Arctic Shores tasks / Tickets
Arctic Shores Tickets practice
A numbered shape flashes in the top or bottom ticket. Top: answer odd or even. Bottom: answer rounded or angular.
One full free game, then a Arctic Shores pass ($4.99 for 30 days, paid once) for unlimited practice. Built from Arctic Shores' candidate help pages and the account of a candidate who took the real assessment three times (PwC, KPMG and HSBC apprenticeships), checked against what other practice sites report. No recording of the real test is public; screens and wording are ours.
How Tickets works
- Two tickets sit one above the other. A shape with a number from 1 to 9 flashes in one of them.
- In the top ticket only the number matters: odd or even. In the bottom ticket only the shape matters: rounded, or with corners and points.
- You answer with two keys. Practice uses Q for even or rounded and P for odd or angular, as other practice sites report; the real test shows its own rule on screen and you can re-read it.
- Shapes flash quickly and the pace picks up, much like Direction.
Time and scoring
About 2 minutes. Arctic Shores does not publish how tasks are scored and says there is no right way to approach them. Practice shows the raw measures a task like this records, so you can see how you play; it is not your real result.
Tips
- Say the rule to yourself when the ticket changes: top, number; bottom, shape.
- Switching tickets is where people slow down. Our results show your speed on switches against repeats.
- Do not chase a missed ticket. Get the next one right.
Questions
Why is it called Tickets?
That is the name candidates and practice sites use for it; the two boxes look like tickets. Nothing in the task is about tickets.
Is the key mapping the same in the real test?
Not confirmed. The candidate who took it did not say which key is which; one practice site reports the mapping we use. Read the instructions in your assessment.
