ACER TAR is a uniquely Australian test of abstract reasoning, with current adult data and online or paper-based administration. It is a relatively language-free assessment, used as a measure of general ability for selection into occupations with a moderate to high demand on reasoning and where the ability to think clearly to solve problems is important.

Features:

  • online and paper-based applications
  • easy to administer and use
  • cost and time effective
  • instant reporting
  • individual or group testing
  • can be used in combination with other ACER verbal and numerical reasoning tests to create a complete picture of a candidate's general ability
  • suitable for candidates with language difficulties or from non-English speaking backgrounds

This test is now available online.
