I would really like to thank you for your demonstration. I did my military test a few years back. I was under prepared , didn't have no guidance towards what was the test about or how it was solved in it's algorithms. I also had my basic math. When I entered the test center with confidence without studying, lets just say even though I have the pre-requisites, my confidence is no longer there.. Learn from me because I messed up the first time. Never enter the military test without being prepared. Be prepared in English, math, Spatial, Verbal. Thank you for your help.

In the second example another rule also applies. In each consecutive square, second shape is something new that's not present in any of the previous squares. So, as per rule #1, correct answer has to be B or E. Then if you apply this third rule, result would be again B.

I know it's an old video but still relevant to this day. I just did my SOVA test and your insights really helped me. I kept thinking though, how do these tests correlate to a better employee, especially the logical reasoning test. have there been reliable studies on the matter? My test didn't have a time limit but they say you should complete with 15 minutes, which is impossible without hours of training. Even the verbal reasoning seems to be less relevant for higher level positions: they force you to only read the text and not take in your actual life experience and knowledge. I had to constantly remind myself to focus on the text only and even if my experience told me the answer was obvious, I had to stick to the text.

[@romkemichelle3985]

First, thank you for your video! It really helps with practicing. I had a question about the second practice exercise. My answer would have been D, because I thought the pattern for the first figure was 3-sides, 4-sides, 3-sides, 4-sides, etc. And then lastly, when you would apply the rule of the figure with the most sides shaded, this would also be true for D. Could you perhaps explain to me why this (D) is the wrong answer?

Late but look how the stripes are angled in question 2. They alternate through each picture, which is why it would be B, the stripes face left, following the pattern of the stripes facing towards the right and left alternating.

C, B, C. First one: one line less in vertical and horizontal. Last figure shows 7 and 7, so you're looking for the one with 6 and 6 (C). Second one: the ratio is 2:1 between the circles in the different pictures (figure 1 as 2, figure 3 has 4, figure 4 has 6). So you want one with two circles in. At this point, you notice that the pattern is always full and stripes. Last thing to notice is the direction of the stripes, which is always in alternation (B). Last one: the small square inside the figure always rotates of 90 degrees. The pattern inside the figures is in alternation (stripes up, stripes down), as well as the direction of the stripes inside the circle (right-left). So the answer is C. Am I correct?

Thanks for this tutorial, although I'm still confused on the first example. I've written exams countless times and failed and you came in to lighten my heart. Thanks so much, I'll continue watching other tutorials to perfect in it. Let's go back to the given task, the answer is "C". From the pattern each line from horizontal to vertical consists of ten (10) lines and for each option a single line is removed from horizontal to vertical. Therefore, from the lines in the question, I'll say 'C' is the correct answer because, it is 6 lines vertical and horizontal. Question 2 is B Question 3 is C Thank you!

Little doubt about example #2: Rule 2 is based on the observation that the element having more angles is shaded. Now, I could have found out a different "Rule 2*": In every figure we must have a small triangle. There is no reason to prefer rule 2 to rule 2*, it's just depending on which property we find out first. This is a problem, because solution B satisfies rule 2 but not rule 2*, the other way around solution A satisfies rule 2* but not rule 2. In conclusion, I can't figure out how I should give priority to a certain rule or to the other.

[@AutoRiff]

Because the 2* solution foregoes the rule where the final shape in the previous square becomes the first shape in the next square. I think. As a last resort, I'll prioritize the solution that incorporates the most number of rules that logically follow a sequence.

[@samgrutzius686]

I thought the same thing, my rules were all of them need to have a small triangle in it, 2nd was the shaded shape never repeats, and that the last one is the first one in the next.
