to the 50th question, and the worst thing you want is to leave 10 to 20 questions on the table of which perhaps 5 of them are just straight forward number series or word analogies that could have been easily solved.
I am really glad I found 12minprep and from the bottom of my heart, thank you Gideon!
I really appreciate the course as it helped me a lot. I score less than 10 in my first attempt but in real test it is 26/40. I still not able to finish all Q but To reach 40 already break my record. I was told by HR I am already average high compare to others. I don think I am smarter but I am sure prepared in advance help a lot.
I am quiet hesitant to take my own language as the practice test and I hardly read article or books in my own language . Even I do still speak a lot my own language at home. But I still listen to your advise and I think indeed it help me to process fast !
I went to see a few website before sign up your lession. For the prices you quote and also the tips I gain. It is definitely worth the money!
Thanks for the great job! I really appreciate a lot.
Great practice tests to get ready for the real one. I also used Job Flare both we’re good to get my mind and strategy together.
This course was very helpful for reviewing the rigors of this exam. Especially when one has not taken this course in quite some time.
JUST BUY THIS ONE!!
I spent two hours looking at the different PI test training sites.I should have just bought this one and used those two hours to prepare. I only had 1.5 days to take the test and this course was perfect for it. some of the other course have more stuff but its too much – this is sharp, concise and helpful.
I blitzed the areas i was weak and it made me realise that I should not even try the shape common features – i just guessed those.
I havent got my result yet but I did all 50 questions and they were much easier than the practice ones. Train hard fight easy indeed!
Thanks for putting this content together. Would highly recommend.
The mock tests are great and 4 is plenty to get practi e
Really helped me to get into the right mindset. Hopefully one step closer to my dream job. Felt like I aced that test thanks to this prep!
I had a weekend to prepare for a test. In my first full-length mock test I only got 18 answers correct. After taking this course over the weekend (spending around 4-5 hours) I took the real test and got 30 correct answers. I highly recommend taking this course before a test!
I am so glad that I took this course – it was worth each penny and best value for money!
At my first attempt with a free mock test I got 13 correct answers which I knew wasn’t a great result. After taking the course and then the real test with my potential employer, I got 29 correct answers out of 40 questions answered. I think it is a good result in 12 min. English is not my first language therefore I followed Gideon’s advice and took the test in my own language. It definitely helped me personally with the vocabulary type questions and the word analogies. Also, the real test was a little bit easier – exactly as Gideon was saying. So I urge everyone to follow all of his recommendations and tips. He was totally right about maximising your potential. Obviously, it’s not about learning maths, etc. in a week or so. It’s about how to apply the basic maths and use it quickly enough to solve the problems.
I want to thank Gideon for his work, time and effort in putting this test together! Very well done! Please keep it up!
And to whoever is reading this – if you are hesitating (like I was initially), then don’t. The price of the course is affordable to most of us (in my opinion). You are not going to lose a lot. In fact, you are only going to gain.
Good luck!
I invested in the course a couple of days before my job assessment. Excellent presentation and content meant I gave me very best and completed all 50 with time to spare. Gideon presents in a very clear and concise way and had a major impact on my test performance. An essential and a critical investment to maximise your score. Many thanks.
I was given a 48 hours notice before taking the test. This course really was what I need : it gave me the tools, strategies and feeling of being well prepared that were required to ace the test.
After doing quite well on the mock tests (26 right answers) I killed it on the real one (39 right answers).
Excellent value!
This course gave me great confidence in the PLI test. It made me challenge myself within areas I didn’t think I could solve without a calculator. Furthermore, Gideons videos are pleasant, precise and right to the point – so no time is wasted 🙂
I haven’t got the test results yet, but I am pretty sure that the results are much better than they would have been without this course.
Great prep course! I took the course prior to taking the real test as part of a recruitment process for a job that I had applied for, and it really helped me to be fully prepared for the test. Knowing and understanding the different types of questions in the test, and learning about strategies for solving each question helped me to maximize my score potential. I was able to get 44 out of 50 correct answers on the real test, so I really think the preparation course helped me to get a great result. In the full tests on this course, I only got around 30 correct answers, but I took the real test in my native language, so it was a lot easier. However, being able to prepare each question type and practicing the different strategies saved me a lot of time on the real test.
Therefore, I can highly recommend taking this course prior to the real test! Good luck everyone.
I need to express sincere gratidute to Gideon for this amazing sourse of preparation materials. It’s amazing! First of all, I would say that Introductory Course available to everybody for free is already sufficient support and help in preparation for the real assessment. It contains a lot of useful links and additional resourses for those who have time and desire to go deeper in mastering each type of task indivisually. But in case you’re limited with time than taking up full Preparation Course will give you even more tips, more sample questions, 3 real like mock tests to get used to the format of 50 questions in 12 minutes – all this eventually will give you more confidence when it comes to the real test. And the price for the course from my point of view is scarcely fare reward for the amount of work done by Gideon. Second, I completely agree with what Gideon said about passing the real test in native language. Indeed on my real test which I deed in Russian I got 10 points more than on my best result from the mock tests while passing this course. And last, I was suprisingly pleased to see in my real test several questions which were very similar to questions from official PI Cognitive Test sample questions. One question (form analogues) was even exactly the same. Two word problems were same formulated with only the numbers different. Same patterns were used for few numbers sequences tasks. I mean it all helped! This test can be trained the better the more time you have at your disposal for this training. And the more the test results mean for you the more efforts you should better put into it. We might all have a huge advantage. Make use of it! And many many many thanks to Gideon! And best wishes and good luck for everybody!!!
Thank you Gideon, you are amazing. I had to take the PI Cognitive test on short notice. Having left school more than 2 decades back, taking an assessment like this for a senior role is an alien and scary experience. This course gave the best level of confidence and tactics I could hope for in 24 hours. Money well spent. Your generosity and sincerity with the free materials is altruistic!
I would highly recommend this course! I bought the full course on Sunday morning and took the actual test on Sunday evening. My score increased from around the 60th percentile on the first mock test to the 90th percentile on the real test. It’s all about the technique and discipline, which Gideon explains very well. Do all the sample questions and mock tests, because the real test is very similar. I didn’t get a chance to engage Gideon on the 1:1 tutoring, but I am sure that would have been a bonus. If you are deliberating on whether to spend the time and money, I would recommend that you take the free course to assess the value which would probably lead you to doing the full course. Doing anything less will place you at a disadvantage against your peers and competition.
Thanks for the education and insights on a Sunday afternoon!
I was given 3 days to complete the PI Cognitive Assessment… and didn’t start preparing until the last 24 hrs (too busy at work!). This course helped a lot. It allowed me to understand the questions, do some proactive (although I had to rush it) and do the example tests. I did assist in making me familiar with the questions, with the time pressure and work out a strategy. $29 were well spent.
Like many others i only had 2 days, and even if i don’t know how much i had, I’m going to the interview next week so i assumes i passed.
The 13sec prep is a good preparation fir the cognitive assessment test. The questions are similar to the real test and it let you prepare to be in known territory.
Quality/price is excellent as itbcost twice less than otjets tests on the web.
I only had one day before I had to complete the PLI for real. I was a bit lost an knew that I would struggle to complete all the questions in such a short time. the advice on this course calmed me down a bit and then being able to practice (I manage 6 times), under the same conditions was magic. I found that I could answer all the questions in the practice and improve my score each time. Just too the real test and feel reasonably confident of a good score, however bit miffed that I only answered 49 before the time ran out! I would fully recommend this to anyone taking a PLI
I took the assessment. Thanks to the prep course, I felt confident and prepared. I didn’t have much time to prep for the actual assessment so I had to move through the material faster than I’d like. The tips before taking the mock tests was very, very helpful. Money well spent.
This is an amazing course. Gideon is sincere, available, and helpful, while the course does everything in its power to make sure the candidates are well prepared. 10/10 would recommend
Terrific course and well worth the price. I was skeptical at first but I cannot imagine getting through these actual 12 minutes without the perspective and practice this simple course provides. Although I had very little prep time available before taking the real assessment, investing here gave me focus and calm familiarity, allowing me to get to Q50 strategically. Also, Gideon is very accessible and responsive, and a great teacher. Go for it!
5-STARS ALL THE WAY IT COULD EASILY BE 6 OR 7 STARS! I SIMPLY CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS COURSE HIGHLY ENOUGH! I agree with every word that has already been written above – particularly pertinent for me and similar experience is the review by TICOTHEPS above and by many others. My experience was that I was terrible to begin with, particularly my weakness was timing! I simply could not get my brain around skipping questions to focus on the ones I found easier — but you SIMPLY have to do that. I still didn’t quite master than in the real test only answering 32 out of 50 which might still seem terribly low to some of you, but rest assured my accuracy was very high thanks to Gideon and the course, and all his EXTRA help. I simply couldn’t have done this without him, suffice to say I got an interview and my score hit the 80th percentile. Probably the best value for money I’ve EVER spent on the internet, as the difference between not passing it (very easy to do without clear focus and clear guidance) and passing it (with the help of THIS course and Gideon’s amazingly kind and focussed approach) is actually worth a huge amount more. I feel very privileged to have gone through this and feel ready now if this kind of assessment crops up again in the future (which it will!) Thank you Gideon for an incredible course.
This course from Gideon is a must for anyone taking a PI Cognitive Assessment. I have been asked to complete a test twice in 2019 by 2 different companies (based on Maersk testing) and without this course, I would not have been able to maximise my results. Go through it thoroughly, listen and absorb all of the videos. I hate these 12 minutes timed tests and they create a negative mindset for me, however, this course puts you in the “right place” to take the test. I have seen the real actual reports/results and they are very accurate in representing where I am. Without this course, I would not have scored so highly and then not shown the employers the real me. Thank you Gideon.
As with many others leaving reviews, I had 1 day to prepare for the real test and my improvement over the 3 mock tests was dramatic from below to above average. The final real result had me scoring “better than 88% of the global population of adults…..”
The course is incredibly valuable and the mock tests were essential in allowing you to develop a strategy to score well on the real test. The best resource on the web to pass the PI test and great value for money. Thank you Gideon
Very well structured and very good questions as well the mock tests. The added difficulty helps during the real test. Good to refresh. Was not fully sure if I wanted to take the paid package but then it was totally worth it. Thank you Gideon.
An absolute must! This is the best preparatory coaching I have come across. Very high quality study material, mock tests and specially Gideon’s one on one consultation is something that makes it a class apart. Gideon is a very good coach and quickly gets to know students’ potential. He spoke about my strong areas and how can I make most of it in the tests. He guided me through my weak areas. I really appreciate how sincerely he wants his students to succeed and does all he can for us to improve our score! Thank you very much Gideon. Really appreciate your help and coaching!
I highly recommend this program. Gideon’s coaching is the part that puts this program in a class of its own. I scored much higher than I could have on my own. I started at an 18 and Gideon said that I could get a 30! I did not believe him but he was right, I got a 32 the real test. This moved me forward in the application process and gave me confidence in the interview process. Plus I only had 2 days’ notice about the need to take the PI Cognitive test. I enjoyed the process and was very pleased with the results. I looked at other programs but this is by far the best.
I had one day to prepare and purchased three test prep practice courses. 12minprep was the closest to the real test. I had not taken a test anything similar to this in 30+ years—as Gideon tells you, you need a strategy and need practice on the time constraints. I don’t know how I did, but I’m sure better than if I had not taken this course. If you have a while to prepare, use that time to do so.
I highly recommend this course for folks who plan to take the PI Cognitive test. Gideon’s course material and practice exams are very helpful and definitely will have a positive impact on your score. The overall practice tests are somewhat more difficult that the actual test which is a good way to prepare for the test.
The material and the mock exam tests provided very useful insights and tools in preparing for the real PI cognitive assessment, with a good head start and ample time for preparation , one should be able to do well.
Another plus ,Gideon is very helpful and goes out of he’s way to offer support . I had initial issues logging into the course and on reaching out he walked me through and offered tips on how best to tackle the revision given the limited time I had.
I would recommend this course anytime , it was money well spent – Kudos Gideon and keep up the good job.
This course is incredibly beneficial and a very powerful tool. The material and approach are solid. You will not be disappointed, and your confidence level will grow with each unit. Gideon was very responsive to any requests and his feedback during a quick one on one was straightforward and informative. The amount of 5-star ratings paint an accurate picture of what you will receive with this course. Best of luck!
This course is hands down, most helpful course for a PI Cognitive Assessment. What makes it unique to others, is its approach to method. All the way, from the start, the course focuses on explaining the methods required to approach each part with very practical strategies on how to progress with them. What is unique as well compared to other courses is that the focus of the “theory” part is tailored to the goal- taking the test and succeeding, a strategy which is not always as obvious and easy to follow in other courses. Would recommend based on time available to tailor the course. If you have a lot of time, go through it all, if not, this course will also explain which parts to focus on and which mock tests to do to progress within the available time. Last, but not least, combined with the guidance and feedback on one to one that Gideon offers, this course really empowers your knowledge on how to approach and succeed with the test!! Would recommend it any time!
Simply the best!
This course was very helpful for practicing for the actual PI Cognitive Assessment. It gives great strategies for enhancing your score and helps to improve the areas of the assessment that you have trouble with. I would definitely recommend it.
Gideon offers fantastic combination of practice (tests that he prepared, or links to other sites with tests) and explanation of the test theory and test approach. This, linked with his personal one to one feedback and guidance, gives you a full knowledge how / what you need to do in order to be successful with your tests. My final test results were impressive, even for me :).
Thank you Gideon!
This course was so helpful and I would recommend to anyone taking the assessment. Don’t forget to use Gideon’s offer to skype with him. It was very valuable and his positive influence was helpful! If you want to improve your score, take this course!
Took the PLI course to train for a test related to a job application. It really improved my test score and I got the job. Can really recommend 12MinPrep .. it is definitely worth the money and Gideon gave me good tips on how to improve my score.
The course for PLI test is really good to sharpen your aptitude skills in less amount of time. The mock tests are apt , the course content is optimum and the advices given by Mr. Gideon are invaluable. I gladly recommend people to join this course and reap the benefits.
Best regards
Bought the package more or less 72 hours ahead of the test. Very glad I did. It does help tremendously in several aspects:
1. understanding how the PI-LI assessment works
2. knowing your weak areas
3. developing a strategy to enhance/optimize your score
Ended up with 36/50 at my last attempt. I’d love to match that at the real test. Whatever the result, it definitely was useful. At that price, it’s a bargain and Gideon also provides very good insights.
All in all, 5 stars
In the beginning, I was sort of unsure, whether this course will help me with my journey, but then suddenly I got an aha-moment analogy, very simple but profound: if I do physical workout to perform well with my body, I should do the same thing with my mind if I want to reach my cognitive-goals on my journey.
In the beginning, I started scoring low and my confidence was killing me, but I changed that dramatically. It was very cool to see my progress.
I was very lucky that I found 12MINPREP, (thinking that there are so many sites out there).
Thank you very much, Gideon, for your wonderful and inspiring material.
Some links are not working anymore, The lessons are links to other pages, so there is no real structure. The videos are a minute long, and seriously some pages from the links ask you to create an account and they spam your email.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am sorry to hear you’re disappointed with the course. Firstly, be aware that I’ve refunded your purchase in full as part of my 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Secondly, it would be great if you told me which links you came across that didn’t work. I just went over the entire course’s lesson and couldn’t locate such broken links.
Thirdly, as for the lessons, yes indeed, the lessons are short in the beginning and they get slightly longer as you start taking the full-length practice tests. This is done for two reasons – save time, get you with hands-on practice with the topic-drills included in each lesson. This is the most important way to improve, especially as statistically speaking 95% of the candidates who take the PI cognitive assessment and/or take this course, start preparing only 72-96 hours before the deadline.
Lastly, I indeed provide a PDF version of each lesson which opens a new tab. This was requested by certain customers who asked for a printed version of the lesson. Take into account that I also provide a free introductory course on the website with lengthier videos, for those who have more time to practice. I now understand I should stress out its existence in the beginning of this course.
I hope to hear back from you.
Sincerely,
Gideon
This is an excellent preparation tool, which helped me to score high in the real test and secure the job. The most useful part for me was the fact that the mock tests are slightly harder, which I think makes it easier to answer the questions in the real test. It also allows you to learn how to manage time effectively and answer as many questions as possible. I highly recommend this site, don’t waste your time and look no further! If I ever have to do this again, I would be a returning customer.
There are many other test prep sites out there, some much more expensive than this one. So i was a little skeptical about signing up, but in the end decided that jump in. Don’t know about how good the other ones are, but i can testify that this one really helped. My initial scores were abysmal, to say the least. Completely lost all confidence that i will ever be able to pass it with more than 22. Talking with Gideon helped tremendously. Analyzing my initial scores he identified my strengths and weaknesses and together we designed a plan, mostly about which categories i should focus one and what (extra) resources to use to study. And i studied! i can’t say for sure if my scores in Gideon’s tests increased because of what i learned or because i already knew the answers (i took them 3 times), but i can tell you that in the real test i scored 33. I could have probably done better, had i listened to Gideon and not dwell on any question more than 10-20 seconds (i believe i lost about 2 full minutes on just 2 questions). so even though i completed only 40 questions, i still scored 33. That is incredible. And the coaching session is real. he is very patient and encouraging, and i did not feel time-pressured at any moment. This test prep place was a life saver for me. Highly recommended..
I scored 41/50 on the actual PI cognitive test. This is in the 99th percentile of the world and I really owe it to this course for helping me maximize my score potential. I spent one sunday evening answering the sample exams 6x, studying to perfect the numerical and verbal parts (completely ignored the abstract part which i felt would take too long for me to learn). I started w/ a score of 27. By the end of 6 practice tests, i scored 38. And of course in the actual test I scored 41. Thanks so much to 12minprep! Totally worth it. The materials are both efficient and effective.
Excellent practice. I took the final PLI and ofcourse, don’t know my score. However, it’s important to point out that the official test does not have a count down timer… so you come to know the time elapsed only when you move to the next page..that was disconcerting as I was not prepared with a separate timer. Overall, I found Gideon’s course very useful and valuable in helping me prepare for the PLI. Thanks Gideon for calling me on Skype and giving me the last minute encouragement to calm my nerves! I hope I have done well!
I have no words to say other than recommending this course. This really helped me in securing the job. I had 20 min support call with Gideon, I must say that without his advise I would not have cleared. It is really valuable. I only focused his full course and test practise / advise and got 26. This is truly valuable and I really thankful to Gideon for his great effort in providing this service.
I will gladly recommend this package for anyone that wants to take a PI Test. The drills totally paid off and Gideon during the Skype session really took his time to explains and educate me more on the PI test. His advice was really worth it and I appreciate his effort! I passed my test?
*explain
Can’t recommend this package enough – the tips were really simple but very useful and practical and Gideon took his time over the Skype session to really advice and calm me down as well. It really makes a difference!! I passed the test and my feedback was that I did really well!
The material and mentorship are more than worth it. I had 5 days to prepare for the Cognitive Assessment. I bought Gideon’s material online on a Thursday, contacted Gideon on a Friday, had 1:1 skype sessions with him over the weekend, in the meantime I deep dived into the lessons and mock tests during Friday to Monday and on Tuesday I was able to get a remarkable official test. And at the end I got the job! I felt guided and mentored all the time. This small but very significant detail impacted in my knowledge, confidence and speed. Thank you Gideon. No words are enough!
5 stars ✨ I couldn’t have done it without this prep. Thank you so much!
Do it!
It was absolutely worth it. Bought the course, took Gideons lectures and tested myself with the Full-length Mock Tests. They were challenging but I improved a lot. At the end I took the PLI exam according to my current application, got a high score and an offer. Thank you very much, Gideion, for your wonderful and inspiring material.
Thanks Gideon, This course helped me get a 90 percentile score on the PLI. The tips on Skype were great. I can’t recommend this course enough for preparing to take the PLI. It’s worth it everyone!
This helped me so much to prepare for the exam, I just wish I had more time as practice really does make perfect. I had only a weekend worth of notice and I also had lots of social plans so I was nervous but this prep is invaluable in helping you realise which questions to focus on and which to give an educated guess and hope for the best! Thank you Gideon!
Hi All,
I had one day to prepare for the assessment. I enrolled in this course in the morning, went quickly through the material, and then focussed on completing all of the practice tests. I scored 27 on my first test and then got into the mid 30s for the subsequent ones.
Bottom line for me was to skip questions I am weaker at and then go back to them later. I did the actual assessment at the end of the day and i got a score of 40. The actual assessment is easier than the sample tests. One thing that surprised me was that at the end of the test I was expecting to be able to review my answers and make changes but once you click submit it is over. I still had about 2 minutest left to review but it was over!
In any event, I recommend this course to practice the stress of answering 50 questions in 12 minutes. I didn’t find it necessary to have a personal coaching session.
Good luck!
Pat
Great test prep material as the tests are considerably more difficult than the real thing so you can breeze through the actual test with confidence. Also, the chat with Gideon was helpful. He was really flexible and responsive to short turnarounds too. Highly recommend.
Really helpful strategies, amazing results in short time, very supportive and responsive. Much appreciated. Would definitely recommend
This course is a good guide to help in preparation of PI assessment. I took this course which also contained detailed guidance about how to approach these tests and I could do significantly better each time. I would recommend it to other people who are looking forward to take cognitive tests from PI as a part of their interview process.
can’t agree more with DAYNEDELVALLE
Website is full of glitches. Unable to review tests after taking them, eliminating the value of this.. would not recommend. Save money / time and use something else.
Dear Justin,
Very sorry to hear you’re disappointed (you’re my first bad review!). You signed up at 3:45am and wrote this review 90 minutes later. Whatever happened during those 90 minutes, I am sure it has a fix. I contacted you just a few hours after you left this review and offered my help, but you didn’t reply.
In any case, I’ve refunded your purchase fully. You’re welcome to contact me and I’m sure you’ll be able to access all materials with no problem at all.
Sincerely,
Gideon
Really worth it! I got my PI test Friday, practiced Saturday and at night I wrote Gideon about 20 min consultation and he answered right away and was flexible to speak 20 min Sunday morning where we discussed my strength and weekness and how my strategy should be. I practiced with the new strategy on the mock tests and did the real test Sunday afternoon. The real test felt easier and I got amazing results.
Gideon’s course is an incredible value for $29. I had less than 48 hours to prepare for my PI assessment, and this course was laser-focused on how to do better on test through practice and score-maximizing techniques. To use a baseball analogy, this course was akin to being on deck with a heavy donut on your bat…then kicking off the donut when you got to the plate…and swinging away with amazing confidence and accuracy! That may sound cheesy, but it was completely the case with me. It was money VERY well spent. Thank you, Gideon!
I found the real test was very close to mock tests. The catch is to discuss your performance with Gideon on face to face Skype session. It will let you know your strengths and weakness, which question you have to answer and in which question you have to make an educated guess. This course is a must for all who are going to appear in the online tests.
Can’t say enough about the benefit of this program. Took a previous score in the low 20’s to a 41 and 99th percentile after taking the course. The course and practice tests were great, the 1-on-1 video conference with Gideon took it to the next level. He did a great job in helping me understand where I was falling short and where I was doing well. The strategy session completely changed the way I took the test and was a game changer in helping me reach my potential on the test. Thanks Gideon for offering such a great course, providing great advice and for your encouragement. Anyone taking this test needs to take this course!
I found out about Gideon’s course a few hours before I had to take the test. It was well worth the $29. It helped me identify my weaknesses and strengths. With enough time and practice, you can ace the actual test using the material he provides.
This is really what you need to prepare for the real online PI test. It was designed carefully and in abundant details so that you will be equipped with sufficient tools, knowledge and capacity to deal with the real test. Gideon also provided me with very good tactics to maximize my score. Thanks to it, I successfully conquered the real test and was invited to the HR interview round. My advice: you really don’t have to think twice to take the course!
I found the content and Mock tests are very useful and helped to approach the PIL test in a pragmatic way. thank you very much Gideon .
I was in a panic when I was only given 48 hours to take the PI Cognitive Assessment test for a job I applied for. I was not prepared at all! I found Gideon’s course online. For only $29 I went for it. I did a practice test and failed miserably!!! So I signed up for Gideon’s course. I had to cram for 24 hours straight as I approached my deadline. After taking the sample test, I had a consultation with Gideon. He looked at my scores. He saw my strengths and weaknesses. He coached me on how to proceed since I was out of time. Taking his advice, I took the sample tests 1 and 2. I did well! Really well! I waited until the morning to take the third one and right before I had to take the REAL thing. I came just below average on the third test. However, it was really hard. I went for it! I don’t know how I did yet. However, I was able to answer all 50 questions with time to go back and work on those areas I was weak in. I was able to answer three additional questions that I only guessed on. I fixed them because I had time to work out the problems on paper. It was totally worth the $29. Even if I don’t get picked for an interview. It was still worth it. If I get an interview, the course is priceless! Thanks, Gideon.
This course is a must for anybody who wants to get qualified for their prospective employer’s intial rounds.These tests really helped me to strategise and get the desired cut offs.I hardly had 2 days time to give my real exam but this course turned as a life saver .I too felt that the test is designed tougher as compared to the real test which i appeared.Thanks to Gideon and his team for providing something so useful.Really enjoyed the preparation process.Money worth spending
$29.00??? That’s it?!?! This course was SO GOOD, that I had to purchase it TWICE to show Gideon how VALUABLE this course really was in my performance on the REAL test! As an individual that believed “there’s no way I can study for a standardized test to improve my score,” I was surprised to find that I could not have been MORE wrong! On the first mock exam, I moved so slow that I only completed a TOTAL of 38/50 questions in the 12 minutes and only received a raw score of 22. This was extremely nerve-racking because my recruited told me that his company wouldn’t even consider me as a candidate unless I could score 24 points or higher. However, by the end of the course, I had utilized all of Gideon’s tips/tricks/strategies to comfortably complete all 50 questions in the short 12 minute time frame, while ALSO scoring 30 points! That’s 6 points HIGHER than the threshold score (24) that the recruiter gave me! My favorite part of Gideon’s tests is that he designed them to be MORE difficult than the actual test! I can confirm this because I took the real test yesterday and scored 33 points! His course has been life-changing for me and my family. Because of this course, I will now have the opportunity to switch careers and possibly double or even triple my annual salary! Thank you again to Gideon and the team at 12minprep.com! #GODsend #ThankYouJesus
I messaged Gideon on a Sunday as I had to take the test that same day. Called me straight back.
I took the premium course for 29$. This preparation helped me that much, that I was one of the best candidates who ever took the PI test at this big international company. I would take it again and highly recommend it.
This is an excellent course / practice tool for anyone attempting the PLI – I did for Maersk – and has bang on the similar style, so this will prepare you perfectly for the upcoming assessment. In fact tests 2 & 3 are designed to be difficult than the actual PLI (as I found) so they make the assessment pretty easy. I recommend this course to everyone whether due to appear a related test or even if looking for general brain exercise. It was a true value for money!!! Thank you Gideon.
Gideon has created a mind-blowing tool. My first attempt, I crashed and burned miserably. By my last attempt, I was scoring with over the high 66%. This was entirely due to Gideon’s expert tools, advice and technical tools within his software. Gideon is not only brilliant but also a natural mentor and has a keen ability to crystalize learning in such a brilliant, yet remarkably simple concepts. This course is worth every penny and Gideon is a genius!!
100% Satisfaction Guarateed. At this point, I’m 300% satisfied. Thank you Gideon!! 08-24-2018
This course was very helpful. Without this course I would have done very poorly. It showed me my strengths and weaknesses and where I needed to focus my effort. Make sure you get the 20 minute consultation from Gideon he was very helpful in creating an individualized strategy for taking the exam. Thank you Gideon you have created an excellent tool and course.
Very good test. It really gives you an inside into how the tests will be structured. If anyone thinks these test are difficult, dont worry you will be fine in the real test. I scored 19 points in my first real test 12 minutes – 50 questions, and received a score in the real test on 31 points.
I highly recommend taking the test several times, and make sure to read the complete explanation of every questions. Good luck everyone.
