At ya stage 1 did the cubes and diagramming tests come from an old looking SHL booklet?
they came in a nats booklet, i would not try and second guess them if you think you have a similar one, the first 30 or ok and you should be able to do these in the time easily enough
Could you explain to me what you mean by this? I've been stressing about running out of time on this one, and any tips would be greatly appreciated!
for the later questions dont just go through each modifier seeing what it does, i picked a couple of key modifiers and matched the answer to them rather than seeing if all 4 would match, the trick is picking the right ones, for some of them the 2nd symbol of the answers would be identical for all 4 options so obviously the 5-10 seconds used working that out is fairly useless (12x10 seconds is 2 mins which is another couple of questions) , where as the 4th symbol might be different for each answer, clearly thats the one to work out, note that this worked for me and people are all different, some people may be better at quickly sorting the diagrams where as i had to draw key info out of each bit, you might find you spend more time trying to work out which info to look at rather than just deciphering all the modifiers.
Also people have passed when only answering 33 ish of these as well.
edit - basically what pat42 said but he was more eloquent than me
