Letter Sequence Patterns and Reasoning

This video tutorial covers verbal reasoning, focusing on completing letter sequences. It explains how to identify patterns in pairs of letters and apply rules to find missing letters. Two examples demonstrate solving sequences, including complex patterns with multiple sequences. Key points include identifying separate sequences for first and second letters and using the alphabet to count forwards and backwards.

What is the primary task in verbal reasoning type 1 questions?

• Translate sentences into another language.

• Solve mathematical equations.

• Complete the letter sequence by finding the pattern.

• Identify the numerical pattern in a sequence.

What tool is typically provided to assist with letter sequence questions?

• A dictionary

• An alphabet line

• A calculator

• A thesaurus

When counting forward in the alphabet, which operation is used?

• Plus

• Divide

• Multiply

• Minus

What should you do if the rule is not consistent for the whole sequence?

• Ask for help

• Use a calculator

• Re-evaluate the rule

• Ignore the sequence

In Example 1, what is the pattern for the first letters of each group?

• Minus three

• Plus three

• Minus two

• Plus two

What is the missing pair of letters in Example 1?

• LR

• LT

• LS

• LQ

In Example 1, how do the second letters of the pairs progress?

• Plus two

• Plus three

• Minus three

• Minus two

What is the first step in solving a letter sequence problem?

• Identify the pattern between the second letters

• Identify the pattern between the first letters

• Use a calculator

• Guess the missing letters

How do you determine the next letter in a sequence?

• Move forward in the alphabet

• Move backward in the alphabet

• Use a random letter

• Use a calculator

What is the pattern for the second letters in Example 1?

• Plus two

• Plus three

• Minus three

• Minus two
