IQ Lens has no countdown. You can study a task and choose an answer without feeling that the next second decides everything.

Choose a good moment

Choose a time with few distractions. Position your screen so that you can clearly see both the task and the answer options.

On a phone, pay particular attention to small details. If a drawing is unclear, do not rush to choose based only on its outline.

Choose first, then confirm

Before moving on, check that you selected the option you intended. An accidental tap should not decide for you.

Try briefly stating the rule to yourself. This helps distinguish a reasoned choice from a first impression.

Time provides context

At the end, you can see how long you took. A longer or shorter time does not explain the result by itself: some people study a drawing longer, others get distracted.

Time should not automatically translate into extra points. Scoring rules must be defined in advance and applied consistently to every attempt using the same version.

A repeat attempt differs from the first

If you have seen a task before, familiarity does part of the work. Keep that in mind when comparing your own results.

Revisiting tasks can be interesting, but a single higher repeat score does not prove a change in general intelligence.

Take the test carefully and at a comfortable pace. Time complements the result; it does not replace it.
