HOW TO IMPROVE IN LOGICAL REASONING TESTS?

One way to prep for them is to very meticulously learn the different types of patterns that are possible:

• Shape-based: multiple rotations along multiple axes, increasing count of shapes related to previous number of sides, alternating patterns of colour
• Numerical: no way around that one, gotta count very fast to identify the different types of patterns like geometric progression, all prime numbers, doubling of previous, doubling minus X of previous (and so on and so forth), fibonacci sequence, squares, squares minus X, and so on and so forth
• Mixed: odd number and odd-sided shapes, even number and odd-sided shapes, alternating between prior, numbers held constant with shapes increasing, shapes changing only for odd numbers, etc. etc.

The best way to deal with those in my opinion is to learn to recognise them first (even if it takes a while in the beginning), then progressively get faster by timing yourself and running through the various alternatives as quickly as you can in your head. Looking to eliminate some options if you can (such that you may be able to make a probabilistic choice based on what is left). And to be fair, I have flat out guessed randomly in the past because of time limits. That happens too, just try to minimise it if you can.

Best of luck
