Awesome Cognify App

Super Realistic Cognify App
I’m so impressed with Prime Motion Training’s Cognify App! It’s the perfect preparation for doing it for real. I can’t recommend this course enough for any applicant preparing to sit the Cognify Mini Games test.

Are you nervous about the SAPOL evaluation and testing stage?
South Australia Police applicants undergo a IQ & Cognitive Assessments & Personality Profiling as part of the recruitment process – what’s involved in this part of the application?
The evaluation can be broken into three sections:
- IQ – Cognitive
- IQ – Reasoning
- Personality questionnaire
This can be a stressful stage of the recruitment process for many police applicants, but, don’t worry, this is a stage of the application process you can prepare for.
How we can help with this stage of the process
I think it’s fair to say we can help police applicants achieve their dream of becoming a police officer. After all, for the last 17 years more than 6,000 applicants have taken our training, and, more than 90% of them are now police officers! How’s that for a success rate?!
Our founder, Russell Kempster, spent 14 years as a police officer in Victoria, with 4 years of that time as an instructor at the police academy. To say helping police applicants is our passion would be an understatement!
Our training is tailored specifically to meet the requirements of your police application. You can expect very detailed and comprehensive training, delivered online, via video tutorial lessons and custom software applications.
Access to the training is unlimited. You can take lessons at your own pace, when and where it suits you, and you can take the lessons, and use the applications, as many times as you like.
We’re here to help keep you moving should you have any technical support questions. We also offer a paid premium coaching support option should you want to receive personalised advice and guidance, over and above the online training, during your application journey.
When you take our online training you’ll also be invited to join our community of police applicants, from around the country, working towards the same goal – achieving their dream of becoming a police officer.
Let’s take a closer look at the training to help you with this stage of your South Australia Police application.
Here's what we're going to cover in this training
We’ll help you understand what to expect at this stage to ease your mind.
The cognitive reasoning tests involves 3 separate components:
- IQ – Cognitive
- IQ – Reasoning
- Personality profiling
In this part of our training you’ll have access to comprehensive tutorial videos that will teach you how to approach all three types of reasoning questions.
You’ll learn the formulas and step by step procedures needed to find the correct answers. You’ll also have access to our custom software practice tests where you can take an unlimited amount of practice tests where the questions are selected randomly from our database and where each practice tests provides a report with detailed explanations about your results.
IQ – Cognitive
The IQ Cognitive section is done via the Cognify application.
Cognify is a series of short problem solving games designed to test applicant’s ability to learn quickly and to use reasoning skills to find solutions to problems that may be numbers, words, or visually based. It can be a stressful test because most applicants will be unfamiliar with this type of testing, and so the pressure is on to learn and adjust quickly in order to solve as many problems as possible in this very fast moving test.
After searching high and low for good quality Cognify preparation material without success we decide the only thing to do was to create our own. You’ll have full access to this course!
IQ – Reasoning
The IQ reasoning tests involves 3 separate components:
- Verbal reasoning – problem solving questions involving words
- Abstract reasoning – problem solving questions involving images, shapes and patterns
- Numerical reasoning – problem solving questions involving numbers
In this part of our training you’ll have access to comprehensive tutorial videos that will teach you how to approach all three types of reasoning questions.
You’ll learn the formulas and step by step procedures needed to find the correct answers. You’ll also have access to our custom software practice tests where you can take an unlimited amount of practice tests where the questions are selected randomly from our database and where each practice tests provides a report with detailed explanations about your results.
Personality Profiling
The personality profiling tool is often referred to as psychometric testing, which can be thought of as a personality survey.
It’s essentially a personality questionnaire. This is not a test that requires any learned or researched knowledge, however, it is an assessment that you can prepare for by accessing our specific resources to get your head around the types of questions you’ll find in the assessment.
The test questions feel more like statements that you are asked to agree to, or disagree with. As the test progresses, your responses start to form a picture of your personality traits, your perspective on issues, and your motivations and goals.
We’ll also help you with the personality profiling section, should you be required to undergo an emotional intelligence assessment (EQ).
IQ & Cognitive Testing
In this part of the course you’ll learn about the IQ assessment involving reasoning tests, and have access to our custom build Cognify Mini Games Test application. We’ll share tips to help you better understand how to deal with both sections of the testing stage, both IQ and Cognitive Testing.

Investing in your future police career
Don’t be mistaken in thinking that you play a few games and there’s not much to it. The Cognify Mini-Games are very challenging and the time flies when you’re on the test!
As for personality profiling, applicants can and do come unstuck at this stage of the application. Often, it comes down to just not knowing what we don’t know!
I’m going to help you with both of these tests.

Which pricing option is right for me?
If you’d like help with 1 stage of your application, the 1 Month or 3 Months prepay option might be the best fit for you. However, if you’re early in your journey and would like help with multiple testing stages, the 6 or 12 month prepay options are significantly discounted.
Free Access Guarantee
Frequently asked questions...
That’s entirely your choice! You could:
- Do nothing and allow the monthly payments of $99 to commence (for as many months as you like)
- Prepay a further period of 3, 6 or 12 months [additional discounts ($50/$100/$200) on top of these discounts is applied for existing PMT members], or
- You can submit the cancel membership form any time before (at least 24 hours) the monthly payments are due to commence. Example: you could prepay for 6 months and submit the cancellation form after one month if you like. You will still have full access until the end of your prepaid period before the membership would expire automatically. Note: We will send you plenty of reminders when your prepaid period is ending.
Yep, just select the one-month pricing option, then submit the cancel membership form at least 24 hours before the next payment is due and you’re done.
As a member, you’ll have access to everything, the cost is determined by how long you stay on as a member, not by the courses you access.
We have courses that are specifically tailored on a state by state basis. As a member you’ll get access to all the training courses for all the states/territories, so regardless of which state you are applying for we’ve got you covered!
No. However, you can cancel it at any time.
When you cancel your membership you will continue to have full access until the end of the paid period.
Good question! It really comes down to your application time frame and how much help you’d like. If you’re early in the application process we suggest considering the 6 or 12-month pricing option. If you’re already well into the journey, the one or 3-month pricing option might be more suitable.
We do not offer refunds, so please be sure the program is right for you before making a commitment. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us!
We’ll do everything in our power to help and support you to succeed. The membership is a self-paced program, if you need personalised private coaching with Russ, or you’d like your work to be individually critiqued on a one-off basis, there are paid options available.
Not necessarily. When you’re on the monthly payments, they’re processed every 30 days. The actual date is shown on your previous payment receipt.
In life? Nope, however, Russ has been passionately helping police applicants for more than 17 years. Over 6,000 applicants have come through our program, 90% of them are now police officers. In the unlikely event you take our course and don’t pass that stage of the application, we will give you free access to that course again for 30 days when you reapply.
