CSE Logical Reasoning Reviewer

Here is another CSE Logical Reasoning exercise for you guys to use as a reviewer. I have collated some of the challenging logical reasoning questions and answers with explanations and solutions. You have to bear in mind that these questions need to be fully understood for you to answer them correctly. Doing that, however, will cost you a lot of examination time. The best way to deal with them is to get used to it so practice is the key. When you go online and search for logic exercises, do note that these kinds of Logical Tests will likely appear in the Civil Service Exam:

1. Number Series
2. Verbal Classification
3. Analogies
4. Matching Definitions
5. Verbal Reasoning
6. Statement and Assumption
7. Statement and Conclusion
8. Cause and Effect
9. Logical Deduction
10. Letter and Symbol Series
11. Essential Part

 

With Logical Reasoning having so many variations, I can confidently say that they are all somewhat difficult in their own right. What you need to have in order to understand these questions better is a well-developed reading comprehension. The more you practice solving logic exercises, the more you develop your reading comprehension skill.
