It's a card based/logical reasoning (deduction?test.

I *think* the general consensus is it's quite easy...although you can't really prepare for it.

You'll be given 5 or 6 piles of cards all with information from which certain rules can be deduced..although the information won't be complete.

For example, one set of cards wil be about company car allowances. Each card will show how far the person drives each month/year/the grade of their job/their job title. Few if any will be complete and you have deduce the rule from the information you do have. For example over 25k miles is "the only thing the same" on two cards with the same car allowance. Therefore over 25k probably gets that grade in every instance unless you have deduced OTHER information to the contrary. You don't have to work out ALL the rules, you only have to figure out the rule relevant to the gaps ont he "question card" which has it's blanks marked with question marks.

Some are number based. Some are alphabetical/verbal based, most combine the two. One I did was based on timezones and planning meetings between them.

I don't think they change it very often but it is impossible for me to remember much more than that!

They do give you a couple of practices first and they tell you if you need to re-examine your answers.

Hope that helps, it definitely sounds harder than it is! Ooh one thing...
