First problem encountered immediately: you have to register, and the form complained that my email address was invalid. It isn't. It contains a hyphen; some email addresses do. Deal with it, app developers! I have more than one email address, so I could get round this. I next tried some of the questions. Now, I'm an adult with a PhD in mathematics, so I was surprised to find many of the questions non-obvious and subsequently to get them wrong.. Looking at the explanations made it clear what was going on: to get the question "right" you have to spot the rule the question-setter had in mind and ignore any other equally simple rule. (For example, one of the "odd one out" questions requires you to identify as odd the figure that is not made up of 9 edges, not the one that contains a concave shape.) This kind of problem would have shown up if they'd tried the questions on a sample of children, so I surmise they didn't. Possibly useful for a confident child for exposure to question types, but don't let your child take "mistakes" to heart!

It helps me learn but it got a answer wrong because my mum , dad checked it.
