How to think it through

Name the type first — “decide what kind of question it is, then use that lesson’s method”

  1. Read the question and name its type: number or letter series, odd one out, analogy, repeating pattern, grid, word group, code or alphabet.
  2. Use that lesson’s method: find the jump, test properties, find the rule, use the remainder …
  3. Check your answer by putting it back into the pattern.

Use it for: Revising Part 1 before an Olympiad or school aptitude test.

Worked example: What comes next? 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ? → 36

  1. These are square numbers: 1 × 1, 2 × 2, 3 × 3, 4 × 4, 5 × 5.
  2. Next: 6 × 6 = 36.
