How to approach this test
Clock Problems: The minute hand moves 6° a minute and the hour hand 0.5° a minute, so the angle at h:m is |30h − 5.5m|. Take the smaller angle if it exceeds 180°.
Calendar Problems: Count odd days: 7 days make a week, so only the remainder after dividing the number of days by 7 shifts the weekday.
Ranking and Order: Position from one end plus position from the other end minus one gives the total; draw the line and mark positions rather than doing it mentally.
Permutation and Combination: Decide first whether order matters (permutation) or not (combination). Repeated letters divide the count by the factorial of each repeat.
This set leans easy, so use it to confirm that you can solve the basic pattern accurately before you move to harder sets. At 30 questions in 35 minutes, you have about 70 seconds per question on average. After you submit, review every wrong or guessed answer using the explanations.
