Instead of being formatted like a standard multiple-choice test, you are placed into an environment that closely resembles the interface of a work messaging app like Slack or Microsoft Teams. The questions are then formatted like messages you might receive from various work colleagues asking for your input on a specific project.

This section assesses your ability to read and infer written data.

Questions will have anywhere from 3 to 5 answer choices. The most popular question format would be to determine whether a statement is true, false or cannot be determined.
The destruction of the world’s forests has proceeded at an alarming rate over the past two decades, mainly as a result of economic pressures in the developing world. Forests of growing trees absorb carbon dioxide, but this is released into the atmosphere when they are cut down and allowed to rot, or are burnt. The tropical rain forests, home to half the world’s plant and animal species, are of special concern.
Statement: Countries in the developing world get much of their wood from tropical rain forests
- True

- Can’t tell
Logical Reasoning
You can expect to see some figural reasoning questions, such as shape series, matrices, and pattern completion.
Attention to Detail
