Logical Reasoning Guide

What Logical Reasoning Tests

Logical reasoning measures how well you identify patterns, test assumptions, and follow rules. It is common in screening tests because it shows problem-solving ability independent of job-specific knowledge.

Common Areas

• Number and letter sequences.
• Analogies and classifications.
• Seating and ordering arrangements.
• Assumption and conclusion questions.
• Visual pattern logic.

Practice Method

When stuck, write the rule in plain language. For example: plus 2, then plus 4, then plus 6. For arrangements, draw a simple table or row and fill only facts you know for sure.

Exam Tip

If a pattern has two possible rules, test both against every item in the sequence before choosing.
