Sample questions with worked solutions

A few questions from this test, with the answer key and the method behind it. The full set of 12 runs under a timer, and every solution is on the analysis screen once you submit.

General Intelligence & Reasoning · solved example

Book is to Author as Painting is to ____.

  • Canvas
  • ArtistCorrect
  • Museum
  • Colour

Solution

A book is created by an author, so a painting is created by an artist. Canvas, museum and colour are materials or places, not the creator, so they break the relationship.

General Intelligence & Reasoning · solved example

  • 27
  • 64
  • 100Correct
  • 125

Solution

8, 27, 64 and 125 are the perfect cubes of 2, 3, 4 and 5. 100 is a perfect square but not a perfect cube, so it is the odd one out.

Because a blank carries no penalty, guessing only pays when you can eliminate at least two options. The analysis screen after the test shows you exactly where guessing cost you marks.
