Frequently asked questions
We’re glad you asked! A lot of work goes into creating questions for ICAS past papers. Our assessments team use psychometric science to pinpoint the “just right” zone of difficulty, before spending a year+ to write, design and review each question. They then test them individually to ensure they reflect the latest ICAS assessments as closely as possible.
