Four abilities at full length, age-normed in twelve-month bands: verbal, quantitative, non-verbal and spatial reasoning. There is no exam behind this one and no verdict at the end, only a profile. Nothing to revise for and no pass mark.
There is no exam paper behind IRIS, so there is no exam pace to copy. Every subtest runs on its own clock at the pace the age norms are built on, and younger students get more time on every question. The table shows exactly what each subtest runs.
| Section | Questions | Time | Seconds per question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verbal classification | 9 | 4 min 48 s | 32s |
| Verbal analogies | 9 | 4 min 48 s | 32s |
| Number analogies | 9 | 5 min 24 s | 36s |
| Number series | 9 | 5 min 24 s | 36s |
| Figure classification | 8 | 5 min 20 s | 40s |
| Figure matrices | 8 | 5 min 20 s | 40s |
| Figure analysis | 6 | 4 min 48 s | 48s |
| Figure recognition | 6 | 4 min 48 s | 48s |
| Total | 64 | 41 to 47 min | |
| Bring rough paper and a pen. There is nothing to prepare. Sit it when you are rested, because that is what a reasoning profile is actually measuring. | |||
Times shown are for Class 10 students. Class 8 to 9 students get 5 percent more time on every question (43 timed minutes), and Class 6 to 7 students get 15 percent more time on every question (47 timed minutes). A student with an extra-time arrangement gets 25 percent more again on every clock. The clock never pauses, including while the screen is hidden. With the 30-second breaks between subtests the whole sitting takes 44 to 50 minutes.
Marking: +1 for a correct answer and 0 for a wrong one. Nothing is ever deducted, so a considered answer always beats a blank.
Not a pass or a fail, and not a prediction for any exam. A reading of how this student reasons, set against students of the same age.
Verbal, quantitative, non-verbal and spatial reasoning, each placed in a band against students of the same age, so an uneven profile shows as uneven instead of being averaged away.
The report measures the gap between the strongest and weakest ability and says whether the profile is flat or spiky. Where two subtests inside one ability disagree by more than chance allows, it says that too.
What the pattern usually looks like in class and at home, and what to do with it next, written for a parent and not for a psychologist.
Foundation, Developing, Secure, Strong or Exceptional for each ability, and a composite across all four.
A projected standard age score for each ability as a range with a confidence band, never a single fake number. Provisional India Class 6 to 10 norms: one table per form, with a small declared age step for each twelve-month band inside it. To be recalibrated once 500 sittings per form exist.
Correct and answered for each of the eight subtests, next to what guessing alone would score, so nothing hides inside a band.
If too little was answered, or answers came faster than anyone can read, the report holds the profile back and a free re-sit is offered instead.
Scores, bands and ranges are decided before a single word of prose exists. Identical answers always produce the identical profile, whoever sat it and whenever.
It explains the pattern the rules found, in language a parent can act on. It cannot invent, move or drop a figure, because it is never given the arithmetic to do.
The bands print as the rules computed them. The prose explains them; it cannot soften, round up or improve a single one.
Buy a sitting and a one-time access code arrives by email, with the sitting-conditions sheet. One code, one sitting.
44 to 50 quiet minutes in one sitting, at a desk, breaks included. Bring rough paper and a pen. There is nothing to prepare. Sit it when you are rested, because that is what a reasoning profile is actually measuring. The clock runs on our server and does not pause.
The report reaches the student with the parent copied in: the four bands, the subtests behind them, and what to do with them next.
Any student who wants a full reasoning profile. There is nothing to revise for and nothing to sit afterwards: IRIS measures how a student thinks, not what they have learned.
64 questions in 41 to 47 timed minutes. The form, and so the pace, is set by the student's age: younger students get more time on every question.
A sitting this length cannot honestly resolve any finer. A single number would be more precise than the evidence, and precision we cannot stand behind is the one thing a diagnostic must never sell.
The full report is generated and sent about an hour after the sitting is submitted, to the student with the parent copied in.
