In the sentence 'The committee will approuve the design.', which word is misspelled?
will
approuve
design
committee
The word 'approuve' is incorrect because the correct spelling is 'approve'. All other words are spelled correctly.
How many times does the letter 'A' (case-insensitive) appear in the word 'Abracadabra'?
5
4
3
6
Counting both uppercase and lowercase 'A's in 'Abracadabra' yields five occurrences. No other letter appears that many times.
Which number does not fit the pattern of even numbers in the series: 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12?
11
6
2
12
All numbers in the sequence are even except 11, which is odd. The rest follow the pattern of even integers.
In the list ['apple', 'banana', 'appple', 'grape'], which entry is spelled incorrectly?
banana
appple
apple
grape
The correct spelling of 'apple' uses two p's. The entry 'appple' has three p's, making it incorrect.
Identify the word that needs an apostrophe in the sentence: "Well get started on the project now."
Well
project
started
get
The word 'Well' should be written as 'We'll' to contract 'we will'. No other word in the sentence requires an apostrophe.
In the series of product codes ['AB123', 'AB124', 'AB125', 'AC123'], which code mismatches the pattern?
AB125
AB123
AC123
AB124
The first three codes share the prefix 'AB'. 'AC123' differs with 'AC', breaking the pattern of identical initial letters.
Which date is formatted differently from the others?
2023-11-05
2023/11/05
05-11-2023
20231105
The first two use ISO format with separators and the fourth is the compact ISO form. '05-11-2023' uses day-month-year order, making it different.
In the sentence 'The results show that the the sample size was sufficient.', which word is duplicated?
show
the
results
sample
The word 'the' appears twice in a row ('the the'), making it a duplicated word. All other words appear only once.
In the chronological list of events, which date breaks the ascending order? ['01 Feb 2023', '15 Mar 2023', '10 Jan 2023', '20 Apr 2023']
01 Feb 2023
15 Mar 2023
20 Apr 2023
10 Jan 2023
'10 Jan 2023' occurs before '01 Feb 2023', but it is listed third. This breaks the proper ascending chronological sequence.
In the sequence ['AB', 'BC', 'CD', 'DE', 'EF', 'FG', 'EH', 'GH'], which entry is incorrect?
FG
DE
EH
EF
Each pair represents consecutive letters in the alphabet (e.g., A→B, B→C, etc.). 'EH' skips from E to H, breaking the consecutive pattern.
Which version of the contraction for 'they are' is correctly spelled?
Their
Thier
They're
There
'They're' is the correct contraction of 'they are'. 'Their' and 'there' are different words, and 'thier' is a misspelling.
Among these phone number formats, which lacks any separators?
(123)456-7890
1234567890
123-456-7890
123.456.7890
The string '1234567890' contains no spaces, hyphens, periods, or parentheses, unlike the other formatted entries.
Which time entry is formatted differently from the others?
8:00am
11:00am
9:00 AM
10:00am
'9:00 AM' uses an uppercase 'AM' with a space. The others use a lowercase 'am' without any space.
Which number is not a palindrome?
14741
16261
15351
17657
A palindromic number reads the same forwards and backwards. '17657' reversed is '75671', which does not match the original.
Which of the following sentences shows correct subject-verb agreement?
A pack of wolves were hunting.
The list of items are on the desk.
Neither of the books were available.
Each of the players has a number.
The subject 'Each' is singular, so it correctly pairs with the singular verb 'has'. The other sentences misuse singular/plural agreement.
In the binary sequence ['0001','0010','0011','0100','0101','0110','0111','1000','1001','1010','1011','1100','1101','1111','1110'], which entry is out of ascending order?
1110
1111
0011
1101
After '1101' (13), the next ascending value should be '1110' (14). Instead '1111' (15) appears first, breaking the correct order.
In the list of currency formats, which entry is not a standard convention for its region?
€1.234,56
£1,234.56
$1,234.56
¥1,234.56
Japanese yen amounts are not expressed with decimal fractions, so displaying '¥1,234.56' is nonstandard for that currency.
Convert 2 hours and 30 minutes to total seconds. Which is correct?
7200
10800
9300
9000
2 hours = 7200 seconds and 30 minutes = 1800 seconds. Summing them gives 9000 seconds in total.
When rounding the number 2.345 to two decimal places, what is the correctly rounded value?
2.35
2.36
2.34
2.33
The third decimal digit is 5, which causes the second decimal digit (4) to round up to 5, yielding 2.35.
In the sentence 'Running quickly, the gate was reached by John.', which part is a misplaced modifier?
the gate
Running quickly
by John
was reached
The phrase 'Running quickly' is intended to describe John but is attached to 'the gate', making it a misplaced modifier.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Practice Mindfulness to Enhance Focus - Engage in mindfulness exercises, such as guided deep breathing or body scans, to train your brain to concentrate on the present moment and filter out distractions. Over time, this deliberate practice can strengthen your attention muscles and boost mental clarity, making study sessions more productive. Make it fun by using colorful timers or apps that reward you for staying present. Learn more
  2. Implement the Pomodoro Technique - Work in focused sprints of 25 minutes followed by 5-minute breaks to keep your brain sharp and avoid burnout. Turning these bursts into mini-games can make studying feel like play, and you'll be amazed at how much you accomplish when you race the clock. Keep track of your sessions to gamify your progress. Learn more
  3. Prioritize Tasks Using the Eisenhower Matrix - Sort your tasks into urgent versus important to determine what needs attention first and what can wait or be delegated. Tackling the most critical tasks early helps you stay on top of deadlines and reduces stress. This simple grid guide will become your secret weapon for laser-focused productivity. Learn more
  4. Engage in Regular Physical Activity - Daily exercise, whether it's a quick jog or a fun dance break, boosts blood flow to the brain and turbocharges concentration. You'll find that complex concepts sink in faster after a wind-down stretch or short workout. Aim for at least 20 minutes to unlock your sharpest thinking. Learn more
  5. Ensure Adequate Sleep - Getting 7 - 8 hours of quality sleep is like charging your mental batteries - wake up refreshed and ready to tackle tough problems. Consistent sleep routines help your brain consolidate memories and process new information more efficiently. Try a relaxing bedtime ritual like reading a comic or gentle yoga to prepare your mind for rest. Learn more
  6. Stay Hydrated - Sip water throughout the day to keep your brain cells happy and firing on all cylinders. Even mild dehydration can lead to brain fog and slower recall, so keep a stylish reusable bottle at your desk. Spice things up with fruit-infused water to make hydrating a tasty habit. Learn more
  7. Limit Multitasking - Focusing on a single task at a time prevents your brain from bouncing between thoughts and losing steam. Multitasking might feel productive, but it actually slows you down and raises the chance of mistakes. Treat your brain like a laser pointer - aiming at one point yields the brightest beam. Learn more
  8. Take Regular Short Breaks - Short, structured breaks reboot your attention span and ward off fatigue. Stand up, stretch, or bust out a quick dance move for 2 minutes before diving back in. Your study stamina will thank you as breaks become a secret superpower. Learn more
  9. Practice Meditation - Daily meditation - even just 5 minutes - can stretch your attention span and dial down stress levels. Simple breathing techniques or a quick guided session can rewire your brain for better focus and relaxation. Start small and build a calm, clear mind ready for deep learning. Learn more
  10. Manage Stress Levels - Stress can be a sneaky focus thief, but you can outsmart it with techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or progressive muscle relaxation. Regularly checking in with how you feel and addressing tension early keeps your cognitive powers in top shape. Turn stress-busters into fun rituals, like a quick laugh or stretching break, to stay calm under pressure. Learn more
