I dont know how southern do theirs, but I practiced on the computer version and on the day it was done on paper.

So may be worth printing off several pages and trying it like that.

Tbh I found it easier on paper.

What to not do is over-practice this, getting scores that are extremely higher than what is really needed. This is a waste of time which would be much better spent practising the other elements of the psycho tests.


Best thing to do is just aim for 1300 cells with 3 errors just to be on the safe side then leave it at that.
