in your case, to make it even harder, did they put two different categories, for example numbers and shapes together, on the same screen so that as you proceeded with the exercise, you were given one new statement for the numbers and a new statement for the shapes?? After a bit, it should drive you nuts
Last question, there isn't even one exercise on number series, or shape series or some diagramming?? What do u do in there for 4 hours!??!
p.s about the spatial reasoning test, do u have an open cube and 4 possible closed cubes or u have one closed cube and 4 possible opened ones??
With the sorting test, yes they combine different colours and shapes, and also with specific statements telling you what to do. They start easy and get harder! Its the same with the numbers test.
For the cubes there is one closed cube and 4 or 5 open ones.
Just to re-iterate there is really not much you can do to prepare, i didnt do any prep for the tests apart from getting good nights sleep. Go in with an open mind and ready to perform.
I think I remember them saying that you are awarded 'points' for each section of the tests and it is your final point score that determines your success, so if you do badly in one section you can make up for it in the next. I feel certain that I performed poorly in the cubes test, but then again I suppose I cant have done terribly.
good luck!
