Practise the Sova assessment before it decides your application
Numerical, verbal, logical, situational judgement and personality — plus a 38-minute full mock (situational judgement, verbal, logical and personality). Built for UK graduate schemes. Practice timers are SovaGorilla pace settings. Any time limit or deadline will be in your invitation.

How we prepare you — without the guesswork
We are a new site, so we do not publish customer reviews until we have real, consented ones.
Every claim sourced or labelled
Factual statements about employer processes cite the employer's own page. Where no source exists, we say so rather than inventing a statistic.
Practice timings, honestly labelled
Our timers build pace. They are SovaGorilla practice settings. Any time limit or deadline will be in your invitation.
7-day money-back guarantee

How it works
Three steps between you and a practised sitting.
Pick your employer's configuration
Check your invitation email for the sections you'll sit, then practise those.
Sit a realistic section
One question at a time, in Sova-style formats.
Fix the gap, then sit the mock
Review accuracy and pace per section, then prove it in the 38-minute full mock.
Track your readiness section by section
Every attempt is scored and timed, so you know whether accuracy or pace is costing you marks.

Where our claims come from
Every statement about the assessment or scheme competition is sourced. Nothing here is estimated.
Sova names JCB and Nationwide as early-careers users, and Sky, John Lewis Partnership, TUI and Vodafone among its customers.
Sova states that its numerical, verbal and logical reasoning tests have no fixed time limit, but the time you take to reach the correct answer is factored into your score.

Application and reapplication rules differ by employer: Santander says non-apprenticeship applicants normally wait at least six months before reapplying, while NHS GMTS welcomes a further application after an unsuccessful one.
