1. ANALOGY B. Cut ✅
C. Sharp
Analogy questions compare two things that D. Wood
have a certain relationship, and you must find a

You use a pencil to write. You use a knife to
How to understand it easily: cut. (Tool: Function)
Just think of analogies as:
“A is to B as C is to ___?”
You find out how A and B are related, then look
for the option where C is related to D in the 2. DATA INTERPRETATION

Example 1: ● Assumptions: What must be true for the
Table: Monthly Sales statement to make sense?
● Conclusion: What is the result or idea
Month Sales (₱)
you can say is true based on the
Jan 10,000 statement?
Feb 12,000
Mar 15,000
Question: What is the total sales for the
first 3 months?
Solution:
10,000 + 12,000 + 15,000 = ₱37,000 Example (Assumption) :
Statement: “Liza will get sick if she doesn’t
wear a jacket.”
Example 2: What is the assumption?
Question: By how much did sales increase A. Liza is already sick
from Jan to Mar? B. Jackets are fashionable
C. Not wearing a jacket causes sickness ✅
Solution: D. Liza hates cold weather
15,000 (Mar) - 10,000 (Jan) = ₱5,000
increase Explanation:
The speaker believes jackets prevent
sickness. That belief is the assumption.

logic. Sometimes drawing a diagram helps. ● Look left to right or top to bottom.
Example 1 (Syllogism):
Premise 1: All dogs are animals.
Premise 2: All animals need water.
Example 1:
Conclusion: All dogs need water. ✅ [▲] → [▲▲] → [▲▲▲] → ?
Explanation: Answer: [▲▲▲ ]

water, then dogs also need water. Makes
sense!
Example 2:
Example 2 (If-then logic): A square rotates 90° each time → What’s next?
If it rains, we’ll cancel the trip.
⬛→⬜→⬛→⬜→?
It’s raining.
Answer: ⬛ (Pattern: alternates black and white)
What can we conclude?
The trip is cancelled.
FINAL TIPS:
Tip: Use this structure:
● If A happens, then B happens. ● Don’t overthink. The exam gives simple
logic.

● Use elimination: Remove choices that
obviously don’t match.
● Abstract problems? Count shapes or
trace movement.
● Practice daily even 15–30 minutes per
topic.
