Aon smartPredict practice

smartPredict invitations name modules, not subjects: gridChallenge, digitChallenge and their siblings. Train the two formats that decide most screenings — the deductive grid and the digit equation — exactly as they are played.

Free to start. Every item is generated fresh, marked with a full worked solution, and ranked on a 1–9 stanine band that recalibrates as more candidates practise.

What it measures

What Aon smartPredict is actually testing

The smartPredict grid measures constraint propagation — given a grid where each symbol appears once per row and column, how quickly you find the one cell whose occupant is forced, and the cell that opens up next. The digit format measures the same discipline over arithmetic: place the digits so the equation holds, with each digit used once. Neither ever requires a guess; both punish starting from the wrong cell.

The format

How the real assessment runs

gridChallenge format
A symbol grid with cells removed. Every step is forced by elimination; higher levels remove more cells and lengthen the shortest chain.
digitChallenge format
An equation with blanks and the digits 1–9, each usable once. The order you fill decides whether the arithmetic ever gets hard.
Short and adaptive
Timed runs where a correct answer raises the level and a wrong one lowers it, mirroring how the real modules breathe.
Walkthroughs
A wrong answer replays the shortest valid chain step by step — erase, refill, scrub back and forth — so the route, not the answer, is what you learn.

Where marks are lost

The trap that costs the most marks

Opening on the most conspicuous gap instead of the most constrained cell. The clock on these modules is lost in the first move: a bad entry point means re-deriving half the grid, a good one cascades. Our walkthrough exists precisely to train that instinct — it reveals the shortest forced chain one figure at a time instead of handing you the answer.

Why practise here

What this practice gives you

01

Both signature formats generated fresh on every run, with a solver in the loop so a forced chain to the answer always exists

02

Step-by-step replays that teach route choice — the skill the clock actually prices

03

A stanine rank per format, recalibrated as more candidates practise

04

Difficulty that scales the way the real modules do: more cells removed, longer forced chains, never new rules mid-run

05

The deductive grid is free to try before paying anything

With Persona Prep Pro

Everything you need to walk in ready

One subscription covers the whole assessment library, not just this exercise — because almost nobody is invited to sit only one module.

The full aptitude library

SHL Verify, Aon cut-e, Hogan and Saville formats — numerical, verbal, inductive, deductive, mechanical, checking and the interactive modules.

A rank, not just a score

Every run is placed on a 1–9 stanine band that recalibrates as the candidate pool grows, so you know your position.

A course per exercise

What it measures, the trap that costs marks, and worked items from every format — then the exercise itself.

Unlimited fresh items

Everything is generated, so you never run out and never memorise a bank.

Written + voice AI coach

Aon smartPredictfrequently asked questions

What is Aon smartPredict?

smartPredict is the name Aon gives its current suite of short, game-like assessment modules. Invitations name the modules rather than the subjects — gridChallenge for the deductive symbol grid, digitChallenge for the digit equation, and siblings for memory, switching and motion tasks.

How do you get better at gridChallenge?

Route choice decides the clock: open on the most constrained cell — the one whose row and column together rule out every symbol but one — and let the consequences cascade, instead of starting from the emptiest-looking gap. Our practice replays the shortest forced chain step by step after a wrong answer, which trains exactly that instinct.

Are these the real smartPredict questions?

No — Aon's item banks are confidential, and reproducing them is neither legal nor useful, since the real test generates fresh items too. We build the same formats with our own generators and a solver in the loop, so every grid is provably solvable by pure elimination, just like the real thing.

Which smartPredict modules can I practise here for free?

The deductive grid (gridChallenge format) is one of the free exercises, alongside the numerical module — two cut-e formats open without a card. The digit equation and the rest of the interactive battery unlock with the subscription.
