APTITUDE TEST TO IDENTIFY GIFTED/TALENTED LEARNERS
The test is designated into 4 main thematic areas with their corresponding
test items all together making 30 Items as; Reasoning-(10 Items),
Perceptual- (10 Items), Sequence- (5 Items) and Deduction-(5 Items).
REASONING
Find out whether a pair of numbers matches any of the possible answer
pairs. One of the pairs sometimes has a relationship with one of the four
possible answers a), b), c) or d). You have to find the answer that matches
one of the pairs. When none of the pairs matches any of the answers, tick
(e).
Example: 1:2
a) 1:1
b) 2:1
c) 3:2
d) 3:7
e) None
Explanation of Example: for the pair you are given, one number is half the
other number: 1 is half of 2; 2 is two times 1. The same relationship is true
for answer b). It does not matter that the numbers are the other way round.
For the next example, look at the first pair, 4:2, and see if there is a
relationship with any of the possible answer pairs. If not, look at the next
pair, 9:3, to see if that pair has a relationship with any of the answer pairs.
Possibly, neither has a relationship with any of the given answer pairs, in
which case your answer would be (e).
