What the test asks of you, what the screen looks like, how this book is built, and where you should start.

Each subtest has its own 25-minute countdown at the top of the screen and twenty numbered task buttons at the bottom. You can open the tasks in any order, go back and change answers while time remains, and mark a task with a flag to come back to it. A short instruction sits above every task and can be folded away; text size can be changed.
In Figure Sequences you click one of three pictures under each question mark. In Mathematical Equations you type each letter's value in its own box, with an on-screen number pad or the keyboard. In Latin Squares you click one letter in the answer column. A large warning appears when five minutes remain, and between subtests a two-minute pause counts down before the next one starts.
The practice tests in this book use a screen that works in the same way, in FLC colours, so you can rehearse every click before test day.
The Core Module has three task areas, and you will not be at the same level in all three. The book teaches each area at four levels:
| Level 1 · Foundation | Solve the easiest official-type tasks correctly, without notes. Check: 6 of 8 correct in 12 minutes. |
|---|---|
| Level 2 · Standard | Solve standard tasks at the official pace of about 75 seconds each. Check: 6 of 8 correct in 10 minutes. |
| Level 3 · Advanced | Solve tasks with two moving parts or a hidden step at the official pace. Check: 6 of 8 correct in 10 minutes. |
| Level 4 · Top Percentile | Solve the hardest tasks quickly enough to bank time for checking. Check: 7 of 8 correct in 8 minutes. |
Every task in the book is original and was checked by computer to have exactly one correct answer. The level names and targets are FLC's: dMAT publishes no levels, and the targets will be refined as FLC students' real results come in.
Twelve tasks: four in each area, from Level 1 to Level 4. Take them without a timer and without notes, then check. Your starting level in each area is the first level you get wrong.
