Another key hint if you're taking these tests they told us in GMAT preparation classes (SHL questions are a lot like GMAT's), is that you will have to logically deduce the answer in certain questions without wasting time doing the calculations because there is absolutely no way it's gonna take you less than 30s and the extra time is valuable to have for the rest of the test... Now add the probability of making an error while calculating and you're screwed... For instance in 29:54, since the candidate has already scored 60% and needs a total score of 70%, this means that he will have to answer more than 70% of the remaining questions right. Given that the only available answer greater than 70% is 75% then you can pick (D) straight away and save valuable time not doing all these calculations. These freaking tests are a lot more about time management than they are about numerical skills...

[@danielwang4274]

My brain works so different for Q1. Numbers go up by +8, +20, +38, +62. The differences between these numbers that they go up by is +12, +18, +24 (ie they go up by 6), so the next should be +62 + 30 = 92 You then add 130+92 giving you 222. I got the right answer but in a very different way.

[@cla4mc]

For 1:12:23, this is what I did: 25ml orange juice + 75ml water = 100ml total 25ml is 25% of 100ml I'm no math wiz, so I just mentally added the choices with 100ml (started with 100ml as it basically just doubles it & helps me easily determine whether to go higher or lower if it's wrong), then using a calculator multiplied the sum by 12.5%. Whichever gives the result of 25ml (orange juice) is the answer. Like this: A) 75ml + 100ml = 175ml 175ml * 12.5% = 21.88ml (wrong) B) 100ml + 100ml = 200ml 200ml * 12.5% = 25ml (correct)

[@jessicalee1277]

Bookshelf formula: F + S = 80 which is (60 - T) + (40 - T) = 80 F + T = 60; S + T = 40; T = 10. Then, F = 50 and S = 30.

[@chinny1385]

Thank you so much for this content. It was really insightful. For the last question, I used a different method to derive the answer. The difference between 32 and 15 is 17, the difference between 23 and 11 is 12. Same applies in the smaller box, the difference between 22 and 5 is 17 and so, to get the difference of 12, your answer will be 1. 13-1 = 12. Hence the answer being 1. Thought to share. Thanks again

[@axellarsson3461]

You don't actually need to calculate the pie chart. Since Petroleum is exactly 1/4th of the total and the total is 3 billion. 25% of 3 billion is 750 million.

[@suibixxn]

I calculated the Kittens and Parrots one differently. I just divided 36 legs by 15 heads, and got 2.5. Because the answer options had more parrots than kittens, I split the 2.5 into 2 and .5. 2 is 4x .5, so the answer had to be Parrots 4x Kittens, which only left the 3 kittens and 12 parrots option.

I have a query for the question at 1:16:28 , my answer for which of the shapes is out of place is option C and the rationale is that i) Firstly all the semi-circle touch the sides of the square (does not matter if its on the side of center) ii) However it is the odd one out becuase its the only shape where the triangle is appearing on the bottom half of the diagram Wanted to know if that logic makes sense instead of Option D (which was presented as the answer?

Can you explain again why the black dot went to upper left corner for Cube on Pattern question on 42:48? Thank you.

I was wondering at first too, but I'm assuming it's a matter of the dot just alternating between being outside and inside of the shape, regardless of which corner it goes to (maybe its purpose is to trick/confuse)

For PEMDAS you have to multiply before you divide and so therefore the correct answer is 2, it cannot be 8. 16/4(2)=2 not 8

[@ferdelance.]

multiplication and division have the same authority, the rule is it's simply done left to right.

[@coldbear655]

​@robl3201 I punched it in the calculator and I got 2....are you saying the calculator is programmed wrong...cause I thought we start with multiplication.

[@willsouza8092]

The expression 16/4(3-1) can be simplified following the standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which stands for Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders (i.e., powers and square roots, etc.), Multiplication and Division (left-to-right), and Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right). Let's break down the expression step by step: Start with the parentheses/brackets: (3-1) equals 2. So, the expression becomes 16/4(2). Next, perform the multiplication and division from left to right: 16/4 = 4. Now, the expression is 4(2). Finally, perform the multiplication: 4 * 2 = 8. So, 16/4(3-1) simplifies to 8.@@coldbear655

[@tjjang4140]

Orange juice 12.5% solution should be 150ml water? isn't it? because 1:3 ration juice and water makes 25% so to make it to 12.5% water ration has to be double which makes it to 150ml?. Why is it 100ml of water?

[@ferdelance.]

25ml/100ml = 25% orange 25ml/200ml = 12.5% orange So 100ml needs to be added to take the total to 200ml.

[@goncaloafonso6652]

@@ferdelance. But there is already 75ml the water in there, so it should add 125ml while keeping the 25ml of orange in there.

[@ferdelance.]

@@goncaloafonso6652 you need to be thinking about the total amount of liquid, rather than the proportion of water. The percentage of orange juice is taken as a percentage of the total amount of liquid, not the amount of water. 25ml (OJ) + 75ml (water) gives a solution of 100ml. The percentage of this solution that is OJ is 25%. If you were to add 125ml of water to this solution, you would now have a solution that is 225ml in TOTAL, still containing 25ml OJ as no OJ is being added. This would be an OJ percentage of 25ml/225ml = 11.11%. Hope this helps.

I worked it out a different way. I looked at the differences between the numbers, and saw a pattern. The differences are 8, 20, 38, 62.. And then looked at the differences in those numbers, which are 12,18, and 24, which are all going up in sixes. So the next one in that series is 30. So the next increment is 92. 92 + 130 = 222.

[@obidataji7150]

dude thanks for the effort of getting and solving these questions. However, just so people know, there are some of your solutions that are totally wrong. the siple question of 16 divided by 4*(3-1), the answer is 2 not 8. you can use any calculator to verify this. Another thing, your question about anna and her brother's age, your solution does give the correct answer, however, by chance. the2nd equation you formed from the 2 years ago fact is wrong. it should be (B-2)=3/4(A-2). Thats because it 2 years ago. you cant just say B=3/4A. I didnt complete the whole video yet so idk if there are more incorrect solutions

[@apachekafka773]

Maybe you should look up BODMAS and listen to the explanation. incase you dont know. Not all calculators give the same result. Some accept the fact that the flow should be from left to right others dont. By adopting B=3/4A, it is assummed we are already in the same year. Which is why 2 was added to make it 14 before adding 5 to get our 19. So far all youve pointed out are not wrong but some how you believe in your logic that you went this route.
