FENZ General Ability Screen study plan

Diagnose current ability by completing one untimed 30-question verbal set and one 12-scenario situational judgement set, then tabulate accuracy by question type

Rank the situational judgement response styles (action-oriented, people-oriented, rule-oriented, avoidance) and identify which style you default to when a scenario has no clearly correct answer

Practise writing 4-sentence justifications for situational judgement choices so each answer names the competing priorities and the trade-off taken

Build a personal error log with three columns: question type, reason for error, and the rule you will apply next time

Define a reading routine for dense operational text (scan for who, what, when, and consequence) and apply it to five short passages

Work through 20 situational judgement scenarios under a 90-second-per-item limit and mark each answer against the stated priority hierarchy (safety, then procedure, then team, then efficiency)

Identify the three most common trap answers in situational judgement items (escalate immediately, ignore the issue, act outside your authority) and write a one-line counter for each

Summarise five multi-paragraph verbal passages in a single sentence each, capturing the author's main claim rather than the supporting detail

Distinguish fact, inference, and opinion in 15 verbal statements and record the cue words that gave each away

Review the week-1 error log and re-attempt every missed question without looking at the original answer

Complete 40 numerical problems covering percentages, ratios, averages, and rates, timing each set at 60 seconds per question

Build a mental-math drill card for fraction-to-decimal conversions, percentage change, and quick estimation, and rehearse it for 10 minutes on four separate days

Extract the required operation from word problems before calculating, by underlining the quantity asked for and circling the given values

Apply the situational judgement framework to 15 new scenarios where a colleague's error or a rostering conflict is the central issue

Check every numerical answer with a reverse calculation or magnitude estimate and log the ones where the check caught an error

Solve 20 data-interpretation problems involving tables and text-described figures, without using a calculator, and record time per question

Identify and correct your two weakest numerical topics from the week-3 error log by completing 15 targeted questions on each

Practise 10 situational judgement items involving integrity and confidentiality, and justify each choice against policy rather than personal preference

Rehearse explaining a numerical conclusion in plain language to a non-specialist in three sentences

Complete one full mixed verbal and numerical mini-test under exam timing and review every error the same day

Classify abstract reasoning patterns into the six families (rotation, reflection, progression, alternation, distribution, addition/subtraction of elements) and label 30 practice items by family

Solve 25 sequence and matrix problems by testing one rule at a time and eliminating options that break it

Sketch the net, plan, and elevation views of five everyday objects and check each sketch against the object

Practise mental rotation by describing the orientation of a shape after 90, 180, and 270 degree turns without drawing

Review mechanical principles (levers, gears, pulleys, and pressure) and solve 15 applied questions on them

Complete 30 abstract reasoning items at 45 seconds each and log which pattern family caused each error

Solve 15 spatial problems involving folded paper, cube faces, or mirror images and verify each answer by re-deriving it a second way

Explain in writing how a gear train's direction and speed change with tooth count, and check the explanation against three worked examples

Interpret simple mechanical diagrams described in text (lever arm lengths, pulley arrangements) and calculate the resulting force or motion

Re-attempt all week-5 abstract and mechanical errors and confirm at least 80% are now correct

Complete two full-length mixed tests under strict timing and record section-by-section accuracy and time spent

Analyse situational judgement errors by asking whether the mistake came from misreading the scenario, misjudging the priority, or choosing an unrealistic action

Practise 10 verbal items requiring inference from short passages, and state the evidence line that supports each chosen answer

Rehearse a pacing strategy that allocates time per section and identifies which questions to flag and return to

Rewrite the situational judgement framework using what the full tests revealed and cut any rule that did not help

Complete three full-length practice tests across the final week, spacing them on separate days to simulate exam conditions

Target your lowest-scoring domain with 20 focused questions and re-check accuracy against the week-7 baseline

Review the entire error log and confirm every logged rule is now applied correctly on a fresh question

Rehearse exam-day logistics: timing checkpoints, permitted materials, and a plan for flagging and returning to hard items

Complete a final light review of formula and pattern reference sheets without attempting new hard material in the last 24 hours
