ABN AMRO Analogies Explained
Learn what ABN AMRO analogies involve, how the module works, and what to expect when preparing for Cubiks and Harver assessments.
About this module
The analogies module in the ABN AMRO assessment practice package focuses on verbal reasoning. It helps you get used to identifying how two words or concepts are related, then applying the same logic to a new pair.
This module is relevant for candidates preparing for ABN AMRO’s online assessments through Cubiks (Talogy) or Harver (NOA). It is part of a broader practice package that also supports other cognitive ability test components commonly used in selection processes.

What the practice covers
In analogy questions, the relationship can be based on meaning, function, category, or another clear connection. The aim is not to guess quickly, but to recognize the pattern and choose the option that matches it most closely.
The exercise is designed to reflect the style used in common assessment platforms, including Cubiks and Harver. It fits well alongside other modules such as number sequences, figure sets, numerical reasoning, and exclusion.
A free practice test is available for this language and category, which can be useful if you want to try the format before working through the full package.
How to approach the questions
Start by reading the example pair carefully and naming the relationship in simple terms. Once that pattern is clear, compare it with each answer choice and rule out options that use a different type of connection.
A steady approach works better than rushing. These questions are usually manageable, but accuracy depends on staying consistent and checking that the same relationship appears in both pairs.
- Identify the link between the first pair of words.
- Test whether the same link fits the answer choice.
- Choose the option that matches the relationship exactly.
Preparing with confidence
Working through several examples can make the logic of analogies feel more familiar. As you practice, you will begin to notice common relationship types more quickly and spend less time second-guessing your answer.
If you have received an invitation email from ABN AMRO, check it carefully. It usually explains which assessment parts are relevant to you and whether the test comes through Cubiks or Harver. That information helps you focus your preparation on the right modules.
- Review your invitation email regularly.
- Practice both vocabulary-based and concept-based relationships.
- Use timed questions to build pace and confidence.
Where this fits in the full bundle
Analogies are only one part of the broader ABN AMRO assessment preparation package. The same bundle also helps with numerical reasoning and pattern-based exercises, which makes it useful if your assessment includes more than one cognitive ability component.
Because ABN AMRO may use a combination of test types, a focused practice package can help you understand the format before the real assessment. That familiarity often makes it easier to stay calm and work methodically on test day.
The material is also suitable for candidates preparing for Logiks Advanced and Cubiks Logiks General (Intermediate), so it supports preparation across the assessment formats most commonly linked to this employer.
