hi there everybody my name is Richard
McMunn and in this tutorial I am gonna
teach you how to past abstract reasoning
test questions now I have been inundated
with requests for more of these type of
questions they are very very good fun to
work through and they are also an
integral part of any kind of
psychometric test so before we get
straight into the answers and the
questions and work through them my name
is Richard McMunn and in this video I'm
specifically going to teach you how to
pass abstract reasoning tests don't
forget as always please do make sure you
subscribe to this channel by clicking
the red button below the video that way
you won't miss out on any of the free
training resources that I do and I'm
doing them now every single week if you
do like these videos please don't forget
to give the video a thumbs up and that
motivates me to do videos for you every
week I love doing them now and helping
you to pass your tests okay you are also
gonna get these slides at some stage so
stick around watch the video from
beginning to end so I'll tell you where
you can download them and I am also
going to give you access to my free
online testing suite so do stick around
ok let's get straight into the first
abstract reasoning test question which
figure comes next in the sequence which
figure comes next in the sequence so
what we need to do is to look for
sequences and patterns and if you
practice these in in abundance if you do
lots of these then you will become very
competent at passing and tackling these
type of questions so is it a is it B is
it C or is it D and I'm gonna work
through these and explain how to come to
the right answer
so which figure comes next in the
sequence so if you look lovely the
circle starting at the top left of the
first square the blue one moves half a
place clockwise around the square each
time whilst also alternating between
being blue and also white with a black
outline so if you look there it's blue
now it's white with a black outline blue
and also white with a black outline so
we're actually looking for a blue circle
in the bottom right hand corner and you
will also notice that
number of blue lines in each square
increases by one each time so if you
look in the top left square the first
one these one then in the second one is
two three four so we're looking for
something with five lines in so we're
looking for a blue circle in the bottom
right hand corner of the square and also
five blue lines and if we look from
answer options a B C or D the correct
answer is of course C really simple when
you practice these you will look for
different patterns and sequences and
like I say if you do loads of these test
questions you will become extremely
competent at answering them okay so the
answer to that is C now it's your turn
what I'd like you to do I'm gonna put up
a question for you in a second please
post your answer to that question in the
comment section below so question number
two here's my answer one thing that you
can do to really improve your scores is
to use a timer so if you time yourself
for each question and make the time
really tight then you will increase your
scores dramatically and it's great
practice so question number two which
figure comes next in the sequence is it
a is it B is it C or is it D now there's
the timer on the right hand side I'm
gonna give you about 13 seconds to
answer this not very long at all now if
you do need a bit longer please make
sure you pause the video because that
will give you more time to make sure you
get the question correct so which figure
comes next in the sequence off you go
so well done make sure you post your
answer to question two and I will come
online on Iran YouTube everyday and I
will answer them for you moving on to
question number three again which figure
comes next in the sequence is it a is it
B is it C or is it D ok now let's again
look for patterns and sequences if you
look at the first one on the left you
can see we've got a green l-shape
pattern and as it progresses it rotates
180 degrees and goes to the top left so
it starts bottom left top left it goes
back to bottom left and then back to the
top left so we're looking for something
green in the bottom left you look at the
next sequence on the top right hand side
you've got the already inverted l-shape
which then in the next sequence moves
down to an l-shape inverted 180 degrees
because back to the top comes back to
the bottom and you will also notice as
well that the number of blue lines
within each square is decreasing by one
each time so it starts at five then it
goes down to four then 3 then 2 so we're
looking for something with 1 in there so
we're actually looking for a square
which contains one blue line with a
green L shape in the bottom left hand
corner and a blue one in the top right
hand corner and the correct answer of
course is a really simple as we go
through this video we are going to
actually increase the difficulty for you
so you get to practice some tough ones
as well okay so question number four
it's your turn again please post your
answer to question 4 in the comment
section below and I will mark it for you
here we go question for which figure
comes next in the sequence is it a B C
or D and you have the time it takes the
time it's come down to answer the
question and put you put it in the
comment section below the video don't
forget if you need more time do feel
free to pause the video off you go
okay well done question number five
something different now which figure
completes the sequence why we are
looking for which figure goes there from
the answer options so is it a is it B is
it C or is it D so how do we work this
out
well you will see across the row so you
got the top row the middle row on the
bottom on you always have a triangle you
always have a circle and you have what's
called a trapezium now those figures are
always in there at some stage not
particularly in any order but they do
appear once he got triangle a circle and
a trapezium and you also have either
three circles two circles on one circle
so if you look we're actually looking
for a square which contains a triangle
and three circles because the one in the
bottom left on that row you are missing
the triangle there's already one circle
and then two so we need one with three
and the correct answer of course is a
really simple okay now it's your turn
I'm going to give you two questions to
have a go at now first of all question
six please post your answer to this
question in the comments section below
here we go
so which figure completes the sequence
there is it a is it B is it C or is it D
none of these so if you don't think it's
any of them put answer Dean you have the
time it takes the timer to go down to
answer your question in the comment
section below
off you go
okay well done so hopefully you're
enjoying these don't forget to subscribe
and also give the video a thumbs up if
you are enjoying these questions let's
move on to question number seven have a
go at this one as well because you
getting the hang of these now please
post your answer to question seven in
the comment section below for marking
which answer option a B C or D completes
the grid so where the question mark is
in the bottom right hand corner is the a
B C or D and you have the time it takes
the time and to go down to answer this
question off you go
fantastic okay we're now going to
increase the difficulty level now move
up a little bit so question eight which
answer option a B C or D completes the
grid so we're looking for the option
where the question mark is is it a B C
or D and again we're just simply looking
for patterns and sequences so if you
look here in each row from left to right
we have black shaded shapes top
left-hand and bottom right so there's
one with black shaded shapes top left
bottom right there's another one black
shaded shapes top left bottom right and
there it is again in the bottom one you
will also notice that in each row we
also have two black shaded shapes on the
right-hand side so there they are on the
right hand side again on the right and
again on the right and you will also
notice that on each row we also have two
black shaded shapes on the top row so
there's them on the top row there they
are on the top row and if you look at
the middle row we are actually missing
that sequence where there are two black
shaded shapes on the top row and if we
look at the answer options a B C or D
the only one where that is applicable
we've two black shapes on the top row is
actually C so the correct answer to
question 8 is C brilliant okay now it's
your turn have a go at this one question
9 put your answer in the comment section
below the video for marking here we go
and also tell me why is that particular
answer so which answer option a B C or D
completes the grid and you have the time
it takes the time to go down to put your
answer in the comment section below
okay well done moving on to question
number 10 what comes next in the
sequence so we're looking for which one
comes next in the sequence and again we
have the answer options a b c d or e so
what is happening here in the sequence
you will see that as it progresses from
the square on the left the first one has
a black shaded circle then we have two
black shaded circles and then three
black shaded circles we're actually
looking for one with four black shaded
circles and then if you look at the
bottom we're actually losing one white
shaded square each time so it's
decreasing therefore the correct answer
the only one that can be correct is
answer option a really simple question
number eleven it's your turn again
please post your answer to question
eleven abstract reasoning in the comment
section below for marking what comes
next in the sequence is it a B C D or E
and tell me why it's that particular
answer off you go
okay hopefully got that one correct it's
a bit tougher it looks easy but it's not
question number twelve now these are
difficult here we go this is a kind of
abstract reasoning test question more
tougher than the ones we've been doing
which set does the test shape belong to
so if you look on the left we've got set
a and on B sorry on the right hand side
we've got set B and we're looking for
patterns and sequences and we have to
decide which tests that test shape which
set does it belong to does it belong to
set a or set B so how do we calculate
this so it's either set a set B or
neither of them so if we look at set a
the images on the left are a mirror-like
reflection of the images on the right
and that's for the same for each square
so if you look there those are a mirror
like image of the ones on the right the
same again there they are a mirror like
image of the ones on the right now if
you look at set B the images on the
bottom this time are a mirror like
reflection of the images on the top so
those are a mirror like reflection of
the ones on the bottom and again the top
ones are a mirror like reflection of the
ones on the bottom so we then have to
decide which of those the test shape
belongs to and actually it's neither of
them because they are neither a
reflection a mirror light reflection of
the images on the left or the right and
also top to bottom doesn't work either
so the correct answer there is neither
so now it's your turn please post your
answer to question 13 in the comment
section below for mark and this is quite
a tough one so you've got set a and set
B which set does the test shape belong
to
there's your test shape is it a set B or
neither please post your answer in the
comment section below for marking and
I'll set the timer for you right now
and like I say if you do need more time
