You have to plug in the upper three equations for A, B and D into the equation that says 250.000 = A+B+C+D. Then solve for C, and you obtain C = 33.800
Hi Jack! I am slightly confused. Time stamp 22:30: Jerome and Maria seem to be the same. Jerome made target at exactly 10% and didn't exceed the goal, yet he's receiving a bonus. Maria made target as well at just over 10% at 437.8 deliveries, but I rounded it off to 437 instead yet she isn't receiving a bonus. Why is that?
Hi! Was just about to respond to your question on the pie chart / island C, but seems you have resolved it yourself in the meantime 🙂 Jerome indeed completed 770/700 = 10% deliveries, and his average rating is sufficient to earn the 25 USD bonus. Maria completed 437/398 < 10% deliveries (check your calculation once again!), which is why she has not earned the bonus. Clear now?
Hi Merry, for each bar you have to divide the segment time by the total time for that bar. So for instance to get to the 53% in the top left, you need to divide 75/142.5 .
@louishayes5898 very good question! In the real test, you would need to drag the borders of the bars to their correct levels instead of typing in the digits, so the legend here is just an illustration.

Hi! Next time, kindly add question number / video minute for reference 🙂 But I got ya, your question is about question no 1/13 at 16:42. I am afraid your calculation is not correct. The task states that in 2021, the company had 10% fewer customers than in 2020. Equivalently, this means that the number of 2021 customers amounts to 90% of 2020 customers. In order to compute the number of 2020 customers from the given number of 72.000 customers in 2021, you need to multiply by the reciprocal value: 1/90%, or 1/0,9, or 10/9 (as it is written in my solution). When applying a percentage reduction in one direction, in order to return to the original number, you always have to apply the reciprocal value. For instance, if you increase 100 by 10% (or multiply by 1,1), it yields you 110. If you then again (wrongly) reduce by 10%, you land at 99 instead of 100. Instead you have to multiply by reciprocal value 1/1,1=10/11 to return to 100. If you are still unclear, take a look at my percentage calculation recap video 🙂
I think the task should sound: move the schedule time of the conferences according to the instructions. Keep in mind the gap time for cleaning the rooms. Thank you.
Hi! Adding 30% to a number is mathematically equivalent to multiplying it by 1.3 . The equation 30%=0.3 is true (if you do not anymore remember why, I explain it here: ua-cam.com/video/KKWDasj8NpI/v-deo.htmlsi=FPEgEkT2kbZF5X4Y Clear now?

Hello Jack, I come again! Your video has been amazing and helped me make sense of everything. The company I've applied for a role in did not specify whether I'll be doing the old multiple choice or the new interactive test however, they stated that I will have approximately 18mins to complete. Does this information help deduce which test I'll be required to complete? I look forward to your prompt response.
Happy to hear that! 👍🏼 If you go back to 11:11 of the video - 18 minutes sounds as if you might be asked to take one of the new modules - if it is only one of the modules, then most likely it will be the interactive numerical reasoning test. Obviously, I am engaging in speculation here, so please take my educated guess with caution 🙂 Good luck for your test!
Hi Jack, I need some help in 17:43 (question 2 Numerical Reasoning: Pie Chart). How did you calculate the equation to get A, B and D. Please can you help. Thank you
Hi Jake thank you so much for this amazing video. I just want to ask something quickly on the first question line chart numerical the method of calculating the percent differs from the 4th question at 20:28 and they both determine historical value of something, what's the difference sir. I appreciate your response and time
Hi there! Thank you! Minute 20:28 leads me to the ranking question (3/5). Could you provide the exact two references (time stamps) where you wish to compare the two questions/answers?
I feel so stupid lol, i dont understand the interactive test at all... i dont get it, the 1st question that you said is really easy, i find it so difficult, I couldnt understand what you mean by "the red triangle, just move one triangle to the left" i tried to make it make sense in my head but i just couldnt understand it... so are we moving the "colored triangle" to the left or the "white triangle" to the left, if we moved the colored triangle to the left then why the colored part changed (idk how to say it but it the white triangle become colored triangle (hourglass)). If you said the triangle move to the left side then why in the 3rd picture, the most right triangle part already become white triangle? isnt it supposed to be the most right and the middle part that become colored triangle? it's really hard to explain what im confused about in english and it annoyed me a lot.. so I wish you make more detailed in explanation using pictures step by step about the logic, instead of just saying it by word
Hi! I think you posted your question twice. I copy my answer just given to you: Let me try to rephrase: When you go through the four shapes from the left to the right (1 to 4), from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, all pairs of red (or colored) triangles move one triangle pair to the left. Maybe it is easiest to see between 2 and 3. If the outer left pair of triangles has been colored, they reenter the next shape from the right (i.e., outer right pair of triangles is colored). Can you see it now?
Hiii 🎉 have a question please. What’s your tips to do these in time constraints? The question will have only a little over a minute to answer… how can these be done quickly??
Hi! In the video, I had pointed the fact that some question types demand more time than others. For instance, in the numerical reasoning test part, you should run rather quickly through the, e.g., line chart and ranking questions, so that you can spend a bit more time on the pie chart and bar chart questions. If you feel you struggle for too long with a specific question, it is important that you do not get hung up to it for too much time and rather skip it and move on quickly. Finally, yes the tests are designed to put you under time stress. It is unlikely you will be able to a) go through all questions AND b) answer all of them correctly. However, you will never need to get 100% right. The cut-off score may depend on the competitiveness of your target employer; the more applicants, probably the higher the cut-off score.
@@YOUinConsulting hi Jack! thanks for the amazing video and material 🤩. I'm practicing for an SHL test to enter a chilean company. In line with @Slow_owl509 question. If I'm struggling in time with a question, I see for your answer that I can skip it. My questions: 1. Can I go back later to the questions I have skipped so I can try to solve them? 2. Seeing the examples you shared of reports with the results after finishing a test, I assume that is better to skip than make a guess, you agree? Thanks a lot again!
@@tomasdcm Smart questions, and if I had known the definite answers to them, I would certainly have included them in the video 😉 On 1) As far as I know: no. In the simulations, you can go back though On 2) I am afraid whether or not you getminus points for wrongly answered questions is a secret I have not yet managed to uncover. How did you draw your conclusion on the basis of the result reports? The point though is not to get hung up for too long on objectively difficult/time-consuming questions (whether you decide to just skip them or to make a random guess).
Hi! You refer to question 2 at 17:43, right? In order to solve for C, you need to plug in the solutions for A, B and D into the fourth equation, hence: 250.000 = (4xC) + (4xC - 92.200) + C + (C + 4200). This equals to 250.000 = 10xC - 88.000. Now, you solve for C and obtain C = 33800. I hope this clears up your confusion 🙂
Wow 💯 Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙌🏼 To be honest, I had not known how much work video creation is, but I think there is already so much boring business content out there... And I don't like people to get scared by the corporate environment. Therefore, where appropriate, I like to inject a bit of humor indeed... 😉 Glad you appreciate and enjoy it 😎
Sure, you are referring to question 10 at minute 36:42. The Operations condition says: "Operations is scheduled with the same difference from sales as it is from R&D". Given the first 3 slots are taken already, Operations has to come fourth (otherwise, it would be impossible to have the Operations workshop be equidistant to two other workshops). Then Operations is two slots away from sales, so it must also be two slots away from R&D. For this reason, R&D must take place as the last workshop, and the remaining slot no 5 is assigned to Marketing. Clear now?
Please use the clues at the beginning of the video to identify which SHL test type you need to take, i.e., if it is just a General Ability type test, or if you need to expect any polit-specific questions
At 11.30 am, if you count the attendants of the four rooms together, you get: 1: 120 2: 0 3: 90 4: 60 In total 270 attendants, well-belove the conference centre's 340 maximum capacity. Is it clear now?
Hi jack, I've got an SHL deductive test coming up and as I've requested extra tine, my time limit is 30 min. I was wondering if could deduce whether this is a non-interactive or interactive test? thanks for the great video
Kindly check the table at 11:18. Old deductive reasoning test takes 20 minutes, new one 18 minutes. Given you asked for the extra time, it is hard to tell. Good luck for your test!
@@YOUinConsultingHello Jack, I have texted you on LinkedIn and would like to discuss about the courses you are offering. Could you please revert to me on that. Thanks in advance 😊
Kindly check the table at 11:18 of the video. 46 minutes is more than the usual 36 minutes. SHL offers many different test modules, maybe you can inquire a little more about the number of questions to expect?
@@YOUinConsulting im guessing its the 10 minutes time for reading the instructions and sample questions. I'm thinking right now if I can open the "start assesment" in my email so I can have a clue in the starting menu of SHL if its interactive or the MC one. I cant inquire the number of questions since the company based who sent me ths shl email is based from another country, and not from my HR.
@@YOUinConsulting Upon checking, yeah, its interactive. There are words like drag and activity based on the instruction page. Thank you so much for this vid. Party On Jack.
@@YOUinConsulting. Thanks..It is super! Could you please provide more preparation materials specific for test. Such as concept about graph calculation or for ratio questions
@@aysha1402 Glad you find it useful 👍🏼 You find further free test prep materials in my online test prepkit for download (instructions in video & description)
First of all Thank you for your video it was amezing. For the Ranking 21:39 I think Rita should be 2 and Dirk should be 1. could you please expain more
You need to plug in the partial solutions for A, B and D (first three equations) into the last equations, so the only remaining variable in the last equation is C. Then, solve for C.
Party on! Thank you for the helpful Video. I tried the SHL Practice Test and the time was so short, I could not manage it. Is it really about to finish everything correctly in the given time?
Thank you very much 🖖 Of course, the more questions you answer, the better! As I explain in the early parts of the video, every company may set the cut-off score individually and by itself, so the more questions you answer, the higher your odds of exceeding the required score. If you found you struggled in SHL's official mock test modules, I suggest you invest some further time into test preparation (given the SHL mock tests are somewhat easier than the real ones). Good luck for your prep & test! 👍
@@YOUinConsulting Thanks for responding so fast. I need to make the assessment until Monday and don`t have much time to practice. any tipps what to focus on? I probably won`t be able to cover everything.
That is still two days 🙂 Have you spotted certain weaknesses during taking the official SHL mock tests? Then I suggest you to focus on those test parts you struggled with the most. If you are unsure, then focus on the numerical reasoning test. For preparation, the paid SHL test prepkit is very good, and two days would be enough to process its most important materials. If you are looking for further free resources beyond the SHL mock tests, you can for instance work with those I suggest in my prepkit on the other online tests, for instance McKinsey's or BCG's mock tests, which also test your analytical and quant skills.
@@YOUinConsulting yeah, and I have 3 other exams next week, need to learn for them too this weekend:D my weakness the speed and regarding specific tasks the sequence part. Thanks for the tipps. I will also include the strategy of skipping some tests to do better on others.
Hi! You refer to question 2 at 18:47, right? In order to solve for C, you need to plug in the solutions for A, B and D into the fourth equation, hence: 250.000 = (4xC) + (4xC - 92.200) + C + (C + 4200). This equals to 250.000 = 10xC - 88.000. Now, you solve for C and obtain C = 33800. Is it clear now?
Could someone tell me if my answer will be counted as correct if I selected the correct answer (or any answer), but ran out of time and didn’t manage to click 'next'?
I just wrote a freaking essay long question about inductive reasoning number 1 yet it s gone, well the point is, i dont understand what you mean by "red triangle" moving to the left; i assume red triangle you mean here, is the colored one (?) if so then why the 3rd picture, the colored triangle when from the most right side (2nd picture) to mid side and left side; if u said it's moved to the left, triangle by triangle then isnt the colored triangle supposed to move to the left hence the most right side and middle part will turn to colored triangle instead of the middle and right part (?); it's so annoying that I couldnt understand the "easy logic" that you meant, and I can't even explain it to you which part is it that confuses me and it's so frustrating, I really hope you can make step by step explanation using picture by picture instead of just saying it through word and expecting us to understand the "easy logic" coz I really dont understand it T.T; i tried to make it make sense but i just couldnt understand it
Bro, first: DON'T PANIC! 😃 Sorry your first comment got lost - comment function in UA-cam is buggy, unfortunately. In regards to your question, let me try to rephrase: When you go through the four shapes from the left to the right (1 to 4), from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, all pairs of red (or colored) triangles move one triangle pair to the left.

@@arranknight2379 Hi, finally realized it, try and imagine they are not triangles, just boxes. Imagine that you're downloading something and the shaded part is moving from right to left for each shape
ah i see it now. I think you explained it a bit confusing the colored triangles move one step. As in move the next shape they don’t move together and stay in shape. In other words the pair of color move by one step to other shape

For the online test, yes for sure!! Nobody notices anyway what you do when you are taking the test from home... If you have to take the test in the employer office, I am less sure - I suggest you to just ask for their conditions, since it is a fair question to ask! Good luck, Jack
It is indeed tough to be correct on all of them. One strategy is to know which are the more difficult ones to skip those and complete the other, less time-consuming ones
I translated your comment to English. I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but the interactive SHL General Ability test is not a strict multiple choice test. In many questions, you need to enter numbers into free text fields. I am glad you found my channel from Japan! 🙂

Hello, according to my calculations, 10% of 72.000 is 7200. 72000 + 7.200 = 79.200 and not 80.000. It seems they make an approximation
Hi! Next time, kindly add question number / video minute for reference 🙂 But I got ya, your question is about question no 1/13 at 16:42. I am afraid your calculation is not correct. The task states that in 2021, the company had 10% fewer customers than in 2020. Equivalently, this means that the number of 2021 customers amounts to 90% of 2020 customers. In order to compute the number of 2020 customers from the given number of 72.000 customers in 2021, you need to multiply by the reciprocal value: 1/90%, or 1/0,9, or 10/9 (as it is written in my solution).

Yes! If you watch for two minutes longer, I recommend exactly that! 😎
@@YOUinConsulting sure, I did and got after two minutes later :)). ... Thank you for such helpful video
@@js_offc8436 Haha cool, then we had the same thought 😎 Happy you find it useful 👍
PARTY ON!!!!! Absolutely amazing video with powerful insights and solid information. I will be singing up to your newsletter (lookout for my name) and look forward to practicing the tests tonight. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
YOU ROCK!!! 😃 Thank you for taking the time for sharing your words of appreciation. I have just checked - you have successfully signed up 👍🏼
@@YOUinConsulting Yes I have, and I have received my welcome email and resource pack all via a smooth, seamless experience. It has so many links to numerous support sources and very well composed, clearly defined sections. I cannot thank you enough!!!
That's great to hear! 👍 Good luck with your preparation & test 👍
Can you explain further question 1 of the Inductive reasoning ?
Happy to, could you specify for your question, i.e., where exactly do you require a clarification?
I also didnt understand that part T.T
Hello Jack, I come again! Your video has been amazing and helped me make sense of everything. The company I've applied for a role in did not specify whether I'll be doing the old multiple choice or the new interactive test however, they stated that I will have approximately 18mins to complete. Does this information help deduce which test I'll be required to complete?
I look forward to your prompt response.
Happy to hear that! 👍🏼 If you go back to 11:11 of the video - 18 minutes sounds as if you might be asked to take one of the new modules - if it is only one of the modules, then most likely it will be the interactive numerical reasoning test. Obviously, I am engaging in speculation here, so please take my educated guess with caution 🙂 Good luck for your test!
Hi Jack, I need some help in 17:43 (question 2 Numerical Reasoning: Pie Chart). How did you calculate the equation to get A, B and D. Please can you help. Thank you
Hi there! Please browse through the comment section, this question has already asked a few times and some good answers have been given! 🙂
Great Job! Great Vídeo! "Party on!", Jack.
You are welcome! Bring some booze... 😉
Hi Jake thank you so much for this amazing video. I just want to ask something quickly on the first question line chart numerical the method of calculating the percent differs from the 4th question at 20:28 and they both determine historical value of something, what's the difference sir. I appreciate your response and time
Hi there! Thank you! Minute 20:28 leads me to the ranking question (3/5). Could you provide the exact two references (time stamps) where you wish to compare the two questions/answers?
I feel so stupid lol, i dont understand the interactive test at all... i dont get it, the 1st question that you said is really easy, i find it so difficult, I couldnt understand what you mean by "the red triangle, just move one triangle to the left" i tried to make it make sense in my head but i just couldnt understand it... so are we moving the "colored triangle" to the left or the "white triangle" to the left, if we moved the colored triangle to the left then why the colored part changed (idk how to say it but it the white triangle become colored triangle (hourglass)). If you said the triangle move to the left side then why in the 3rd picture, the most right triangle part already become white triangle? isnt it supposed to be the most right and the middle part that become colored triangle? it's really hard to explain what im confused about in english and it annoyed me a lot.. so I wish you make more detailed in explanation using pictures step by step about the logic, instead of just saying it by word
Hi! I think you posted your question twice. I copy my answer just given to you:
Let me try to rephrase: When you go through the four shapes from the left to the right (1 to 4), from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, all pairs of red (or colored) triangles move one triangle pair to the left. Maybe it is easiest to see between 2 and 3.
If the outer left pair of triangles has been colored, they reenter the next shape from the right (i.e., outer right pair of triangles is colored).
Can you see it now?
Hiii 🎉 have a question please. What’s your tips to do these in time constraints? The question will have only a little over a minute to answer… how can these be done quickly??
Hi! In the video, I had pointed the fact that some question types demand more time than others. For instance, in the numerical reasoning test part, you should run rather quickly through the, e.g., line chart and ranking questions, so that you can spend a bit more time on the pie chart and bar chart questions.
If you feel you struggle for too long with a specific question, it is important that you do not get hung up to it for too much time and rather skip it and move on quickly.
Finally, yes the tests are designed to put you under time stress. It is unlikely you will be able to a) go through all questions AND b) answer all of them correctly.
However, you will never need to get 100% right. The cut-off score may depend on the competitiveness of your target employer; the more applicants, probably the higher the cut-off score.
@@YOUinConsulting hi Jack! thanks for the amazing video and material 🤩. I'm practicing for an SHL test to enter a chilean company. In line with @Slow_owl509 question. If I'm struggling in time with a question, I see for your answer that I can skip it.
My questions:
1. Can I go back later to the questions I have skipped so I can try to solve them?
2. Seeing the examples you shared of reports with the results after finishing a test, I assume that is better to skip than make a guess, you agree?
Thanks a lot again!
@@tomasdcm Smart questions, and if I had known the definite answers to them, I would certainly have included them in the video 😉
On 1) As far as I know: no. In the simulations, you can go back though
On 2) I am afraid whether or not you getminus points for wrongly answered questions is a secret I have not yet managed to uncover. How did you draw your conclusion on the basis of the result reports?
The point though is not to get hung up for too long on objectively difficult/time-consuming questions (whether you decide to just skip them or to make a random guess).
Plz explain the pie chart calculations
Hi! You refer to question 2 at 17:43, right? In order to solve for C, you need to plug in the solutions for A, B and D into the fourth equation, hence: 250.000 = (4xC) + (4xC - 92.200) + C + (C + 4200). This equals to 250.000 = 10xC - 88.000. Now, you solve for C and obtain C = 33800. I hope this clears up your confusion 🙂
Wow💯
You’re a Magician 🪄
Very engaging and funny.
+ Amazing how you combine serious biz with humor 😋
Wow 💯 Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙌🏼
To be honest, I had not known how much work video creation is, but I think there is already so much boring business content out there... And I don't like people to get scared by the corporate environment. Therefore, where appropriate, I like to inject a bit of humor indeed... 😉 Glad you appreciate and enjoy it 😎
Hi Jake, on deductive reasoning Calendar 2, why R&D needs to go last. Could you explain a but more?
Sure, you are referring to question 10 at minute 36:42. The Operations condition says: "Operations is scheduled with the same difference from sales as it is from R&D". Given the first 3 slots are taken already, Operations has to come fourth (otherwise, it would be impossible to have the Operations workshop be equidistant to two other workshops). Then Operations is two slots away from sales, so it must also be two slots away from R&D. For this reason, R&D must take place as the last workshop, and the remaining slot no 5 is assigned to Marketing. Clear now?
what are the SHL pilot aptitude questions and where can I find them, thank you
Please use the clues at the beginning of the video to identify which SHL test type you need to take, i.e., if it is just a General Ability type test, or if you need to expect any polit-specific questions
Hello Jack, for the first deductive reasoning question at 29:14, how did you get 270 people maximum?
At 11.30 am, if you count the attendants of the four rooms together, you get:
1: 120
2: 0
3: 90
4: 60
In total 270 attendants, well-belove the conference centre's 340 maximum capacity. Is it clear now?
Hi jack, I've got an SHL deductive test coming up and as I've requested extra tine, my time limit is 30 min. I was wondering if could deduce whether this is a non-interactive or interactive test? thanks for the great video
Kindly check the table at 11:18. Old deductive reasoning test takes 20 minutes, new one 18 minutes. Given you asked for the extra time, it is hard to tell. Good luck for your test!
Thanks Jack! Party on.
You made it!! 💪🎉
@@YOUinConsultingHello Jack, I have texted you on LinkedIn and would like to discuss about the courses you are offering. Could you please revert to me on that. Thanks in advance 😊
Got ya now. We talked it out 😀
hello. I have a total of 46 minutes for the general assesment and 20 minutes for the personality profile. Will it be interactive? Thanks
Kindly check the table at 11:18 of the video. 46 minutes is more than the usual 36 minutes. SHL offers many different test modules, maybe you can inquire a little more about the number of questions to expect?
@@YOUinConsulting im guessing its the 10 minutes time for reading the instructions and sample questions. I'm thinking right now if I can open the "start assesment" in my email so I can have a clue in the starting menu of SHL if its interactive or the MC one. I cant inquire the number of questions since the company based who sent me ths shl email is based from another country, and not from my HR.
@@joseph3662 I understand. Yes, you can do that. See minute 10:45 of my video :) Works?

Hello, for the third numerical question Dirk has the lowest score, and Rita the second, so he should be number 1 and Rita number 2.
Do you mean at minute 21:33? That is the case. Dirk has orange no 1, Rita has orange no 2.
First of all Thank you for your video it was amezing. For the Ranking 21:39 I think Rita should be 2 and Dirk should be 1. could you please expain more
You are right and this is the case. See the numbers in the red bubbles at minute 21:39, Rita is no 2 and Dirk no 1.
@@YOUinConsulting but in the red bubble it says rita is no 1 and dirk is no 2
IN MINUTE 18:41, how did you solve C?
You need to plug in the partial solutions for A, B and D (first three equations) into the last equations, so the only remaining variable in the last equation is C. Then, solve for C.
Party on! Thank you for the helpful Video. I tried the SHL Practice Test and the time was so short, I could not manage it. Is it really about to finish everything correctly in the given time?
Thank you very much 🖖 Of course, the more questions you answer, the better! As I explain in the early parts of the video, every company may set the cut-off score individually and by itself, so the more questions you answer, the higher your odds of exceeding the required score.
If you found you struggled in SHL's official mock test modules, I suggest you invest some further time into test preparation (given the SHL mock tests are somewhat easier than the real ones).
Good luck for your prep & test! 👍
@@YOUinConsulting Thanks for responding so fast. I need to make the assessment until Monday and don`t have much time to practice. any tipps what to focus on? I probably won`t be able to cover everything.
That is still two days 🙂 Have you spotted certain weaknesses during taking the official SHL mock tests? Then I suggest you to focus on those test parts you struggled with the most. If you are unsure, then focus on the numerical reasoning test.
For preparation, the paid SHL test prepkit is very good, and two days would be enough to process its most important materials. If you are looking for further free resources beyond the SHL mock tests, you can for instance work with those I suggest in my prepkit on the other online tests, for instance McKinsey's or BCG's mock tests, which also test your analytical and quant skills.
@@YOUinConsulting yeah, and I have 3 other exams next week, need to learn for them too this weekend:D my weakness the speed and regarding specific tasks the sequence part. Thanks for the tipps. I will also include the strategy of skipping some tests to do better on others.

Now, you solve for C and obtain C = 33800. Is it clear now?
@@YOUinConsulting How do solve for C, i get that 92,200-4,200 gives the 88,000, and what makes uo the 10xc , is it the (4xc)+(4xc)+c+c. Thanks
Like terms adds up so you’d have 4x+4x+x+x= 10x

I just wrote a freaking essay long question about inductive reasoning number 1 yet it s gone, well the point is, i dont understand what you mean by "red triangle" moving to the left; i assume red triangle you mean here, is the colored one (?) if so then why the 3rd picture, the colored triangle when from the most right side (2nd picture) to mid side and left side; if u said it's moved to the left, triangle by triangle then isnt the colored triangle supposed to move to the left hence the most right side and middle part will turn to colored triangle instead of the middle and right part (?); it's so annoying that I couldnt understand the "easy logic" that you meant, and I can't even explain it to you which part is it that confuses me and it's so frustrating, I really hope you can make step by step explanation using picture by picture instead of just saying it through word and expecting us to understand the "easy logic" coz I really dont understand it T.T; i tried to make it make sense but i just couldnt understand it
Bro, first: DON'T PANIC! 😃 Sorry your first comment got lost - comment function in UA-cam is buggy, unfortunately.
In regards to your question, let me try to rephrase: When you go through the four shapes from the left to the right (1 to 4), from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, all pairs of red (or colored) triangles move one triangle pair to the left. Maybe it is easiest to see between 2 and 3.
If the outer left pair of triangles has been colored, they reenter the next shape from the right (i.e., outer right pair of triangles is colored).
Can you see it now?
Still very confused about the moving triangle question at 39:20
Same!
@@arranknight2379 Hi, finally realized it, try and imagine they are not triangles, just boxes. Imagine that you're downloading something and the shaded part is moving from right to left for each shape
Moving from each tile from the left to the right, the each pair of triangles moves one step to the left within the shapes. Can you see it?
ah i see it now. I think you explained it a bit confusing the colored triangles move one step. As in move the next shape they don’t move together and stay in shape. In other words the pair of color move by one step to other shape

For the online test, yes for sure!! Nobody notices anyway what you do when you are taking the test from home... If you have to take the test in the employer office, I am less sure - I suggest you to just ask for their conditions, since it is a fair question to ask! Good luck, Jack

these questions are not difficult.... its the time limit that kills you.... how can speed through them with accuracy?
It is indeed tough to be correct on all of them. One strategy is to know which are the more difficult ones to skip those and complete the other, less time-consuming ones
