Practice exercises
These exercises have been designed for other international exams, and many of the topics included are not part of IAE’s test. However, they prove very useful to train your mind for quick mental processes.
For math sections:
www.800score.com (review the math section, including Problem Solving, Data Sufficiency and Critical Reasoning) –sample tests are updated periodically.

It is hard to provide any additional information that will be useful for test preparation, but both creativity and lateral thinking are increased through “mental practice” with these exercises.
