Analytical Reasoning

Analytical Reasoning questions are designed to assess the ability to consider a group of facts and rules, and, given those facts and rules, determine what could or must be true. The specific scenarios associated with these questions are usually unrelated to law, since they are intended to be accessible to a wide range of test takers. However, the skills tested parallel those involved in determining what could or must be the case given a set of regulations, the terms of a contract, or the facts of a legal case in relation to the law. In Analytical Reasoning questions, you are asked to reason deductively from a set of statements and rules or principles that describe relationships among persons, things, or events.

How to Qualify the Test

If you are required to take an aptitude test as part of an admission or a job application, you may find the prospect a little difficult. In a marked difference to the academic exams you have taken before, you can’t revise for most aptitude tests, as prior knowledge isn’t generally required.

The most important tip for passing your aptitude test is to practice – a lot in every section like Analytical Reasoning as a whole and all its topics like Path and Flow Chart, Ordering, Circular Ordering, Sequencing, Placement Arrangements, Grouping and Selection, and Analytical Reasoning. It’s best to use online tests under simulated exam conditions. As you don’t need to learn any specific knowledge, prepare by familiarizing yourself with the format and style of the questions, and getting used to the time restrictions.
