abstract reasoning

During the course of the FREE 2018 EPSO AD Information Webcast a number of questions were raised by participants about the 2018 EPSO Administrators Generalists (AD5) (EPSO/AD/356/18) competition. We have collected these questions and have provided answers in this article.

In this issue of our abstract reasoning guides we are going to look at something we like to call visual overload. Visual overload comes into play when an item has so much stuff going on that it looks confusing and chaotic.

In this edition of our abstract reasoning guides we are going to talk about something that is a bit less on the methodological side of things and more on your innate ability to understand and solve abstract reasoning tests. Though with some practice you can develop your abstract reasoning skill to a point where only the most devious tests can be an obstacle, however, let’s not discount the importance of a skill you have from the get-go.

Belive it or not - finding the correct asnwer for an abstract reasoning test item has its own methodolgy. Sure, you can construct the correct answer in your head, based on the rules you ought to find, then hope that there will be a matching answer option - or you can take it to the next level by understanding how answer options are created and how you can use this knowledge to enhance your chances of finding the correct answer (as well as your speed).

Recently we have been receiving many requests from EU Training’s users for some tips or methodology on how to approach the various test types, such as abstract, numerical or verbal reasoning. While the best way to learn about the methodology of succeeding at these tests is the live training webinars offered by EU Training, we decided to help the community by launching a new Tips & Tricks series on EU test methodology.

As many of you already know and as discussed in last month’s Tips & Tricks article, EPSO is completely revamping its selection procedures, starting from 2010. We have been getting a growing number of questions from the Online EU Tests community regarding our plans to offer Europe’s best services for your EPSO exam preparation needs. Good news: our team has been working hard for months to get ready for the new system: from early 2010, we will gradually introduce new services and packages to help you prepare for those “strange” new components of the EU career exams.
