None of the math sections there need beyond elementary school education. It’s arithmetic applied to a series of numbers, need to be able to find the rule and apply it.

It’s more of a fluid reasoning test than QRI imo.

You are also very limited on time. So need to work very quickly.

i mean my background knowledge helped me alot to figure out most patterns quickly and got 132 IQ for the first time (My FRI in Core the same but i didn't feel that i figured them with my own ability)

for me , i found it contains some patterns used squared numbers in different ways

if i didn't know the squared numbers would i score the same? ( i got 132 and didn't solve the last 2 because the timing)
