Civil Service Test Prep Companion — NICS & UK Civil Service Aptitude Test practice pack
Prepare for the online tests stage of Civil Service recruitment with real, exam-style practice, not just generic tips.
This is an interactive digital tool, not a PDF. Open it in any browser (desktop or mobile), pick a test, and start straight away. No account, no install, no internet connection needed once downloaded.
What's included:
Situational Judgement — 99 real workplace scenarios covering both response formats used across Civil Service grades: rating each response individually, and picking the Most and Least likely response
Verbal Reasoning — 62 passages with True / False / Cannot Say statements
Numerical Reasoning — 45 data tables with multiple-choice questions
Full Mock — a timed run through all three test types back to back, the way they're run in the real online test stage
Two ways to practise:
Learning mode — see the correct answer and a full explanation after every question, so you understand the reasoning, not just the answer
Timed Mock — real test conditions with a countdown, full results at the end
Choose a session of 5, 10 or 20 questions each time, freshly randomised from the full bank, so no two sessions are the same. After every session, see exactly what you answered next to the correct answer, with the reasoning behind it, so you know precisely where to focus.
Suitable for any Civil Service grade, from Administrative Officer entry-level roles through to Senior Civil Service, and both NICS and wider UK Civil Service candidates.
