Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices Practice Book

Some answers don’t fit the logic of the problems being described. Either the problems are misprinted or the answers are wrong. Otherwise, it’s an entertaining brain twister book.

Ich habe das Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices Practice Book gekauft, um mich auf einen Eignungstest vorzubereiten, und es hat mir wirklich geholfen. Die Aufgaben sind abwechslungsreich und nah am Originalformat. Durch das regelmäßige Üben konnte ich meine Mustererkennung verbessern, schneller logische Zusammenhänge sehen und mich insgesamt sicherer fühlen.

The book is good for entertainment and training logical thinking. However, the author should explicitly point out that the evaluation matrix is not a representative result of an IQ score. If this were the case, then if half of the questions were answered correctly, the IQ would "only" be 85, which would mean that you are considered to be below average in intelligence. That this cannot be the case is clear from the relative complexity of the tasks, which, as the author also points out in the introduction, are more suitable for candidates in senior (management) positions. Due to this lack of care, I am only giving this book two stars.
