Revelian Reasoning Tests
Reasoning tests (also known as cognitive ability tests) are what most job applicants can expect to encounter during the recruitment process. Assessments of this kind provided by Revelian are popular by employers to gain a well-rounded profile of your strengths and weakness. It should come as no surprise then that many applicants find these tests difficult.
There are 4 Revelian reasoning tests, each with their own time limit and number of questions. These tests include:
1) Cognitive Ability Test
2) Numerical Reasoning
3) Verbal Reasoning
4) Abstract Reasoning
As you progress through each test, the difficulty level will gradually increase. This means that you should take special care to get the earlier questions right since all questions are likely weighted the same.
Keep in mind:
- There is no penalty for a wrong answer so, the best plan of action is to make an educated guess whenever you can without delay. You should strive to answer as many questions as possible; this includes quickly guessing the remaining questions when your time is about to run out.
- Most people cannot complete all questions in the given time-frame so, don't be hard on yourself. Instead, use this knowledge and practice as often as possible; by improving your guessing strategy, you can easily outscore the competition.

The goal of this test is to measure how well you can analyse and solve numerical problems. This test is mainly used for numerical-based professions. The test consists of 25 questions within a 12-minute window.
Many Revelian questions are set in number series format. Typically the tests are presented in numerical lines or a matrix (a 3 by 3 table).
Oftentimes, people find that the latter is the preferred format because they are able to calculate numbers in 2 separate ways: 1) vertically and 2) horizontally. Thus, you can easily check your work, resulting in fewer errors.
Let's start practising a few numerical sample questions:
Question 1: Easy
Billy has been driving for 4 hours. If Billy has driven 140 km, what has Billy’s average driving speed been?
________ km/h
✔️ The correct answer is 35 km/h.
Average Speed = Distance / Time.
So, Average Speed = 140km / 4h = 35 km/h.
Therefore, the correct answer is 35 km/h.
Question 2: Hard
What is the missing number that should take the place of the question mark?
10 | 19 | 33 | 52 | ? | 105
✔️ The correct answer is 76.
10 + 9 = 19 →
19 + 14 = 33 →
33 + 19 = 52
so:
The number being added increases by 5 (+9, +14, +19) each time.
If 19 was added to 33 to get 52, then 19 + 5 = 24 was added to 52 to get ? → 76
[ 52 + 24 = 76 ]
To confirm that this is the pattern, continue with the other number → 76 24 + 5 = 29. 76 + 29 = 105.
Bingo! the correct answer is 76.

Revelian’s Verbal Reasoning Tests measures you in 3 main facets:
- Your capacity to understand concepts and take in written information.
- Your ability to process and analyse what you’ve learned.
- How well you can reach viable conclusions and offer solutions to problems you were presented with.
All technical jobs offer daily challenges requiring you to process complex data. The more complex the data the more your verbal abilities come into play in determining your performance and output.
This is why you will surely encounter this type of test or questions of this sort when applying for tech, finance, consulting etc.
When you eventually sit this test, you’ll be presented with 35 randomly generated questions (that make their order unique only to you) and given 10 minutes to complete the test.
Let's do some verbal question examples:
Question 1: Easy
4 of the following are alike in some way. Please choose the other 2:
A) Journalist
B) Essay
C) Dictate
D) Novel
E) Article
F) Autobiography
✔️ The correct answers are (A) and (C).
Essay, novel, article and autobiography are writing genres.
Journalist and Dictate are words which relate to writing but are not writing genres.
Question 2: Hard
A) The train travels at 150 km/h and makes 6 stops.
B) The train always reaches Kingston by 9:00 AM, which is two hours away from Montreal.
C) The trip to Montreal always takes exactly six hours to complete.
D) Frank leaves to the train station at 5:30 AM.
E) Frank always arrives 15 minutes before his train’s departure to Montreal at 6:00 AM.
✔️ The correct answers are (C) and (E).
This question takes into consideration one factor – time.
The statement that Frank will arrive in Montreal at exactly 12:00 PM is supported by the claims that the trip to Montreal always takes exactly 6 hours to complete (C).
And that Frank always arrives 15 minutes before his train’s departure to Montreal at 6:00 AM (E).
A 6-hour trip, leaving at 6:00 AM to Montreal means that Frank will arrive at 12:00 PM.
The other statements, (A), (B), and (D) are largely irrelevant and meant to distract the reader.
Statement (A) only speaks of the speed the train travels at, and the number of stops. One cannot prove when the train will arrive in Montreal with this statement.
Statement (B) can potentially be done mathematically, since the train leaves at 6:00 AM, arrives in Kingston at 9:00, and is 2 hours away from Montreal, meaning it will arrive at 11:00 AM, not 12:00 PM.
Statement (D) only mentions when Frank leaves his home and travels to the train station and does not work in conjunction with any other statement.

The RART specialises in finding how well you work with theoretical problems. For example, you will be asked to detect relationships between shapes, scrutinise patterns and assess diagrams.
It will be your job to go through as many of the 32 problems as you can in the timed 10 minutes.
Let's jump into practicing some abstract sample questions:
Question 1: Easy
✔️ The correct answer is (B) and (E).
All the items except item (B) and (E) have identical counterparts:
(A) and (F) are identical.
(C) and (D) are identical.
Items (B) and (E) are the only ones that do not have identical counterparts.
Question 2: Hard
✔️ The correct answer is (B) and (C).
Items (A), (D), (E), and (F) all contain shapes who have a total of 12 sides, when you count the sides of all of the shapes in a given item.
For example, item (E) contains a single shape with 12 sides.
Same thing goes for item (A), which contains 3 shapes – one with 4 sides, one with 3 sides, and one with 5 sides.
When you add the number of sides in all of the shapes, you will find there is a total of 12 sides in the item.
(3 + 4 + 5 = 12)
The same is true of items (D) and (F).
Items (B) and (C), however, have a different number of sides:
Item (B) contains a total of 13 sides (10 + 3 = 13).
Item (C) contains a total of 19 sides (4 + 7 + 8 = 19).
Revelian Personality Tests
This test specializes in finding how well you work with theoretical problems. For example, you will be asked to detect relationships between shapes, scrutinize patterns and assess diagrams. It is your job to go through as many of the 32 problems as you can in the allotted 10 minutes.
Revelian personality tests also include 4 main tests that assess your character, behavior and attitudes. They tend to be longer than the tests in the previous category, with some tests reaching upwards of 170 different questions. These are not difficult but may be a major obstacle if you lack the desired traits and behavioral inclinations the company is looking for.
They assess specific capabilities such as your ability to understand other people’s emotions, your decisions in different work-related situations, and how well you think outside the box.

Revelian’s difficulty level depends on you. Some people find verbal reasoning easier than numerical and vice versa. What often stumps most people is the short timeframe given to each section of the test.
We recommend carefully reading all the instructions beforehand and remain focused and calm during the test.
You can take the test once every 12 months.
Unfortunately, no. You will only be asked to take the test after your application has been screened and selected to continue in the recruitment process.
This is highly likely. Revelian provides employers the option of comparing your test results to a normative group under a variety of criteria including the specific job, industry, entry-level or their particular companies’ incoming employees.
You can’t. The only way to participate in Revilian-based games is by receiving an invitation from an employer that uses Revelian as a test provider.
The best way to prepare is to think up various challenging situations and re-visit how you reacted. Feel free to practice using our generic personality test prep pack as well.
While you can look on Revelian’s main website to play similar games, there is nothing you can do to learn beforehand.
