Typical scores on our AssessFirst practice tests

Name: CogniPrep AssessFirst practice score benchmarks
Creator: CogniPrep

How people actually score on CogniPrep's practice versions of the AssessFirst tests. Everything here is counted from our own practice sessions, anonymised and added up. None of it comes from AssessFirst, and no employer sees it.

Snapshot taken 8 November 2026, from sessions played between 5 October 2026 and 8 November 2026.

These are not AssessFirst results

AssessFirst reports BRAIN as a whole number from 1 to 10, worked out from which questions you got right on its adaptive route, with your speed shown beside it rather than inside it. An employer that sets a bar picks a minimum level, from Basic (4 or more, which about 85% of people reach) to Expert (8 or more, about 15%), and some set none. Our version follows the same rules with our own questions, but it is not calibrated against AssessFirst's population, so a practice score is not your AssessFirst level.

What the practice score is

Our BRAIN ends with a score out of 100: our estimate of the level you reached on a 1 to 10 ladder like AssessFirst's, stretched so that level 1 is 0 and level 10 is 100. Like the real test, it is adaptive, so the share of questions you get right says little on its own; the level reached is what counts, and time spent does not change it. SWIPE and DRIVE are questionnaires and give no score.

After a game we also show a percentile: the share of saved practice sessions on that game that your score beat. The chart below shows the same kind of spread, counted more strictly (see how we counted, further down), so it will not match it exactly.

How scores spread on BRAIN

Each bar is a band of 5 points and shows the share of sessions that scored in it. To place a score of your own, open the table under the chart: it gives the score at each tenth of the spread.

Practise BRAIN

Games without a spread

SWIPE and DRIVE are questionnaires about personality and motivation. AssessFirst reports them as a profile with no right answers, so our versions do the same, and we do not publish a spread that could be read as a target. Between them they have 44 counted sessions so far.

What changes with practice

Not enough to say yet. To show how scores move from a first to a third attempt, a game needs 50 players whose first three sessions were all complete and inside the counting window, and no AssessFirst game here has that many so far.

How we counted

What is counted

Completed sessions of our AssessFirst practice games. Staff and test accounts are left out, and so are sessions our scorer flagged as incomplete, where the game could not be scored from what was played. Every session since each game launched counts.

Repeat players

Nobody counts more than 10 times in a spread: we keep each player's first 10 sessions, so a few people replaying a game many times cannot set its shape. The median first attempt uses every player's first session.

Minimum sample

A spread needs 200 sessions and 100 players, enough to place the median to within about 7 percentile points either way. First to third attempt needs 50 players.

Privacy

The snapshot holds only totals, medians and shares. No name, email, account or single session is in it or on this page.
