Where 30 sits
The three things 30 is built from
Your raw score is the sum of three categories. A weak category is the quickest place to find points — train the one holding you back.
Verbal Ability
Analogies, antonyms, sentence completion, syllogisms, and attention to detail. Vocabulary and clear reasoning under time pressure.
Math & Logic
Arithmetic, percentages and ratios, word problems, number series, and tables. No calculator — clean mental math and pattern spotting.
Spatial Reasoning
Shape series, matrices, odd-one-out, and rotations. Mental manipulation of figures, which most people improve fastest with practice.
