What HPAT-Ireland tests

The HPAT does not test academic knowledge. It looks at reasoning and at how well you understand people: skills you can sharpen with timed practice.

1

Logical Reasoning and Problem Solving

Reasoning from written and graphical information to the conclusion it really supports.

Section 1 guide → 2

Interpersonal Understanding

Reading situations between people: what they think, feel and intend.

Section 2 guide → 3

Non-Verbal Reasoning

Spotting the rule in sequences and patterns of shapes, against the clock.

Section 3 guide →
Practice papers

Practise under real HPAT conditions

The fastest way to feel ready is to sit full sections against the clock, then review every question you got wrong.
