How CogniPrep Helps
WSP chose Arctic Shores to give every candidate — regardless of degree background — the opportunity to demonstrate their potential. The games feel unfamiliar the first time you encounter them.

CogniPrep gives you access to all 14 Arctic Shores game simulations so you can build speed, reduce anxiety, and go into WSP's assessment knowing exactly what to expect.
Top Tips
WSP hires for potential, not just qualifications
WSP adopted Arctic Shores specifically to look beyond traditional academic metrics. The assessment is designed to surface your genuine cognitive and behavioral traits, so respond naturally rather than trying to present a perfect image.
Prepare for the full process
The Arctic Shores games are one part of WSP's recruitment. Make sure you're also preparing for any competency-based interviews and technical assessments that follow.
Find a quiet environment
Many tasks require sustained concentration. Interruptions during memory and attention games directly affect your scores.
