What is the next number in the sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12, ...?
14
15
18
16
The sequence increases by 3 each time. After 12, adding 3 gives 15.
In the analogy "Bird is to nest as bee is to ___", which word best completes the analogy?
Lair
Hive
Den
Burrow
Bees live in hives just as birds live in nests, making "hive" the correct analogy completion.
If you have 12 apples and you give away 3, how many apples do you have left?
6
8
7
9
Subtracting the 3 apples given away from 12 leaves 9 apples.
Which word in the sentence "She studied hard because she wanted to pass" indicates a causal relationship?
although
because
and
but
The word "because" explicitly signals that her studying hard was the cause for wanting to pass.
You have two projects due at the same time but only enough time to focus on one. To decide which to prioritize, you should:
Choose the one you enjoy most
Choose the one with the best presentation
Choose the one with the highest impact
Choose the easiest one to complete
Effective decision-making weighs the potential impact of each project and prioritizes the one with the greatest benefit.
What number should replace the question mark in the sequence: 2, 5, 10, 17, ?, 37?
27
28
25
26
Differences between terms are odd numbers increasing by 2 (3,5,7,9,11). After 17, adding 9 gives 26.
When faced with a multiple-choice question where all four options seem plausible, the most effective strategy is to:
Guess randomly
Pick the first option that looks right
Choose the longest answer
Eliminate clearly incorrect options first then choose from remaining
Eliminating options you know are wrong reduces the field and increases the chance of selecting the correct answer.
What is 15% of 200?
25
20
30
35
0.15 multiplied by 200 equals 30.
"All mammals breathe air. Whales are mammals. Therefore, whales breathe air." This is an example of which type of reasoning?
Inductive reasoning
Deductive reasoning
Abductive reasoning
Analogical reasoning
Deductive reasoning applies a general premise to a specific case, leading to a certain conclusion.
You must decide between two investment options: Option A has a 5% guaranteed return, Option B has a 20% potential return but high risk. If you aim to minimize risk, which should you choose?
Option A
Avoid both options
Split investment equally
Option B
To minimize risk, choosing the guaranteed lower return is the appropriate decision.
An urn contains 3 red balls and 2 blue balls. What is the probability of drawing a blue ball at random?
0.3
0.5
0.4
0.2
There are 2 blue balls out of a total of 5, so the probability is 2/5 or 0.4.
If A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 4:5, what is the ratio A:C?
6:15
10:15
8:20
8:15
A/B = 2/3 and B/C = 4/5, so A/C = (2/3)*(4/5) = 8/15.
What letter comes next in the sequence: A, C, F, J, O, ...?
U
V
T
R
The position increments increase by 1 each time: +2, +3, +4, +5, +6 (A->C->F->J->O->U).
A course grade is calculated as 20% homework and 80% exam. If a student scores 90 on homework and 70 on the exam, what is their final grade?
78
76
72
74
Weighted score = 0.2*90 + 0.8*70 = 18 + 56 = 74.
When deciding between projects with different ROI and risk levels, the decision-making process should primarily consider:
Team size only
Project color scheme
Current market buzz
Expected return relative to risk
Balancing expected return against risk is essential for sound project selection.
In the following 3x3 grid, each column represents n, n^2, and n^3 respectively. The grid is: [[2,4,8], [3,9,27], [4,?,?]] What is the number in row 3, column 2?
16
12
64
8
Row 3, column 2 is n^2 for n=4, so 4^2 = 16.
Two fair six-sided dice are rolled. Given that the sum of the dice is a prime number, what is the probability that both dice show a 1?
1/30
2/15
1/15
1/21
Prime sums occur in 15 of 36 outcomes; only (1,1) sums to 2, so probability = 1/15.
Consider the statement: "If the roads are icy, then the bus will be late." Which of the following is the underlying assumption needed for this argument?
Icy roads cause delays in bus schedules
Buses never run on time
All roads are always icy
Bus lateness is independent of traffic
The argument assumes that icy road conditions actually lead to bus delays.
If A:B = 3:4, B:C = 5:6, and C:D = 7:8, what is the ratio A:D?
35:64
35:56
21:32
30:64
Multiply ratios: A/C = (3/4)*(5/6) = 15/24 = 5/8, then A/D = (5/8)*(7/8) = 35/64.
You must choose between two gambles. Gamble X pays $100 with probability 0.8; Gamble Y pays $150 with probability 0.6. Which gamble has the higher expected monetary value?
Gamble X
Cannot determine without more data
Both have equal value
Gamble Y
Expected value of X = 100*0.8 = 80; of Y = 150*0.6 = 90; so Gamble Y is higher.
0

Cheat Sheet

  1. Master Pattern Recognition in Sequences - Train your brain to spot numerical patterns by examining differences between consecutive terms, like 2, 6, 12, 20, 30 which increase by 4, 6, 8, and 10. This skill helps you predict the next number swiftly and boosts your confidence with series questions. Explore pattern recognition techniques
  2. Develop Logical Reasoning Skills - Hone your ability to identify relationships and draw conclusions by tackling puzzles such as "odd one out" or visual pattern challenges. Regular practice strengthens critical thinking and prepares you for a variety of reasoning questions. Sharpen your logical reasoning
  3. Utilize Multiple-Choice Test Strategies - Boost your score by reading each question carefully, eliminating obviously wrong answers, and weighing the remaining options before deciding. Employ techniques like back-solving or plugging in answer choices to validate your choice. Master multiple-choice tactics
  4. Manage Time Effectively During Exams - Allocate specific time blocks to each question or section, then leave a review buffer for double-checking your work. Sticking to a time plan prevents rushing at the end and ensures a steady pace throughout. Discover time management tips
  5. Be Cautious with Absolute Terms - Watch out for answer choices featuring words like "always," "never," or "only," since they're often too rigid and may overlook exceptions. Choosing the option with broader applicability can increase your odds of being correct. Learn when absolutes lie
  6. Practice Numerical Calculations Under Time Constraints - Simulate exam conditions by setting strict timers on arithmetic drills to build both speed and accuracy. Working against the clock trains your mind to stay calm under pressure and reduces careless mistakes. Timed calculation drills
  7. Identify Key Verbal Logic Cues in Passages - Improve reading comprehension by spotting keywords and phrases that signal cause - effect, comparisons, or definitions. Recognizing these cues helps you dissect complex paragraphs into manageable insights. Verbal logic cue guide
  8. Apply Quantitative Methods to Real-World Scenarios - Strengthen problem-solving skills by translating abstract math concepts into practical examples, such as computing interest rates or analyzing data trends. Contextual practice makes formulas more memorable and intuitive. Quantitative methods in practice
  9. Enhance Decision-Making in Complex Scenarios - Build critical thinking by weighing multiple variables and potential outcomes before choosing a course of action. Mapping pros and cons or using decision trees can clarify your thought process. Complex decision-making workbook
  10. Utilize Process of Elimination - Increase your chances of selecting the correct answer by systematically crossing out implausible options. Narrowing down choices reduces guesswork and focuses your attention on the most viable answers. Employ elimination strategies
