Arctic Shores tasks / Tiles
Arctic Shores Tiles practice
Tiles light up in order; tap them back in the same order. Each right answer adds one more. Leave out tiles marked with a cross.
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 Tiles works
- A board of tiles lights up one tile at a time, then you tap the same tiles in the same order.
- Get it right and the next sequence is one longer. Practice starts at three; the candidate who took it recalls about four.
- Later rounds add flashes with a cross. Those are not part of the sequence.
- Practice uses 15 tiles (one practice site reports 15; the candidate recalls about 12) and ends after two wrong rounds in a row.
Time and scoring
About 3 to 5 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
- Group the sequence into threes and say positions to yourself: top left, middle, bottom right.
- When a cross flashes, skip it in your head straight away instead of trying to remove it later.
- The candidate found sequences of seven to ten hard on the first try and much easier with practice.
Questions
Is this the same as Sequence?
Yes. One source calls it Sequence, others Tiles. It is a memory task where the sequence grows.
Is there a time limit on answering?
Not that candidates report. Practice gives you as long as you need to tap the sequence back.
