Shane,

Worth a read through the thread as there are posts with alot more detail, but in brief:

All sections are multiple choice.

1 - Numerical and Alphabetical checking.
Depends on how your brain is wired, but personally I liked these as a bit of a warm-up. Basic test to find the answer that matches. For example, you may be given :AGHN and the choices could be:
AGNH, ANGH, AGHN, ANHG

Starts out with 4 or 5 letters, working up to I think it's 9?
Repeat the exercise again, except for numbers. 5 mins to do each section.

2 - Spacial awareness. 3 sets of cubes and too little time!
The first cube isn't too bad, the next slightly worse, the third is just evil

3 - Diagrammatic Checking.
You'll start with a stack of 4 symbols. Next to each is an instruction (eg, reverse the shape, swap it with the one below etc). You'll then be presented with options as to how the shape should look. For example:






If the instructions next to the top three smileys above said swap with the one below, you would eventually get:






(That better be right!)

50 of these, again against the clock, and they get alot more complicated than the example above.

Think that about covers it. Good luck!
