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.

Thank you! one of the only few materials (quickly available online in English) I found to study for these types of questions for the UN exams. Appreciated.

at the age of late 40's , decided to go back to school with psychological course., that is why I am here. And it gives me a lot of knowledge. Thank You million times for this video.

Q1 - C; Singular / Group changes in seq or patt Q2 - B; Singular / Group changes in seq or patt & Application of rules Q3 - C; Singular / Group changes in seq or patt Thanks a lot!

For the sequences and patterns: I try to find one concrete rule and then eliminate as many answers as possible from that. Then look at the difference between the remaining answers and find a new rule relating to that difference. Rinse and repeat until there's only one answer left.

I know I am watching this 4 years later but i really want to say your videos are so helpful I have managed to understand them easily with these videos

Your video opened my eyes to a whole new understanding of these types of tests. Thank you so much!

It would be great if you provide the answers or a link to the answers, so we can check if we got them right.

Passed my inductive reasoning test for a senior management position. Couldn't have done it without you Richard.

You are the man. Got a military aptitude test coming up and your really helping me out

I am a french student and I have to pass a serie of test (mechanical reasoning, numerical etc) to be accepted for an internship at BNP Paribas Bank As soon as I received the mail I came here to learn more about the different types of questions that I could find Your explanations are very clear I think you re the best professor adapted to coach students or futur employees Thanks a lot

Many thanks for these examples and tutorials. I am always embarrassed and worried about this type of test and my lack of aptitude in answering in assessments previously has been a constant worry. Thank you for at least allowing me to face the challenges and come with a gameplan. It is a really motivational and practical tutorial and I really appreciate your efforts.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!!!!!!

I had a test and u just saved my WHOLE CAREER by helping me PASS

So clear and makes it seem possible for me to pass the next test! Thank you!

this was SO incredibly helpful! thank you so so much for your amazing content. you've made the impossible, possible :D

You are a good man for providing this explanation! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the tutorial this is the first time ever I understand how to solve these patterns!

I'm subscribing I have a test to write and I was so clueless about all this until I watched your video. Thank you so much you made it all easy

So helpful. Thank you so much! Taking a Matrigma test for a job later this week 😬

So very helpful! Thank you for taking the time. Truly appreciate it! :-)

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.

C, B, C Thank you this was helpful. I can't really reiterate the rules, but it helped me identify which different rules to look for.

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?

Great! Thanks a lot. Could you suggest where can these kinds of tests can be practiced? Maybe a site or textbook. Thank you. Maria.

I have done 1 of these tests 20 years ago and had zero idea of what I was doing. This material makes it looks much easier to understand...stop over thinking and look at the basics. I have done 4 more Grammar and Numerical tests within 10 years, failing grade. Good luck everyone on your future tests.

This is amazing thank you so much Richard! Will start the test now for my application tomorrrow. Thanks a lot :)

q1: c, decreasing number of lines and position of lines q2: b, increasing by 2s, and shaded line alternates directions q3: c, small black square rotates clockwise, lines on 2 circles alternates directions

Oh boy! going through these tutorials is like opening a treasure box! so valuable. Thank you Mr. McMunn

Thank you very much, i have always had difficulty in answering these questions but you have made it simple for to under how to approach it. I wish i watched your video earlier but thank you once again

Excellent video! This is exactly what I needed.

thanks for posting this honestly, hell of a good job you have done explaining these crazy difficult concepts and your videos have been AMAZING

i find difficult to answer but you're so great teacher thank you!

After this "intro" everthing become so clear and easy to solve .. Thank you !

Thank you for all these examples and tutorials, they help me a lot.

I passed i cannot believe it thank you, you are a big help

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?

I lost the a job with the same pattern some time in somalia, waaw, i never noticed the what the answer might have since then. I noticed today, many thanks Richard.

Thank you for your time and effort I have a test coming up so thanks 😊

C: group changes in a pattern or sq; B: group changes in sq or patterns/rotation of objects/ , C: rotation of objects/Group changes in sq and patterns/application of rules

Thanks or the help sir really appreciate it

Thank you so much for putting this video very very helpfull... May god bless you!! Thank you careervidz

Thank you Richard.

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!

This really helped me thsnk you so much it helped a lot.

Love the blog, Josh! 🎉 Cant wait forr thenext one

Thanks for this tutorial it's really helping and giving me the idea

I got C for question 1, B for question 2 and C for question 3. Thank you so much for helping and I find your videos very useful

you are an amazing tutor

This was really helpful, thank you so much!

Thank you soooo much These vids helped me get into the top class and I am so grateful

Q3:C thanks for 3 sample god bless

Q1: its C

These make my brain explode! Thanks for the free instruction and practice! 1) B group change, 2) D, 3) C movement and I'm not sure....

I'm so grateful for your tutorials......I'm preparing for Nlng assessment,I would appreciate your help on this

Thank you very much. It helped me a lot in quite easily profferring answers. My only concern is timing...kinda spent an average of 1.30mins on each, perhaps I'd improve as I practice more. My answers are C(change of rules, that is the vertical and horizontal lines), B(change in patterns and direction of the checked objects) C(rotation of some sorts...pattern)

I understood 1 & 3 pretty fast but had to come back to #2, until it made sense! C, B, C! Thank you!

I literally only understand this now because of you - thankyou!

Excellent. Thank you very much

1. c (singular changes, I think) 2. b (group changes and application of rules) 3. c (group changes and rotation)

thank you youve helped me a lot especially since I've got my 11+ soon

Thank you Richard

This is helpful

Answers are: C, B, C. Thanks alot

Thanks you so much for this!

Hi Mr.Richard, how are things with you? I do appreciate your understandable lectures

Thank u so much ❤️❤️i really understand now abstract

Before watching your video i was always afraid oy verbal questions. Now, i feel that i can do them. At first, i am slow but with practice, i will be able to be better.

thanks for your efforts ..Love to go through more please.

This was very helpful. I was lost with these non-verbal reasoning questions until I watched your video.

Question 1 is D

Q.3 C

Thank you! Great practice!

c, group changes, d, group changes in seq or pattern, b, shaded square moves anti clockwise and sequence and patterns

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee u rlly helped me pass the grammer school test i rlly appreshate what u do

keep on doing vids like this man u r helping loads of ppl in this world eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

this has helped so much thanks

This is a great help!!

C (6 verticle and 6 horizontal lines) as every following shape reduces 1 line each B (2 circles and the lines are towards left) and black circle C (Black Square is moving 180 degree and the lines are moving outward) Thank you.

Hi Richard, Coming monday having an Assessment test. Thank you for sharing! Very good tips! Here my answers: questions 1:c 2:b 3:c. 👍would love to test more. Thanks again! Greetings, Shirley

C-B-C 🎉 Thank you so much that was helpful ❤

How do you tell wich rule to apply at the second example? I would say E is the correct answer since a rule could be that the colored figure hasn't been used before ( in this case E since non of the previous figures has had an colured square)

The video clears my worries and anxieties. Thanks for the tips. Q1: C (group changes in pattern) a reduction in 1 vertical and diagonal line as the sequence progressed. Q2: D (application of rules, rotation and movement of objects) the object increase in even number, shaded and black dots are even in each box but the shaded pattern alternate for the shaded dots. each box is started with shaded dot. Q3: C (singular change in sequence, the black square rotates anticlockwise, the shaded circle alternate patterns but the last pattern in one box is the same pattern in next box.

Please in other videos, kindly put the answers at the end of the whole questions to enable us be sure we answered correctly. My answers are 1. C, there were group changes in pattern 2. B, there were singular changes in pattern and application of rules 3. C, there were application of rules, group changes and singular changes in pattern. Thanks

This is really good to help me with my test

You save my .....:))sure i pass the test now!!!. Thank you very much!!!

Q2: its B sir wow its blow!! My mind if i don't notice the line inside the circles of B and D i can't answer this because the B ang D its same answer but not same line...its takes me 2 mins to answer...hahaha thanks sir

I'm applying for the Royal navy. I find reasoning and mechanical compression and maths the hardest

Great video, preparing for a Wonderlic assessment. Bravo.

Best tips and explanation ever.. So grateful Man. Thanks

There’s actually another rule to the example where “the object with most sides is shaded”. The rule I used was that the center object is always a new one that hasn’t been used in any of the previous sequences. That also gave out the correct answer :) Thanks for the video, it really helped me out.

Thanks for the video. Great lessons 1) C -- Group changes in sequence or pattern 2) B-- Group changes in sequence or pattern, Application of specific rules 3) C - Group changes in sequence and patterns, Rotation or movement of objects, Application of specific rules.

sir I really understand and appreciate your learning skills .plz upload more and more question related to french legion 🤗

Because of ur videos i think I’ll pass my non verbal reasoning test for kingsdale

I’m doing a verbal reasoning test on Saturday

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.

thanks alot t your explanation videos realy helped me get this cleared

Thanks the video really helped me
