hi there everybody my name is Richard
McMunn from career vids and welcome to
this video which is called psychometric
tests 3d cubes now these kind of
questions appear in many different
psychometric tests especially ones where
you're required to tackle abstract or
spatial reasoning they're really good
fun to do but they are quite tough they
look really easy on face value but
they're quite difficult to tackle so
what I'm gonna do is give you some
really good tips on how to tackle these
kind of questions and then I'm gonna get
you guys to have a go if you of them
yourself like I say they're a bit of fun
so let's get straight into it so what is
a 3d cube assessment so you can see here
on the right hand side this is basically
the 3d cube net so if you made this up
which consists of 1 2 3 4 5 6 squares
you made it up you would get this one in
the bottom left hand corner so that's
the 3d cube net with the six squares and
once constructed you get that so this is
what happens you would get a question it
looks something like this
so you would have the net piece here
with the six cubes and it's got
different shapes and different colors on
it and the question it would be which 3d
cube a B or C represents the net when
constructed so what you have to do
because you're gonna be doing this under
time conditions is create this net in
your head and then decide which one out
of a B or C is the correct answer now
here's a really important tip now that
Square there and the one in the center
will always be opposite each other okay
they'll always be opposite conversely
this one here and this one will always
be opposite each other that one and that
one will also be opposite each other but
this is the core bit you'll see here
that you have a white circle with a red
outer and there's only one of them okay
so therefore it means that that black
one has to be opposite that okay which
means if you look at a here black is
actually next to it well that that's not
opposite that's next to it we would have
to see the red one on that side here in
the top right hand corner or not see at
all for that to be correct so we know
that it can't be
and it's the same here with B if you
look at that black one it's right next
to it well that can't be the case
because that would actually be on top of
this one therefore it can't be B and the
only correct answer is C okay so if you
know that if you know this one here is
always going to be opposite that one
there in the middle then you can look
for patterns quickly and and but
basically what you're doing is you're
you're using a process of elimination
when it copy that one in combat at one
so it must be that one so the correct
answer there would be C okay let's take
a look at another one so this is another
one very similar but the patterns and
the colors are different so we've got
these three options here across the top
so don't forget this has to be opposite
each other so it definitely can't be a
and it certainly can't be seen the
reason why is that if you look at these
around the outside let's assume that
this was the top there these would all
have to go around the outside they can't
be together like that so if that one
there that circle is there then that
would be correct because it has those
two around the side therefore it can
only be answer B and like I say what I
want you to do is to use a process of
elimination so decide which one it is
and and work out you'll know this when
you practice them in a second I want to
give you some monster try itself that
this one always has to be opposite that
one and that's a big clue a big giveaway
in these 3d shape questions here's
another kind of question that you might
have to tackle it says here work out
which figure is a top-down 2d view of
the 3d shape so you can see this 3d
shape here and it's given as these
answers which are the 2d ones looking
down from the top coming down so we'd be
looking down on there well the only real
answer it could be is a but a lot of
people would put B or C because they're
looking at it on the side which is not
what we want to do we want to look at it
on the top so the only answer that can
be is a okay
right now it's your turn I would go at
these you can really like them but I've
got to be honest with you I think you'll
find them a bit of a head buster
but here's the deal I'm gonna give you
seven questions for you guys to try
there is a timer now it's quite tough
you've only got 15 seconds per question
and I've included a gold timer on the
page and then put your answer to the to
each one in the comment section below
for marking now if you're struggling for
time please just pause the video and try
and work it out the important thing is
that you get them right and also by the
way if you're enjoying the video so far
I really hope you are please do give it
a thumbs up I'd very much appreciate
that and don't forget to subscribe to
the channel by clicking the link below
and then you'll get notified by me as
soon as I create more fun videos like
this straight into your inbox okay let's
get straight into it
so question number one here we go which
3d cube ABC represents the net when
constructing you've got 15 seconds
okay slightly easy one to get started if
you follow the method that I taught you
before with the opposites you should get
the answer right question number two
different kind of one it's scary you get
on with this workout which 3d shapes
from the answer figures are needed to
create the question figure so here's
your question figure here which of the
shapes a b c or d and is only one of
them do you need to create this you've
got 15 seconds please do put your answer
in the comment section below thank you
ok moving on to question number three
back to the same one now even though
these colors look very basic and simple
it does sort of get to your head after
doing these for a while they're a lot
tougher than they first appear so here
we have again a very similar one
question three which 3d cube a B or C
represents the net when constructed
please do put your answer in the comment
section below for blocking and do let me
know as well if you think the time is
not enough or it's too much some of you
might be really good at these question
number four work out which figure is a
top-down 2d view of this 3d question
figure this is a tough one let's see how
many of you get it correct so is a B C
or D C looking down from the top looking
down and which one represents about 15
seconds
okay if you still you're answering all
of these in the Tony you're doing
brilliant doing really well three to go
question five is a different one work
out which of the cubes can be made from
the net is it a B C or D so he's
different not colors now we're looking
for patterns and shapes off you go and
if you use that process of elimination
you can knock out a couple of these
straight away okay moving on question
number six back to the same one which
one a B or C can the Q be made when
constructed
so that's almost 15 seconds up and
finally one more let's see if you get
them all correct okay a little bit
different bail question number seven
which 3d cube a B or C represents this
net when constructed you've got fifteen
seconds guys
you
okay and if you've answered all of them
correctly you've done brilliantly
obviously please do put your answer in
the comment section below and also to

charge and you can use your your
smartphones as well so you can practice
these 24/7 365 days a year go as like I
say I really hope you enjoy these videos
please put your answers below I will
come on every day I always do and mark
