Analytical Reasoning

Logic-game questions
• The Premise

The premise is a brief paragraph that

establishes the game's setting, identifies
the specific subjects (usually people or
objects) involved in the game, and
describes generally how those subjects
are related to one another
• The Conditions

Following the premise you'll find a list of

conditions (rules) that impose specific
restrictions on the relationships among the
subjects.
• The Questions

Following the premise and conditions you'll find

a series of questions about the relationships
among the subjects. The typical logic game will
include 6-7 questions. In answering the
questions, you should consider each question
separately from the other questions. Do NOT
carry over information provided in any particular
question to other questions.
