Good to know

Practice

Try answering abstract problems in newspapers and magazines or doing logic puzzles. There’s also a couple practice questions you can take before the test begins.

Establish a pattern

Look out for the number of shapes in a sequence, their position, rotation and color, as well as things like the number of sides of a shape.

Manage your time

This is a timed test, so if you’re stuck, simply move on to the next question and go back to the ones you skipped when/if you have extra time to spare.

Look out for distractors

Some sequences feature shapes and colors which are completely irrelevant and intended to distract you. Try to identify these and ignore them.
