Certificates / Logical reasoning / Analogy
Analogy: lesson, then the certificate test
Step 1: the lesson (about 1 min)
Find the exact relation inside the first pair, then find the option with the SAME relation in the same order.
- Name the relation in words: part of, used by, measures, opposite of, young one of, letter shift of …
- For letters, write positions (A = 1 … Z = 26) and look at the change in each place.
- Keep the direction: "A is to B" is not "B is to A".
Worked example
CAT : DBU :: PEN : ?
- C→D, A→B, T→U: every letter moves +1
- P→Q, E→F, N→O
Answer: QFO
Watch out
- Choosing an option that is related but in the reverse direction.

Step 2: the test
- 15 questions from Shishya's checked question bank, 20 minutes. Pass mark: 11 correct.
- Scored on Shishya's server; the answers are not shown afterwards, so the test stays fair. Each attempt draws new questions.
- Free. Your first test needs no account; sign up free to take more. Your answers and score are not stored; if you pass, you choose the name to print (ages 13 and up).
