Epic Skills Assessment Logical Pattern Recognition 4 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which comes next in the series: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, ___?
- Saturday
- Sunday (Correct answer)
- Tuesday
- Thursday
Correct answer: Sunday
The pattern skips every other day of the week, so after Friday comes Sunday.
Question 2: A number sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ___. What is next?
- 18
- 20
- 21 (Correct answer)
- 24
Correct answer: 21
This is the Fibonacci sequence where each term equals the sum of the two preceding terms: 8 + 13 = 21.
Question 3: In an analogy pattern: 2 is to 8 as 3 is to ___?
- 12
- 27 (Correct answer)
- 9
- 18
Correct answer: 27
2 is cubed to get 8 (2³=8), so 3 cubed equals 27 (3³=27).
Question 4: A rotating pattern shows an arrow pointing North, then East, then South, then West, then North again. After 13 rotations from North, where does the arrow point?
- North
- East (Correct answer)
- South
- West
Correct answer: East
The cycle length is 4; 13 ÷ 4 = 3 remainder 1, so after 13 rotations the arrow points East.
Question 5: Which image completes the analogy: Large Dark Circle : Small Light Circle :: Large Dark Square : ___?
- Large Light Square
- Small Dark Square
- Small Light Square (Correct answer)
- Large Dark Triangle
Correct answer: Small Light Square
The transformation reduces size (Large→Small) and inverts shading (Dark→Light), giving a Small Light Square.
Question 6: A number grid row reads: 6, 12, 18, 24. The row below reads: 7, 14, 21, ___. What fills the blank?
- 25
- 27
- 28 (Correct answer)
- 30
Correct answer: 28
Each row multiplies its starting number by consecutive integers; 7 × 4 = 28.
Question 7: Letters are coded so that SEND = VHQG. Using the same cipher, what does MORE decode to?
- JLOB
- PRUH (Correct answer)
- NRUH
- JOPC
Correct answer: PRUH
Each letter is shifted forward by 3 positions in the alphabet (S→V, E→H, N→Q, D→G), so M→P, O→R, R→U, E→H = PRUH.
Which comes next in the series: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, ___?
