Mastering Abstract Reasoning Tests

everybody my name is Richard McMunn from the psychometric testing website past my job test comm and in this tutorial I'm going to teach you the best way to pass an abstract reasoning test map please do stick around and watch this tutorial from beginning to end because I'm going to walk through in a slow pace how to tackle abstract reasoning tests I'm gonna give you some brilliant tips and tricks for answering them quickly and more importantly I will get you to try some as well so the important thing to know from the get-go is what an abstract reasoning test is so the question is what is an abstract reasoning test well an abstract reasoning test assesses your ability to quickly identify patterns rules and different trends usually in shapes so we will be presenting with a series of shapes and we have to decide which shape comes next in the sequence now there are different types of abstract reasoning tests and I will work through all of them within this tutorial but this forms the basis of an abstract reasoning test question so let's take a look at one work through it together in slow pace so you understand exactly what you need to do and then I will get you to try some yourself so question 1 which shape comes next in the sequence now you can see that we are presented with four squares all with different shapes inside and different colors black and white so these are designed to confuse you and then you are presented with different answer options is a B C or D so if you look at this as it is presented it looks very confusing now the important thing you need to do with any abstract reasoning test is to first of all ignore the answer options don't look at the answer options focus purely on the sequence of shapes and the first thing to do is to look for a pattern so always work with the shape on the left hand side first of all and then work across and look for a pattern so as it progresses along the sequence you will see that each shape moves up and across anti clockwise or counter clockwise as it moves along so it goes from there today - there as it moves around the sequence so the first thing is that look at that shape there it then moves in the second part - there then moves up one then moves up another one so that is our pattern so the first thing you need to do when tackling abstract reasoning tests is to identify a pattern or a trend and you can see there why it's so important not to look and the answer options yet so identify a pattern or a trend the second step is to then eliminate obvious incorrect answers and this will speed up your ability to answer abstract reasoning test questions significantly so your identify the pattern eliminate any obvious incorrect answers and then select the correct one so let's do that now so with which shape comes next in a sequence a B C or D so what we need to do is to look for any of these shapes that have that one there because that's where it will be in the next pattern or straightaway I can see that a and B are eliminated so I would knock them out straight away so let's get rid of a and get rid of B and we're left with C and D now all we need to do is to work out which one is incorrect in that sequence and I can see straight away that that upside-down triangle should actually be the other way up so the correct answer is D and trust me if you follow that three-step process of identifying the pattern then eliminating the answers and then choosing the correct one from what's left you will be able to smash these abstract reasoning test questions so now it's your turn to have a go let's make sure you fully understand what is required so please put your answer to question two in the comment section below the video for marking and we'll common eight each day and mark them for you so question two which shade comes next in the sequence is it a B C or D I have placed a timer here on the right hand side now this timer is 15 seconds if you can answer this in 15 seconds you are doing really well because that is a tough time frame now if you do find that the timer is too short don't worry about it just pause the video because it's important that you understand process get that three-step in place and you'll be able to smash these abstract reasoning tests so don't forget identify the pattern eliminate any incorrect answers and then choose the correct one so select your answer from a B C or D and put it in the comments section below here's a time okay brilliant well done now you will get to try some more of these as we go through the tutorial but let's try a different type of abstract reasoning test question this is question three which shape comes next in the sequence so we are presented before Domino like looking shapes and then we have to decide which one comes here now again you can see these shapes they look quite confusing and if we then throw into the mix the different answer options of a B C and D or we are presented with is a lot of Domino shapes with black dots on them so what we have to do again is to focus on eliminating the answer options and in identifying our trend or our pattern now these patterns in this kind of abstract reasoning test question usually work their way ivar across the top and also the bottom or the pattern might go from top left to bottom top sorry bottom to top top to bottom and then across the bottom row start at the bottom go to the top top to bottom bottom to top and it would alternate like that so already you have an understanding of how the pattern might operate so identify your pattern eliminating correct answer options and choose the correct answer from the ones that are left so with this particular sequence if we look at the top pattern it goes from 2 to 4 to 2 to 4 therefore there must be 2 there well straight away we can see that B is an incorrect answer that we can eliminate so it's either a C or D and then if we work across the bottom we have a pattern of 5 4 3 2 therefore it must be 1 so the correct answer there is a because we've eliminated B and we can therefore eliminate C and D so you can see here now when you follow that pattern a 3 step pattern you will be on to be able to answer these really really quickly so the answer option there is a now it's your turn to have a go of one of these please put your answer to question 4 in the comment section below the video for marking so which shape comes next in the sequence is it a B C or D put your answer in the comment section below the video here's brilliant fantastic I want you to have another girl at one of these please just to make sure you fully understand what is required so it's your turn to have a go at number one this time put your answer to question five in the comments section below the video for marking so which shade comes next in the sequence now this is a tough one if you get this right I've increased the timer to 17 seconds here so I'm giving you two more seconds to try it which doesn't sound very generous but I want to put you under a little bit of pressure because that's how you will improve in abstract reasoning tests so which show comes next in the sequence a B C or D here's your time excellent well done and don't forget if you do need more time just simply pause the video it's important you understand how to answer them now I still have a large number of these to run through so please do stick around but when you are ready if you click that link in the top right hand corner of the video it will take you through to my past my job test comm website where you can get access to 500 aptitude test questions and answers so you can try these on your phone your laptop or your computer is a brilliant resource if you have to undertake any kind of job test by the way when you go through to the page take a note of coupon code VIP 99 and you can get a massive 80% off VIP 99 right let's move on a tougher one now abstract reasoning test question question number 6 which shape comes next in the sequence is it a B C or D and again most people who look at these will think wow these are confusing I have no idea how to tackle them but we are going to use our process we are going to look for one pattern don't look at all the different shapes look for a pattern on one particular shape so if we take that arrow there as this sequence progresses it moves round clockwise and then rotates 90 degrees so it's going around there and it also goes from black to dotted from black to dotted so therefore we're gonna be looking for one there that is black so straight away we can eliminate C because it hasn't got one there then we choose another part of the secret of the shape so let's choose that triangle on the top you'll see there it's going counter clockwise or anti clockwise it's going from black to strike to white from black therefore we want one there which would be a stripe the next time around because that's the pattern so we're getting really good now our identifying patterns well the only one that it's got there is D across the bottom so therefore we can quickly eliminate a and B and the correct answer is D so you can see here if you get access to those 500 test questions you become really good at abstract reasoning test really really good because you can practice you know under time conditions on the go and get really good at them so now it's your turn tap one of these please put your answer to question 7 in a comment section below the video for marking so which shape comes next in the sequence don't forget to look for a pattern here you see a B C or D he if you get this correct you're doing really well here's a timer fantastic brilliant well done right let's now try a different type of abstract reasoning test question which shape is the odd one out so again we look at these and we think core these are confusing but step one identify any obvious trends we already know how to do that lemonade any shapes that don't meet the trend and then choose the correct answer so from here we can see that on B and C and D there is a black bandits on stage with one triangle in it well the correct answer here is a because it doesn't have that in it so that is the correct answer for this one so now it's your turn please put your answer to question nine in the comment section below the video for marking which shape is the odd one out is it a B C or D and here's your time brilliant well done so now what you need to do is get access to pass my job test comm I'll show you the website in a second but if you use coupon code 99 on this page here okay there's 500 plus questions you also get the course to teach you how to pass aptitude tests and literally so at the moment it's $4.99 $4.99 like OOP on and and that drops right down okay I've got too many in there bear with me update the cart it turns it a shop let me just quickly show you this again I just want to show you that this actually works so by now had added too many too and right coupon code VIP 99 apply coupon drops it down look drops it right down to literally one pound fourteen or one dollar so it's definitely worth getting access to that 500 test questions practice on the go we don't make a huge difference thanks for watching I hope you've enjoyed that and I wish you all the best for passing your abstract reasoning test have a brilliant
