Correct answer: D
Rule 1: The bottom-left half of the background is always black. The other half is randomly white or grey.
Rule 2: The double-line arrow (with the big arrow-head) spins anticlockwise, one place at a time.
Rule 3: The single-line arrow spins clockwise, two places at a time.

Does it say which is the hour hand & which is the minute hand? While it may just be a simple pattern, there might be some code hidden in the times, so that might matter.

@whoosh there's no other info besides the pictures.
Hint: you need to find the hidden rules, don't think in terms of hours or minutes, just focus on how the sequence evolves. -

@s1m0n4 I was correct, yay!
(Although I think I have the same book and had seen this one before)
Abstract is my worst category because it just takes me too long… you only get a minute per question and that’s hard -

But I'm even more concerned by the numerical reasoning test. I heard that the proctoring system doesn't allow any writing material and I can't solve those questions without scribbling down calculations and intermediate values.

@s1m0n4 last time I had a test you had a digital notepad, so you could type up some notes. Taking notes is essential!

I came up with 2 answers, but not sure which is correct. First, it looks like it's subtracting 50 minutes each time and so the correct answer would be 8:05. But that's not a choice unless there's a mistake on the answers (looks like both C and D are showing 7:05.) The other answer I got was 7:05 if you subtract 1 from the hour each time and add 10 minutes to the minute hand. But I guess both of those answers could be wrong?

@hpod16 thank you for telling me this! It is good news indeed
In which languages are you doing the tests?

@sam here you can find the correct answer with the explanation.

I was only looking at the clock hands. I should be more alert than this at 3:00pm

@s1m0n4
Language 1: German (for verbal reasoning)
Language 2: English (for EU knowledge and the EUFTE)
And you?
