ABN AMRO Analogies Assessment Tips
Prepare for ABN AMRO analogies with practical tips, relationship patterns, and time-saving methods for Cubiks and Harver assessments.
Practical preparation for ABN AMRO analogies
ABN AMRO may include analogies in its online assessment process, often alongside other cognitive tests and any additional personality or behavioral components. If you are invited by email, use that message to check which parts are relevant to you and focus your practice accordingly.
For analogies, the main goal is to spot how two words are connected and then apply the same relationship to the answer choices. A steady approach helps more than broad vocabulary alone, especially when the assessment is timed.
This practice is useful for candidates preparing for Cubiks (Talogy) and Harver (NOA), including the Logiks Advanced and Cubiks Logiks General (Intermediate) formats.

How to approach analogy items
Start by naming the relationship in simple terms: meaning, function, category, part-to-whole, or another clear link. Once the pattern is clear, test each option against that same link instead of comparing the words in a general way.
Keep your decision-making process short. If one answer matches the relationship immediately, move on and avoid overthinking synonyms that only seem similar on the surface.
- Identify the connection between the original pair.
- Check whether the same relationship holds in the answer choice.
- Eliminate options that change the type of relationship.
- Use the most exact match, not the closest-looking pair.
Focused tips for faster and steadier results
Use practice sessions to build pattern recognition, not just speed. Repeated exposure to common relationship types makes it easier to decide quickly when the assessment presents unfamiliar word pairs.
Read each pair carefully. Small differences in wording can change the relationship, so it helps to stay precise and avoid assumptions based on everyday language.
A short review after each set is valuable. Note whether a mistake came from misreading the pair, choosing the wrong relationship, or spending too long comparing options.
- Solve the easiest items first to settle into the test format.
- Use elimination when two options seem close.
- Move on promptly if a pair is not clearing up after a few seconds.
Building a simple preparation routine
Combine analogy practice with the other cognitive areas ABN AMRO commonly uses, such as number sequences, numerical reasoning, figure sequences, and exclusion. That broader mix helps you stay comfortable with the overall assessment flow.
Because the invitation email contains the most relevant details, check your inbox regularly and read the instructions carefully once it arrives. Then adjust your practice time to the specific modules named there.
If you are preparing for both Cubiks and Harver, keep your training flexible. A balanced routine with timed drills and review sessions is usually enough to support consistent performance across both platforms.
