Why this exists
I built this because the practice I could find was the wrong exam.
If you're sitting a publicjobs assessment and you go looking for realistic practice, here's what you hit: the official familiarisation tests stop short of the SJT mechanic you're actually marked on, the cheap aptitude sites are all UK content with pound-sign sums and the wrong timing, and the one genuinely Irish option wants €199 a year for a single grade. There was no affordable, Irish-accurate way to just sit down and rehearse the real thing.
So I made one. It started as a small free taster - numerical and verbal in the actual EO format, timed, with worked solutions - to find out whether other people were as fed up as I was. They were. This is the full version of that.
What I care about getting right
Irish-accurate, not adapted
Every question is built to the publicjobs format and timing, and every SJT scenario is mapped to the 2024 Capability Framework. Nothing here is a UK pack with the currency symbol swapped.
Practice you learn from
A score on its own tells you nothing. Every question has a worked solution, so when you get one wrong you come away knowing the method, not just the miss.
Honest about what it is
This is realistic, reviewed practice in the real format. It isn't an insider leak of the actual test, and it can't promise you a pass. What it can do is make the day itself familiar instead of a shock.
How the questions are made
Each question is drafted against the real publicjobs format and the 2024 Capability Framework, then reviewed for accuracy before it goes in the bank, with its provenance logged so nothing ships unchecked. The defensible part of this isn't clever software - it's questions that genuinely match what you'll sit. That's the bar the generic UK content misses, and it's the thing I spend the most time on.
What I want it to do for you
The candidates who do well at the assessment aren't the ones with a secret knack. They're the ones who'd seen the format enough times that the real test felt familiar. That's all this is: enough realistic reps that you sit down calm and the assessment is a formality, not a coin-flip.
