About the Logical Reasoning section
The logical reasoning part presents small rule-based puzzles: an order of events, a schedule, a seating plan. Each question has exactly one answer that fits every rule, and the fastest route is usually to rule options out rather than build the arrangement from scratch.
Candidates report that items are answered in sequence without returning, and that leaving questions blank is costly, so pacing and a willingness to commit to your best answer matter as much as raw logic.
Every puzzle here is generated and machine-checked to have a single valid answer, and each comes with a worked explanation you can follow step by step.
Tips from practice
- Turn each rule into a quick sketch or shorthand before looking at the options.
- Test the options against the most restrictive rule first; it eliminates the most.
- If you are stuck past your time budget, pick the best remaining option and move on.
Common questions
- Do I need to know formal logic?
- No. These are everyday reasoning puzzles. Our explanations show a simple elimination method that works for all of them.
- Why does the mock not let me go back?
- Candidate reports describe this section as forward-only, so the timed run and mock follow that to keep the pacing realistic.
