Verbal Coding & Sequences
Alphabet forward and backward position values (EJOTY rule)Letter coding, number coding, substitution coding, Chinese codingNumber series, missing term, odd-one-out patternsDirection sense test (Compass directions, shadows, turns)
Practical Task: Instantly recite letter positions (e.g., M=13, W=23, Reverse of B=Y) in under 30 seconds.
Phase 2
Relational & Deductive Logic
Blood relations (Family tree diagrams, coded blood relations)Order and ranking (Left/right positions, overlapping queues)Syllogisms using Venn Diagrams and 'Only a Few' rulesMathematical inequalities (Statement & Conclusion with symbols)
Practical Task: Draw 15 family tree diagrams from complex coded relations without error.
Phase 3
High-Level Puzzles & Seating Arrangements
Linear seating arrangements (Single line, parallel lines facing North/South)Circular and rectangular table arrangements (Facing center vs outward)Floor-based, box-based, and schedule (Day/Month/Year) puzzlesMachine input-output logic (Step-by-step rearrangement rules)
Practical Task: Solve 2 high-level circular/floor seating puzzles within 8 minutes using parallel case notes.
Phase 4
Non-Verbal & Critical Reasoning
Mirror images, water images, paper folding & cuttingEmbedded figures, pattern completion, dice and cubesStatement & Assumptions, Statement & Arguments, Cause & EffectStatement & Course of Action (Crucial for CSAT & Bank Mains)
Practical Task: Evaluate 20 critical reasoning statements and identify valid logical assumptions.
