ABN AMRO Figure Sets Tips and Practice Guide
Practical tips to prepare for ABN AMRO figure sets, with a time-management focus and advice for Cubiks and Harver online assessments.
Prepare Efficiently for Figure Sets
ABN AMRO may use figure sets as part of its online assessment process, alongside other cognitive and behavioral components. If you are invited by email, check the message carefully so you know which parts apply to you and can focus your practice on the right module.
A time-management approach works well for this category. Figure sequences are best handled by learning a consistent method, then applying it quickly enough to stay on pace during the test.

Build a Fast Approach to the Pattern
Start by scanning the full sequence before looking for details. Note changes in shape, direction, number of elements, size, rotation, fill, and position. Many questions become easier when you compare one feature at a time instead of trying to solve everything at once.
Work in a fixed order so you do not waste time jumping between possibilities. If one feature seems to explain the sequence, test it against the rest of the figures before you commit to an answer.
When you practice, use the same pace you would use in a real assessment. The goal is not only to understand the rule, but also to recognize it quickly under time pressure.
Focus Your Practice Where It Helps Most
Because ABN AMRO assessments may come through Cubiks or Harver, practice with figure sequences in a format that trains both accuracy and speed. That helps you adapt to the style of the platform while keeping your attention on the underlying logic.
Short, repeated sessions are often more effective than long sessions. Working on a few sets at a time helps you stay sharp and makes it easier to spot recurring rules such as alternating movement, progression, or reversal.
If you miss a question, review the rule immediately. Identifying why a figure does not fit is useful for building pattern recognition and for avoiding the same delay on later items.
Use Practice to Manage Test Time
Begin with untimed practice if you need to understand the question style, then move to timed sets once the method feels familiar. This progression helps you build confidence without losing track of speed.
During the assessment, do not spend too long on a single item. If a sequence is not becoming clear, make your best decision and keep moving so you preserve time for later questions.
The published free practice test for this category can be useful for a final check of your timing. Use it to confirm that you can work through the sequence calmly and at a steady pace.
