The test format and timing

The multiple-choice test has four 35-minute sections. Three are scored: two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension. One is unscored and can be either type.

The unscored section

One section tries out questions for future tests. It can be Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension and can come at any point, so treat every section as if it counts.

What is no longer on the test

The Analytical Reasoning section, often called logic games, was removed from the test in August 2024. Older books and courses still teach it.

Try 2 questions

Question 1

Some city council members argue that residents have lost interest in the downtown library branch, pointing to a fall in its visitor numbers last year. But the fall coincided with eight months of construction that blocked the branch's main entrance. In the four months after the entrance reopened, visitor numbers were higher than in the same months of the year before. So last year's fall in visitor numbers is not good evidence that residents have lost interest in the branch.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main conclusion of the argument?

Question 2

Every member of the Lakeside Rowing Club who competed in the spring regatta trained at least four mornings a week. Some members who competed in the regatta won medals. Every member who trained at least four mornings a week completed the club's safety course.

If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?
