Logiks General is Talogy's flagship combined-mode cognitive assessment. Where most tests dedicate a full section to one cognitive domain, Logiks General mixes verbal, numerical, and abstract questions in a single 12-minute window. The challenge is mental switching speed — moving from a percentage calculation straight into a True/False/Cannot Say verbal item, then immediately to a shape sequence. Candidates who score well are those who context-switch fast.
50 questions in 12 minutes works out to roughly 14.4 seconds per question — extremely tight. The question mix is approximately:
| Question type | Proportion | Skills tested |
|---|---|---|
| Verbal reasoning | ~30% | Synonyms, antonyms, sentence completion, short comprehension |
| Numerical reasoning | ~30% | Basic arithmetic, percentage, ratio, simple data interpretation |
| Abstract / inductive | ~30% | Sequence completion, odd-one-out, pattern recognition |
| Mixed / spatial | ~10% | Letter sequences, simple spatial puzzles |
Order is randomised. You won't know whether question #15 is numerical or abstract until you read it. This means strategies like "do all numerical first" don't work. You take questions as they come.
Raw score (correct answers) converted to percentile against a graduate norm group. Most graduate roles cut at the 50th-65th percentile for Logiks General; competitive roles at 70th+. Because of the mixed format and tight timer, the average raw score in graduate populations is around 28-32 out of 50.
EY uses Logiks General in some non-Big-Four-cognitive pipelines. Allianz, BNP Paribas, Volvo Group, Pirelli, Atos, and several European public sector recruitments use Logiks General as a fast first-stage screen.
Switching drills. The hardest part isn't any single question type — it's the cognitive switching. Practice by alternating numerical, verbal, and abstract questions in 30-second blocks. Build a mental "context reset" routine.
Skip without hesitation. If a question takes more than 20 seconds, mark it and move on. Returning saves time only if you have spare time at the end (rare on Logiks General).
Read the question type indicator if any. Some Talogy interfaces flag the question type with a small icon — verbal, numerical, abstract. Use that 0.5 second cue to switch context faster.
The mixed-mode format actually plays to TestSolve's strengths — the AI classifier recognises each question type in under a second and routes to the appropriate solver.

Try a free solve Buy question packagesNumerical reasoning on Logiks General tests is almost always table-based: two or three small tables of financial, sales, or operational data, followed by a question that requires a multi-step calculation and a unit conversion.
Q. A retail chain sells three product lines. Units sold last quarter were 660 (Line A), 1,140 (Line B) and 310 (Line C). Average selling price was £1.00, £1.00 and £1.00 respectively. Total revenue to the nearest £ was:
A) £1,780 B) £1,950 C) £2,048 D) £2,110
A. Sum the units: 660 + 1,140 + 310 = 2,110. Answer: D.
The actual Logiks General question adds distractors: prices in pence rather than pounds, mixed currencies, unit ambiguity (per pack vs per item). Candidates who rush the unit check pick C or B despite nailing the arithmetic.
Standard Logiks General Verify numerical assessments give 18 questions in 18 minutes — about 60 seconds per question. That sounds generous but each question has 3–5 numbers to read, a calculation (often multi-step), and a unit conversion.
If you're past 75 seconds and still unsure, flag and move on — you can't recover four lost minutes from one stubborn question.
