How to Pass Aptitude Test: Questions with Answers and Solutions

an aptitude test is a pre-employment assessment quiz which is used to determine how well candidate is prepared and how well candidate will succeed on the job aptitude test is an umbrella for variety of different tests there are various different aptitude tests employers use based on the job candidate might be applying for logical reasoning tests math reasoning test numerical reasoning diagramming reasoning situational judgment verbal reasoning an abstract reasoning test is just not a full list of examples of a typical aptitude test if you're looking for a specific test please make sure to find the relevant video on my channel to get ready and pass the test before we move forward let me tell you a little bit about myself my name is vadim mikhalenka and i have mba and master's degree in

confused tons of people during the test how many squares are in this picture and you have choices of 16 29 30 and 32 which one do you think is right the confusion part of this question comes with the fact that squares are not only the small squares that shown in the picture so if you do only small squares that the answer would be 16 but you can have this area as a square you can have this area as a square and large area is also a square so once you calculate all of those you will get to the correct answer and the correct answer is 30 because there are 16 small squares nine squares which would be created using four small squares four squares which can be created using nine small squares and one big square so that when we come out with the answer 30. so you kind of have to know how to calculate it a little bit but this question we see a lot as part of numerical reasoning tests and psychometric tests so i just want to make sure that you guys are prepared let's look at another tricky question which one of the four are the least like the other three and then we need to choose the correct answer tiger cow rabbit or deer which one do you think is right the tricky part of this question is that all of these animals are mammals but there are three animals cow rabbit and deer that eat grass and tiger is a predator so the correct answer is a which is tiger so hopefully you've got this one right it's a tricky one and it tests your knowledge of exclusion meaning that you need to read the test question correctly and then you need to find out the correct choice hopefully we've got this one right i'd like to ask you to participate in our daily excel assessment test challenge i post new questions every day in the community tab of this channel and give you an opportunity to answer this and try it and i post the answer in the comments next day so please make sure to check it out and test your knowledge and now let's continue and get you ready for the test so here is the question which is frequently used as part of numerical reasoning and logical reasoning tests find the next number of the below sequence and you have series of numbers 30 29 27 24 20 15 and you have a choices four different choices ten nine eleven and eight which one do you think is right and how would you even approach answering something like this the key to answer something like this uh in these types of questions in general is to detect the pattern so you see the pattern here is you increase the number every time you go from one number to the next 30 is one more than 29 and 27 is 2 more than 29 24 is 3 more than 27 20 is 4 more than 24 and 15 is 5 more than 20. so the next difference would be 6 and 15 minus 6 would be 9. let's recap so next number in the sequence is less than the current number 29 is less than 30 27 is 2 less than 29 and 24 is 3 less than 27 and you can continue the sequence once you detect it and final number must be 6 less than 15 which is 9. so the correct answer is b which is nine hopefully we've got this one right now let's look at the question find the missing value using the pattern you see the three by three box and one of the values in this box is missing so what is the pattern and there are four choices we have a b c and d right and obviously you would have to find the pattern and calculate the value so what do you guys think is the right answer here before i reveal the right answer let me try to discuss with you the pattern so you see one two and three right but then this one two four and six so it's not sequential so it's not like you go one plus one equals two plus one equals three there's a different type of pattern here and the right pattern here is that one plus two equals three right and then two plus 4 equals 6. and once you know the pattern you can easily calculate that 3 plus 6 equals 9. so the right answer here is choice c let's validate and you're absolutely right the right choice is choice c and this is exactly the logic that i just presented to you hopefully you've got this one right a lot of you are interested and asking me how can i help others one of the ways you can help other people is by sharing the latest questions that you see on excel interview and assessment test and how you answer them please share the questions you recently encountered in the comments section of this video if you know the answers please share them as well and now let's continue and get you ready for the test now let's look at the question which is frequently used as part of verbal reasoning aptitude test and psychometric tests if you rearrange the letters c i f a i p c you would have the name of an and therefore choices country city ocean and river so the tricky part of this question is that these are not the final answers you can't rearrange this set of letters to get to the country you can't rearrange it to get to the ocean letter or to any one of these letters it is country name that would be a result of this rearrangement or ocean name that would be ocd name or river name so let's see if you can get this one correctly unfortunately there is no easy way to prepare yourself for these types of questions and the correct answer here is pacific so the answer is pacific ocean right but there's no way for you to know this you probably heard the term of pacific ocean but the best practice to answer these types of questions would be to go and start with the smallest one and smallest one would be ocean there are only uh very few oceans and you probably much better off starting and going and counting through all these oceans that are available and one of those oceans would be pacific ocean because if you start to go with city river and country there are too many countries too many cities and too many rivers and the expectation is that you would not know all of this and you can't answer so that's the best way to come to these questions identify what is the smallest number of items that's on the list and then loop through these items to identify the right one so going back is pacific ocean is the answer and hopefully you will have the tips and tricks to get these types of questions correctly now let's look at the question where you tested not just how well you know english but also how well can you operate with the letters and take guesses based on the questions asked a lot of times these types of questions used in the verbal reasoning tests and in a lot of other tests as well for example psychometric tests or logic reasoning tests these types of questions we see all the time so the question which of the following can be arranged to a five letter english word and there are four choices with five letters of the word and you kind of would need to look at each choice and you would need to take a guess which one would be the one which leads to specific english word and obviously nobody gives you the english words you would have to take a guess on the word and combine these letters so they will be represented by the specific english word so which one do you think is the right choice couple suggestions here you see choice a has inside of these letters english word gold so typically it's the wrong choice because typically you wouldn't be able to easily rearrange this word into something else typically and again it's only typically but you would want to start with the letter somewhere in the middle and the right choice here is choice b and it's the word shape that's really the word that the end result of it you don't have a way of knowing right because you don't know what the end word is so you would have to look realistically at all the different choices and see if you can combine them but i would start with the middle letter because typically they try to trick you and first letter is typically not the one that starts this new word so find more exercises like this this one was tricky this one was difficult uh very few people uh guess it right but it takes practice to get these types of questions correctly so make sure google or find on the internet these types of verbal reasoning questions and see if you can get better at this can i ask you to do me a favor if you like the content please give this video a big thumbs up to tell us that you need more content like this and now let's continue and get you ready for the test let's look at the question which tests your knowledge of logical reasoning which is very frequently used as part of psychometric test and aptitude tests which of the four is least like the other three and you have four choices car bus bicycle and van multiple different options here you can arrange all these items by size by weight or maybe buy something else do you think you know the answer and as you might have figured out the correct answer is c which is bicycle because all of these four choices are vehicles but three of them need fuel so answer is the bicycle which doesn't need fuel which is not like all of the others hopefully you got this one right so here is the tricky question which is frequently used as part of logical reasoning test in numerical reasoning tests the day after the day after tomorrow is four days before monday what day is it today we have four choices sunday monday friday and saturday and the reason i'm laughing is because this tells me that you always should come to those types of tests after a very good night's sleep and try to schedule them in the morning that's the best advice i can give you because sometimes if you come to this type of test tired you wouldn't even understand what they're asking you to do so do you have an idea how to answer this let's take a look at the answer again most of the time you have to use reverse method to get to the right answer and the reverse method tells us that four days before monday is thursday and day before day before thursday is tuesday if tomorrow is tuesday today is monday so the correct answer is b monday hopefully you've got this one right now let's look at another pattern type question which number should come next in the pattern and then you have pattern of numbers 1 1 2 3 5 8 13. so let's first determine what's the pattern here obviously there are four choices but the result here is calculated based on the pattern that we would need to determine which one do you guys think is the right one here well let's look so we have one one and then 1 plus 1 equals 2 then 1 plus 2 equals 3 then we have 2 plus 3 equals 5 and then you can kind of keep going so to calculate the next number it's basically the sum of the previous two numbers so 8 plus 13 is 21. so the right choice here is choice b which is 21. and this is the explanation that the pattern here is really the sum of previous two numbers hopefully we've got this one right now let's look at the reasoning question where you need to complete the sentence read below sentence and give the correct answer book is to reading as fork is two and then you need to pick one of the four choices painting writing eating and lifting so what do you think is the right choice i think it's pretty obvious here so but let's look at the right answer so the correct answer is obviously eating right because book is to reading this is an activity associated with reading as fork is to eating you use fork during the meal consumption so the correct choice is c and that's because forks are used during dining and meal consumption hopefully you've got this one right why you might consider subscribing to this channel this is one of the fastest way to learn and get prepared for excel assessment test skills you learn are helpful today and in the future you get answers to your questions you have opportunity to help other people and you have experienced professionals who already subscribed to this channel and ready to help you with any answers that you need and now let's continue and get you ready for the test now let's look at the question which tests your knowledge of numerical reasoning a girl starts to run at the speed of 5 miles per hour after one hour a boy starts to run a 10 mile per hour speed from the same location and going in the same direction how long will it take for the boy to catch up with the girl and we have four choices here one hour 30 minutes 45 minutes 1.5 hours what do you think is the right choice the correct answer here is a one hour and here's the reasoning boy has twice of the girl's speed and for boy it will only take half the time to run the same distance compared to the girl after an hour girl already ran for 5 miles and she will run another 5 miles in the next hour boy on the other hand will run 10 miles an hour girl will run 10 miles in 2 hours and for the boy it will take only 1 hour to run 10 miles so boy will reach the girl in 1 hour hopefully you've got this one right here's another tricky question which can confuse you easily during the test bob is six years old and his sister is a half of his age when bob is 30 what would be the age of his sister and there are four choices 20 15 25 and 27 which one do you think is right and obviously as you might have figured out the correct answer is d27 bob's sister is three when bob is six and bob becomes 30 after 24 years and that's why his sister must be 27 years old another way to look at it there is a three year difference when bob is 30 his sister would be 30 minus 3 which would be 27. hopefully you've got this one right here's the question which tests your knowledge of working with negative numbers calculate minus one hundred plus forty-five here keep in mind that minus 100 is very tricky some people just don't see this minus sign right before the 100 and there are four choices minus 145 145 minus 55 and then 55. so what do you think is the right answer and obviously the correct answer is c which is minus 55 and the way we calculate this equation is we can move minus 100 after 45 so the new equation might look like this 45 minus 100 which would be exactly minus 55. hopefully you've got this on correctly as well a lot of people ask how can i help on this channel one of the best ways to help is to help other people answer the questions that they're getting if you know the answer to the question that you see in comments please post the answer in the comment section of this video and now let's continue and get you ready for the test so let's look at another tricky question what number is the best match and we have 8 to 4 would be 10 to question mark so what do you think is the right one here let's look at the answer the best answer here is 4 is the half of 8 so the question mark would be half of 10 and in that case half of 10 is 5 so that's the number you should choose now the tricky part of this question some people may mistakenly select 20 which would be double of 10 so make sure you recognize this and don't make this mistake hopefully you've got this one right now let's look at the question which tests your knowledge of working with shapes patterns and numbers select an arrow which logically belongs in the rectangle with the question mark here on the screen you see three by three box each row of the box in each column of the box has arrows one arrow is missing which arrow do you think is missing the key here is to identify the pattern each row in each column contains unique arrows in the first row we have arrow pointing to the right upper right and then to the upper left then upper left right and upper right so here we have upper right and then we have arrow pointing to the upper left and what's missing is the arrow pointing to the right and that would be the right answer and the arrow pointing to the right would be choice a and this is the explanation so each row has three arrows all three arrows are directed to three directions and they are unique according to the pattern correct answer is a because arrow which is directed to the right is missing in the third row hopefully you've got this one right so can you tell us how many questions did you answer correctly please post in the comments of this video to share with others and now let's continue and get you ready for the test now let's look at the very complex question which you see a lot during logical reasoning tests psychometric tests and the numerical reasoning tests find the correct shape to continue the series and what we have here we have three by three matrix with eight shapes populated and one shape is missing there are four choices as usual but in order for you to calculate the right shape you need to determine the pattern and in fact there are two patterns here on this screen can you figure it out do you know what the right answer is as i mentioned there are two patterns here one is there is a pattern for the shape which shape would you choose and second pattern is the pattern for the lines and where is the right location for the line itself now let's go through the detection of the shape pattern first so the shape pattern is triangle square and then the circle right so triangle square and the next one would be the circle so we have a circle that's uh the right value here but all of this other circles uh this was helpful but not by much but it just tells us that we are detecting the first pattern and here if you want to confirm we have square circle and then triangle now the most important part here is to determine on which side of the shape the lines should be located and what we have here we have four locations as you can see in the answer one location on the top right left and bottom so how would you know where's the right location for the circle shape so let's look closely here and let's detect the pattern here for the line location the line location starts with the bottom right and then top so you see it's going counterclockwise so if if you imagine the clock with the clockwise rotation then this would be counterclockwise and let's see if we're correct and we have a pattern here so we have bottom right top then we have left bottom so that still matches the counterclockwise pattern and then we have left bottom right so i think the missing shape here would be the one before the left which would be on the top so the right answer in this case would be a because here we have a circle which matches the circles pattern and then we have lines located at the top let's verify to confirm that and as you can see the correct answer is a so let's recap there are two patterns you need to detect in this assignment patterns for the shapes and pattern for the line location shapes are displayed in a particular order triangle square circle that's really the pattern for the shapes and pattern for lines are in a counterclockwise order so correct answer is a hopefully you've got this one right you will see a lot of these types of questions in the assessment test let's look at the question which is frequently used as part of numeric reasoning test and aptitude test find the correct shape to continue the series and you present it with the three by three box which contains multiple shapes and one shape is missing in one of the boxes there are four choices can you detect which one is the correct one before i jump to the final answer let me teach you how to detect patterns in these types of questions there are three different patterns that we can see here first patterns is pattern in the shapes we have circle and triangle in the first row we have square and triangle in the second row and then we have square and circle in the third row the second pattern here is the pattern of one shape inside of the other so what you see here is that every row contains one shape inside of the other in the first row it's a triangle inside of the circle in the second row it's the triangle inside of the square and the third one is missing this pattern which tells us that it should be the pattern of one shape inside of the other which is not a big help because both all of the four choices here do contain the shapes um one shape inside of the other but let's skip that comment and let's just jump to the third pattern and the third pattern is the dot in the middle of the shape so you see that every row contains at least one shape where that is inside of the shapes that are one inside of the other so knowing this information we have our choices a and d because we narrowed it down and recognized that we have to have a dot inside of the shape now which one do you think is right knowing the first pattern we can exclude choice a because in the third row we have combination of squares and circles so the correct choice is d because it matches all three patterns we have circle inside of the square and then we have dot in the middle so the correct answer is d hopefully you've got this one right can i ask you to do me a favor if you know someone who is getting ready for interview or excel assessment test please share this video with them this is going to help them pass and get their dream job i really appreciate it thank you and now let's continue and get you ready for the test and now let's look at the question which is frequently used as part of numerical reasoning tests what is the number that is one half of one quarter of one tenth of 800 and there are four choices 20 12 5 and 10. how would you answer something like this let's go ahead and take a look to answer this question you need to do operations in reverse so one-tenths of 800 is 80 and then one quarter of 80 is 20 and one half of 20 is 10 so the correct answer is d 10 and let's recap this is the explanation to get to this answer you need to go in reverse one tenth of eight hundred is eighty one quarter of eighty is twenty and one half of twenty is ten so the correct answer is d hopefully you've got this one right thanks for watching hope you have learned something and had fun at the same time please make sure to
