What Is the Logiks General Intermediate Test?
Logiks General Intermediate is an assessment test by a company called Cubiks. The test assesses your cognitive abilities to see if you’re fit for different positions. You’ll have 12 minutes to answer 50 questions divided between three sections - Numerical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Abstract Thinking.
So, What’s the difference between the three different sections?
Logiks Intermediate Numerical Reasoning Questions:
The Logiks Intermediate Numerical Reasoning section focuses on your basic math aptitude. But there’s nothing basic about it. Between number sequence questions, word problems and mental arithmetic questions, it can be quite challenging.
The challenge is that you need to answer the questions quickly in order to finish the section on time. Why quickly? Because the section itself is only 4 minutes to answer 16 questions! That’s 15 seconds for each question! The best way to make sure you complete as many questions as possible is by practicing your mental arithmetic and techniques.
Let’s look at a number series question example:
Example Question #1
Which number comes next in the sequence?
0.1 , 0.4 , 0.9 , 1.6, 2.5 , __
|
|
|
|
|
|
The correct answer is – 3.6
There are two ways to look at this series:
(1) The intervals increase by +0.2 in each step:
2.5 + (0.9 + 0.2) = 2.5 + 1.1 = 3.6
(2) Another point of view:
0.1, 0.4, 0.9, 1.6, 2.5 3.6
12/10 22/10 32/10 42/10 52/10 62/10
The numerators are all to squares of natural number, starting with 1. Each step increases the natural number by one.
So, there are two ways to answer this question, and they are more about spotting patterns than they are about long math calculations. This applies to all Numerical question types, not only number series questions like the one above. In these cases, it is even better not to use a calculator (though it’s allowed).
As you get to know the patterns, tips, and techniques, this section becomes much easier, and practice makes perfect. As a result, this will improve your decision-making and reduce the stress that involved with these tests without prior knowledge.
Logiks Intermediate Abstract Reasoning Questions:
Speaking of patterns, the Abstract section is ALL about patterns.
And this is exactly what your employer wants to check on this section - your cognitive ability to notice patterns and come to the right conclusion.
The questions in this section are called “Next in series,” , and like the number series before you’ll need to find the last one missing. In this section you’ll get 4 minutes to answer 10 of those.
Take an example from our preparation pack. Look at the shapes from left to right and search for patterns that dictate what happens on the following steps, then conclude what comes next:
Example Question #2
Which shape should come next in the series?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The correct answer is - (E)
There are two triangles in this question, outer black, and inner white- each has its own pattern.
The outer black is making a 45° rotation in a clockwise manner in each step, and the inner white is making a 90° rotation in a clockwise manner in every step.
The only answer that fits this description is (E)
Tip - After some practice, you’ll notice that there are some rules that apply to all abstract questions. In this question, the specific rule that dictates the two patterns is rotation. But there are four more rules that may apply - Progression, Frequency, Construction, and Motion.
You can get thorough practice in the preparation pack on this page and learn all the different rules that apply to abstract questions. By solving many questions and familiarize with the test format, you’ll be much more prepared. That is the best way to increase your chances to ace the Logiks assessment and get hired.
Logiks Intermediate Verbal Reasoning Questions:
The Logiks intermediate verbal section has four types of questions -
- Antonym questions – You'll be given a word and will be required to choose the word that signifies its opposite (like solemn and frivolous).
- Syllogism questions – You'll be given several statements and then asked to choose the correct logical conclusion drawn from them.
- Verbal analogies - You’ll be given a pair of related words and will need to figure out the relationship between them. Then, you'll be given another single word and asked to choose a word from the options given that upholds the same logic (e.g. clouds are to rain what volcanoes are to___?)
- 'Odd-one-out' - You'll be given a set of words that share a common rule and asked to pick-out the word that is the exception to that rule.
Let’s look at an “odd one out” question example:
Example Question #3
Which one is the odd one out?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The correct answer is - Noisy
Noisy is the only adjective, while the other words are nouns. The adjective noisy describes the character of producing disturbing audible sound. On the other hand, the other words are nouns standing for different kinds of noises.
On one hand, the questions in the verbal section aren’t that hard. On the other hand, it is important to remember that you’ll only get 4 minutes to answer 24 questions. That’s 10 seconds for each verbal question, and most of them are harder than the one I showed you.
So, if you are counting on scoring on the upper percentile to pass, you need to familiarize yourself with the format and practice as much as you can.
Logiks General Intermediate Assessment Test Tips
- Work fast and trust your intuition - After plenty of practice, your intuition will be more on point. You don’t have time to overthink all your answers, so after you choose an answer, don’t stall.
- Don’t leave questions unanswered - In the Logiks Intermediate assessment, guessing is better than not answering. If you are not sure, make an educated and intuitive guess, and then move on.
- Check that you have everything you need – Even when you’re at home and are taking an online Cubiks test, make sure to bring a calculator, pen/pencil, notepad, etc.
- Practice as many Logiks ability tests as you can - Even if you think your initial score on the Logiks tests are good, remember that it might be easy for other candidates as well. The best way to beat the competition is by practicing more than they do.
- Take the time to go through the multiplication table - Because the test requires fast thinking and answering, you’ll get a huge advantage by going through basic math like the multiplication table. Another thing that will help is refreshing your knowledge of basic exponents.
How to Score High on Your Logiks General Intermediate Exam
Getting a high score on your Logiks Intermediate test requires the right practice.
After analyzing Logiks tests inside and out, we constructed a 3-step process to get you there:
Step 1 - Diagnose Your Level
After taking your first Logiks Intermediate simulation, you’ll get a summery of your current abilities. That way, you can see what your strengths and weaknesses are.
This simulation uses both test-styled practice questions and a time limit, so it’s as close as it gets to the real Logiks Intermediate test.
For instance, this test taker is pretty good in abstract reasoning but needs to work harder on his verbal and numerical reasoning skills.
Step 2 - Get Personalized Practice
After the diagnostic test, you can proceed to study the methods and techniques in the Logiks guides included in the preparation pack. Then you can start implementing those techniques by practicing some standalone sections.
That way, you will turn your weaknesses into strengths and will be able to answer the tests faster and with more accuracy.
After doing some specific practice and studying the guides, it will be time to take full practice tests again.
This time, you are likely to see an improvement in your scoring and time management.
But you’ll gain something extra in the process - taking full practice Logiks Intermediate tests will reduce the stress in real-time.
Remember - at this point it is likely that other candidates aren’t prepared as you are and are not used to the timed test format. That way, you can be assured that you are likely on the top percentile of test-takers.
Step 3 - Practice Full-Length Logiks General Intermediate Simulations
After doing some specific practice and studying the guides, it will be time to take full practice tests again.
