How to practise reasoning.
- 1
Draw it
For direction, ranking and seating questions, a small sketch turns a puzzle into a picture.
- 2
Write the alphabet once
A-Z with positions 1 to 26 written out saves time and slips in every letter question.
- 3
Learn the odd-day trick
Calendar questions come down to counting odd days. Learn the rule once and it works every time.
- 4
Take it one step at a time
Do not do two moves in your head. Write each step, especially in direction and relation questions.
- 5
Redo your mistakes after a week
Repeat the questions you got wrong after a few days. That is when a trick either sticks or fades.
