Sample of Tests :

Instructions :

This is a test of intelligence. There are 25 problems in this test. In each problem you are to decide which figure shows the parts given in left hand box correctly fitted together

Look at the figures in the box at left hand corner. There are two parts in it. Now look at the five figures in boxes labelled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. You are to decide which figure shows how these parts can fit together. Let us first take Figure 1. Figure 5 does look as the part in the left hand corner box would look when fitted together. So mark 5 on your O. M. R. answer­sheet against Practice Problem 1. 

On similar lines, decide which of the figures in boxes labelled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 looks as the parts in the left hand corner box would look when fitted together. As you will notice Figure 3 is the correct answer. So mark number 3 in your O. M. R. answer­sheet against Practice Problem 2 

Sometimes the parts have to be turned around, and sometimes they have to be turned over in order to make them fit. 

Instructions:

This is a test of memorizing Picture-Number combinations. The test is in two parts. In each part, there is a Memory page and a Test page. You are required to remember 21 picture-number pairs given on the Memory page. After some time you will be asked to go to the Test page, which shows the pictures in different order. You will be asked to indicate the numbers that go with them. You may pick your answer out of the four options given for each picture and mark the correct answer on your OMR sheet by darkening the corresponding circle. Here are some practice pictures with numbers: 

Study the above until you are told to turn to the next page.

For the first picture the correct number has been given against alternative ‘C’. Please mark ‘C’ on your OMR sheet against Practice Problem - I of this test. On similar lines, try to answer Practice Problems 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. You will note that the correct option, for picture 2 to 6 are A, C, B, C and B, respectively.

Please remember that there are two parts in this test. Each part has two pages. The first of this is a Memory page, which you are to study. Second is a Test page on which you will find the pictures with 4 options and you will be required to pick the correct one that goes with the picture.
