Great Brain Exercise, but These Test Samples Are Different from Actual IQ Tests
If you're looking to exercise your brain, these tests will certainly stimulate and strengthen your noodle and result in improved brain function and longevity - the medical community is in consensus with this. But, if you're trying to see what your IQ is, these tests might not be the most representative. The tests in this book are actually HARDER than real IQ tests, or at least the one I was given.Several years ago, a former employer sent me with a group of employees, all part of a management training program, to take a series of tests and evaluations. A professionally administered and proctored IQ test was given as part of the process. The main difference between the tests in this book and the REAL IQ test was that the ladder was multiple choice and the tests in this book have many questions that require a written answer that doesn't allow for guessing. This in fact makes the tests in this book more difficult than a standardized IQ test.These tests are challenging, to say the least. But after you've done a few, you'll better understand the logic that goes into conceiving the questions and your scores will improve.I'm contemplating applying for membership into MENSA and I am confident that doing these practice tests will significantly improve my entry score compared to if I went in cold.But I feel the best use of these tests is for brain exercise. Unless you're in school or actively learning new, complex things, your brain gets into autopilot mode and starts atrophying. Consistent challenges like problem solving is one of the best ways to keep you mind sharp.

Phillip Carter Strikes Again!
I buy all the IQ books of Phillip Carter, because my gifted students are addicted to them. One or two pages every day, or they start grumbling. It doesn't matter what grade they are in, either; they all get sharp as razors using these books. Heaven only knows how the kids will survive without them when they graduate. My only complaint is that the book disappeared, and now I shall have to buy another.

Worth the money spent!
This book comes with ample practice tests. There's 40 questions in each one test supplied with answers and explanations at the back. Questions are more difficult than those you will find in most iq test. If you put into the effort to do these practice test I think there's probably no real test that would be too difficult for you.
