So I had to do this test for a grad scheme application the other day.. was 90 minutes and horrible. Third part was on logical reasoning, 30 qs in 25 mins, and some of them were ridiculous. I screenshotted a couple of harder ones and thought there might be people here who'd get a kick out of them haha. I think I have the answer to these.. took me until way after the test had finished though, no idea what I put at the time Laughing




Fair play if you can get them in less than a minute..

I'm awful at these kinds of thing, but I enjoy the explanations. Care to spoil it?

Mistyped! Meant D! Feeling dumb now.

The dot moves clockwise to the next corner each turn, and the line turns 45 degrees anticlockwise every two turns.

With the first one I keep getting distracted by the possible symbolic meaning of the arrow, even though it's probably just an arbitrary shape. Still can't find the pattern though.

A kind of fits too. You can see the arrow's top bottom pattern and discard B and D. Then C's not a number. If the arrow is white, number doesn't change. If the arrow is black, number changes with the direction of the arrow. I favored E over A because the arrow pattern is W, B, B, W, B, _ and the direction pattern is U, D, D, U, U, _ so the most fitting shape would be a B, D number 4 with the arrow on top.
