Your IQ score is calculated using the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale methodology, a gold-standard approach used by cognitive psychologists worldwide. Your raw responses are analyzed across multiple cognitive domains: logical reasoning, pattern recognition, spatial visualization, verbal comprehension, and processing speed. We then normalize your performance against millions of test-takers in your age and demographic group to produce a score with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15.

Yes, you can retake the test anytime. However, we recommend waiting at least 2-3 weeks between attempts to minimize practice effects and get the most accurate results. Each retake is fully adaptive and generates a new score based on your current performance. Your previous scores are kept in your history for comparison, allowing you to track improvements over time.

After completing your IQ test, you'll receive a downloadable PDF certificate that displays your IQ score, percentile ranking, test date, and cognitive skill breakdown. The certificate features official IQ EXAM branding and can be shared professionally or personally. It serves as a record of your cognitive assessment and is suitable for educational or career development purposes.

Small score variations (10-15 points) between tests are normal due to factors like fatigue, concentration level, and test anxiety. However, each test is independently scored using the same methodology, so your true cognitive ability should stabilize over multiple attempts. If you see consistent improvements, it reflects genuine growth from practice and cognitive training. Larger variations (20+ points) may indicate environmental factors affecting your focus during the test.
